THE PESNAS's MASUAL.-Being New Theory
and System Of Practical Penmanship, designed
ds Textbook for Schools and Private Students.
By Business Penman. Published by Fowler
& Wells New York. Price, so cents.
In nine-tenths Of our schools, peumanship is
taught as mere mechanical process Of initiating
certain marks that are set in the copy, and with
out regard to any fixed and rational principles
This fact alone, perhaps, sufficiently accounts
for the very small proportion Of good penmen
there are in the community, inasmuch as Il leaves
the acquisition Of an easy and elegant ctiro
graphy to the fortuitous outworkings of each
individuals personal instincts or talents at imita-
tiOn. The Manual whose title is given above
aims at q thorough remedy Of this defective
mode Of teaching, by offering in its stead
methOdized series Of rules which together lift
the art Of penmanship out Of the sphere Of mere
empiricism, and place II on the basis Of a fixed
science, which all may acquire by little study
aud practice. The author has thoroughly anal.
yzed his subject, and has shown; among other
things, that all the letters both Of the upper and
lower case alphabets, spring from five elements
or movements, which elements or movements
become the first copies for the pupil TO practice
from. The pupil, simply by reading and under.
standing the "Penman's Manual" becomes q
good judge and able critic Of writing. This fact
alone Is one Of the strongest and most conclu-
sive proofs Of the superiority Of the system over
all others and we believe that we can give no
better advice to these who wish to become good
Penmeni than to purchase this "Manual," and
carefully study it. We should be glad to see it
introduced into Gll Of our public schools, and
respectfully beg leave TO call the attention Of the
proper officers thereto.
