On Mixed
Inverted Transposition:
By the Varying Position, Character, and
Form of the Letters.
Such
is the Simple Transposition and the Artificial Transposition of this class.
We come now to Mixed Transposition,
in which the method of making Transposition is simple, and yet, by an artificial
arrangement of the table, one Transpositive letter only is to be set down, or
written. This process takes place
in three ways: by variation in
the way of writing the letters, or by limitation of the writing by numbers, or
by apposition of small notes by the side of the writing.
Whence arise, once more, three Modes of this Transposition.
The first Mode, whereof the principle
is variation in the way of writing the letters, is again affected by varying Position, by variation of different
characters, and by Form, and is thereby
declared. Varying Position of
letters, traces of which may be found in
the expression of the various Modes of writing treated by Herman Hugo, De
Prim, Scrib. Orig.. c. 8 is shown in the
following table, constructed by myself:

There is no need here of an explanation, no need of guidance to the praxis: the matter is clear from the explanation of the previous methods.
