Using each shorthand system I post about, I will try my best to transcribe the following passage (by Oscar Wilde). I will also provide a rough transliteration of the symbols into the English alphabet, to give a sense of the abbreviation rules. That way, the systems can be compared at a glance from a common baseline, for both aesthetics and mechanics.
For years Dorian Gray could not free himself from the influence of this book; or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he never sought to free himself from it. He procured from Paris no less than nine large-paper copies of the first edition, and had them bound in different colors so that they might suit his various moods and the changing nature over which he seemed at times to have almost entirely lost control. The hero, the wonderful young Parisian in whom the romantic and scientific temperament were so strangely blended, became to him a kind of prefiguring type of himself. And, indeed, the whole book seemed to him to contain the story of his life, written before he had lived it.
