Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mac Laurin's Self-Instructing Writing Books, or Every Man and Boy His Own Writing-Master: A Special Adaptation of the School System to the Use of Individuals Who Wish to Acquire Rapidity and Elegance of Handwriting, Without the Aid of a Teacher
The cause of this remarkable and uniform fail ure, in a great and important branch of our whole educational system, has never been understood, and much less the efficient remedy applied, until the discoveries and inventions of Mr. Maclaurin. When pointed out, they become simple and obvi ous, and teachers are everywhere surprised that they had not long since made the same discoveries. No system of instruction, in any branch of science, ever seemed destined so rapidly and completely to take the place of all others. In the public schools of our large cities, its triumphs have been complete, and it is rapidly working its way into the country as well. In addition to this, the de sign of the Publisher is to introduce it into every family where there' is an individual no longer at school, and who has failed to acquire this valua b'le accomplishment. For that purpose this little book of instructions is compiled, in addition to the Exercise and Writing Books.
