Résumé :
Excerpt from The Grand Master: Being Some Extracts From the Short-Hand Correspondence of Robert Cabbel Roffe, With His Much Valued Friend Thomas Molineux, of Macclesfield

There is a pleasure in Letters, which books cannot supply, and there is a still greater pleasure, a charm, in conversation, which even letters cannot entirely supply. But short-hand letters, Iwill maintain, until my dying day, Sir, make the nearest possible approach to conver sation, as it enables us to write with greater ease and ?uency, than is usually effected in long - hand. Now in the frankness of epistolary correspondence it has been justly remarked, consists its principal charm. A book of instruction, for instance, is read like a Sermon.
