This book also gives the whole +alphabet, not in separate letters, but rather as one <i>word</i>; and, at the end of +the alphabet, the difficult letters are repeated so as to render the writing of the +pupil more thorough and <i>uniform</i>.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Third</span> contains additional <i>large-hand practice</i>.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Fourth</span> contains <i>large-hand words</i>, commencing with <i>unflourished</i> +capitals; and the words being short, the capitals in question receive the +attention they demand. As Large, and Extra Large-text, to which the fingers +of the learner are not equal, have been dispensed with in this series, the +popular objection of having <i>too many Copy-books</i> for the pupil to drudge +through, is now fairly met. When letters are very large, the scholar cannot +compass them without stopping to change the position of his hand, which +<i>destroys</i> the <i>freedom</i> which such writing is intended to promote.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Fifth</span> contains the essentials of a useful kind of <i>small-hand</i>. There +are first, as in large-hand, five easy letters of the alphabet, forming four +copies, which of course are repeated. Then follows the remainder of the +alphabet, with the difficult characters alluded to. The letters in this hand, +especially the <i>a</i>, <i>c</i>, <i>d</i>, <i>g</i>, <i>o</i>, and <i>q</i>, are so formed that when the learner will +have to correspond, his writing will not appear stiff. The copies in this book +are not <i>mere Large-hand reduced</i>.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Sixth</span> contains <i>small-hand copies</i>, with instructions as to the manner +in which the pupil should hold his pen, so that when he leaves school he may +not merely have some facility in copying, but really possess the information +on the subject of writing which he may need at any future time.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Seventh</span> contains the foundation for a style of <i>small-hand</i>, adapted to +females, <i>moderately pointed</i>.</p> + +<p class='c029'>The <span class='sc'>Eighth</span> contains copies for females; and the holding of the pen is, of +course, the subject to which they specially relate.</p> + +<p class='c035'><i>This Series is specially adapted for those who are preparing for a commercial +life.
