Neither trouble nor expense has been spared in order to secure the services of the best steel engravers in the Union ; as an
evidence of this, the work will speak for itself. The names of the artists, who engraved the different plates, will be found at
the bottom of every page. We do not hesitate to say that, so far as our judgment and experience go in these matters, these
gentlemen have no superiors in this branch of the art.
This work comprises in all thirty-three plates of various designs of ORNAMENTAL ALPHABETS, and a few compositions intended
to illustrate the effects of a combination of different styles of lettering.
The alphabetical plates consist of a series of Analytical and Finished Capitals and Lower Case letters, in plain and ornamental
Roman Print, German Text, Old English Print, English Church Text, German Print, Round or Text Hand, Italian, Italic or
Stump Writing, and German Epistolary Writing. The student will be greatly assisted in the drawing of letters, by a careful
observation and study of the Analytical plates.
Numeral Figures, both plain and ornamental, and of varied styles, to correspond with the different characteristics of the
Roman Print, &c., are also given on the several plates.
FLOURISHES. To attain superiority in flourishing requires good taste, diligent study, and careful practice. Although no plate
has been devoted exclusively to Flourishes, yet there is an almost endless variety in the pages which contain the German Text,
Old English Capitals, &c., &c. Each of these should be practised separately by the learner before he attempts a combination of
them. The Title-page, and several others given, illustrate how these movements, i. e., Flourishes, may be varied.
Perhaps the best exercises that can be given for practice in striking, are the Round Hand and Italian Capitals, as all
flourishes considered individually form part of a letter. In the formation of these letters the penman may depend a great deal
upon his own fancy, as they may be made in a great variety of styles, yet their general characteristics must be preserved.
Those persons who practise flourishing and striking of Capitals off-hand will necessarily become more elegant business writers,
as those exercises tend to impart strength and freedom of motion to the arm, hand, and fingers.
