Deutsche Tachygraphie oder Kurze, leichtfaßliche und vollständige Anweisung, mittelst besondere einfacher Charactere - Heim, Friedrich Jakob Philipp 1789-1850 (Leipzig Hartmann, 1820)
Friedrich Jakob Philipp Heim was a Protestant pastor and founder of the Paulinenpflege Winnenden, a Protestant institution, which is active in the field of youth and disability welfare. During his studies, Heim developed his own system of shorthand, with the purpose of enabling his brother, who as an officer did not have the opportunity to study, to have a kind of correspondence course by sending him manuscripts of lectures.
