VERE FOSTER'S WRITING COPY-BOOKS.

POPULAR EDITION, 1d. SUPERIOR EDITION. 2d. (No. 10, 3d.)

_Quarto Edition (Fine Glazed Paper) of Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, Sixpence each._

The distinguis.h.i.+ng characteristics of this Series are as follows:--

1. Combination in the greatest possible degree of legibility with rapidity. The formation of the Letters, and notably of _a_, _d_, _g_, _q_, are adapted to this end. 2. The Tailed Letters are of moderate length. The up and down strokes are of nearly equal thickness, as contradistinguished from the Engraver's style. 3. The writing of each word is continuous from end to end. 4. Exclusion of Large Hand as unfit for small fingers. 5. Systematically progressive arrangement of Head Lines. 6. Two Lines of Copy on a page. 7. Careful selection of Proverbs and Aphorisms. 8. The same clear, simple style of Writing for both s.e.xes, _there being no good reason why girls should be taught a cramped, illegible hand_.
