MANUAL OF HANDWRITING

The twin Resolutions of the Vienna Council and the London Congress are a very fitting consummation to the sister campaigns and to the previous deliverances of authoritative Educational and Medical Corporations to which reference has been made throughout the pages of this work. The appended list of Congresses, Councils and Celebrities, the latter distinguished for their scientific and educational attainments, who after patient and exhaustive research aided by profuse experiments have emphatically declared in favour of Upright Penmanship will indicate the extent of the reaction on the Continent.
