REINHARDT, + +_Chief Draftsman for "Engineering News."_ + + +What this work actually intends to show is a "Practical System of +Freehand Lettering for Working Drawings"--one that by the method +outlined, is easily acquired and rapidly executed. The mode of procedure +given for every letter can easily be followed and always be remembered, +and by avoiding the common errors, as pointed out in parenthesis +alongside each correctly formed letter, the student will very soon be +able to form satisfactory letters for himself.--_Preface_. + + +TESTIMONIALS. + +"It is the first book on Lettering I have ever seen that is good for +anything, practically speaking. I shall advocate its adoption in this +college at the earliest opportunity."--_Prof. Walter Flint, Maine State +College._ + +"It comes nearer to may ideal of a satisfactory treatment of this +subject than anything I have ever seen."--_Professor E H. Lockwood, Yale +University._ + +"My opinion of it is good, generally, and that it fills a long felt +want. It teaches what I have been trying to teach for some +time--commercial work."--_Prof. W.B.

I shall use the book +hereafter in my classes."--_Prof. Leonard S. Smith, University of +Wisconsin._ + +"This book is to the point, and supplies just what is wanted to the +profession. It is neat, concise, and a book that should be in the hands +of every student."--_Prof. C. W. Marx, Missouri State University._ + +"In my opinion it fills a long felt want of every practical draftsman, +besides finding an especial field of usefulness in school work."--_Prof. +Granberry Jackson, Vanderbilt University._ + +"I have examined his work and am surprised at the results of a trial. I +find that a beginner can make respectable letters with a copy of this +valuable book before him. I heartily recommend it for use in Technical +schools as being ahead of anything I have ever seen."--_Prof. R. D. +Hawkins, Tulane University._ + + +D.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/39398-8.zip b/39398-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..39d9074 --- /dev/null +++ b/39398-8.zip diff --git a/39398-h.zip b/39398-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..41c1be8 --- /dev/null +++ b/39398-h.zip diff --git a/39398-h/39398-h.htm b/39398-h/39398-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5755af2 --- /dev/null +++ b/39398-h/39398-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1136 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<!-- $Id: header.txt 236 2009-12-07 18:57:00Z vlsimpson $ --> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of A System of Easy Lettering, by J.

The mode of procedure +given for every letter can easily be followed and always be +remembered, and by avoiding the common errors, as pointed out in +parenthesis alongside each correctly formed letter, the student will +very soon be able to form satisfactory letters for himself.—<i>Preface</i>.</p> + +<div class = "center"><big>TESTIMONIALS.</big></div> + +<p>"It is the first book on Lettering I have ever seen that is good for +anything, practically speaking.

It is neat, concise, and a book that should be in the hands +of every student."—<i>Prof. C. W.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

REINHARDT, + +_Chief Draftsman for "Engineering News."_ + + +What this work actually intends to show is a "Practical System of +Freehand Lettering for Working Drawings"--one that by the method +outlined, is easily acquired and rapidly executed. The mode of procedure +given for every letter can easily be followed and always be remembered, +and by avoiding the common errors, as pointed out in parenthesis +alongside each correctly formed letter, the student will very soon be +able to form satisfactory letters for himself.--_Preface_. + + +TESTIMONIALS. + +"It is the first book on Lettering I have ever seen that is good for +anything, practically speaking. I shall advocate its adoption in this +college at the earliest opportunity."--_Prof. Walter Flint, Maine State +College._ + +"It comes nearer to may ideal of a satisfactory treatment of this +subject than anything I have ever seen."--_Professor E H. Lockwood, Yale +University._ + +"My opinion of it is good, generally, and that it fills a long felt +want. It teaches what I have been trying to teach for some +time--commercial work."--_Prof. W.B. Hampson, University of Nebraska._ + +"It is just what my knowledge of the author's work on _Engineering News_ +would lead me to expect--a practical system. I shall use the book +hereafter in my classes."--_Prof. Leonard S. Smith, University of +Wisconsin._ + +"This book is to the point, and supplies just what is wanted to the +profession. It is neat, concise, and a book that should be in the hands +of every student."--_Prof. C. W. Marx, Missouri State University._ + +"In my opinion it fills a long felt want of every practical draftsman, +besides finding an especial field of usefulness in school work."--_Prof. +Granberry Jackson, Vanderbilt University._ + +"I have examined his work and am surprised at the results of a trial. I +find that a beginner can make respectable letters with a copy of this +valuable book before him.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
