Excerpt from Instructor in Practical Court Reporting The following pages are the offspring of a desire to instruct the would-be court reporter in the appli cation of stenography to the recording of judicial proceedings, and to assist him to surmount the many obstacles which beset his path; to place before the trial lawyer the difficult nature of the labors of the court stenographer, and to paint for the law student a true picture of the life of the court-room: to the end, that the mere stenographer may, if he choose, become a competent court reporter; that the trial lawyer may discover how to obtain the best work from the latter, and that the law student may learn the various steps in the trial of cases as they are, in fact, taken.
