Notwithstanding that the best way to gain a perfect knowledge of shorthand is to learn perfectly every lesson given in this book, together with the shorthand plates of the business letters, court testimony and convention report, so that the student will be able to write anything in this book exactly as it is represented in these plates, without reference to any one of them, still, for the satisfaction of those people who unnecessarily insist on having a list of words to refer to, the author has arranged, for this part of the book, an alphabetical list of every word and phrase in this book, so that, if the student cannot find an outline readily in the plates, it can be found easily by referring to this list.

The arrangement is alphabetical, with numbers opposite each word showing page, etc., on which it is to be found.
