GOOD HANDWRITING. 



George Darnell 's Copy-Books after over a 



quarter of a century of public favour are everywhere acknowledged 

 as the best for simplicity and thoroughness. With these Copy-Books 

 the pupil advances in the art of writing with ease and rapidity, while 

 the labour of the teacher is very greatly lightened. They are used 

 in nearly all the best Schools in Great Britain and the Colonies, and 

 are adapted to the New Educational Code. 



The first Ten Numbers of each Series have on every alternate line 

 appropriate and carefully written copies in pencil coloured ink to be first 

 written over and then imitated, the remaining numbers having two copies 

 on each page in Hack ink for imitation only. 



ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM. 

 It is the production of an experienced Schoolmaster. 



It gradually advances from, the Simple Stroke to a superior Small 

 Hand. 



The assistance given in the Primal Lesson is reduced as the learner 

 progresses, until all guidance is safely withdrawn. 



The number and variety of the copies secure attention, and prevent 

 the pupils copying their own writing, as in books with single 

 head-lines.

The system insures the progress of the learner, and greatly lightens 

 the labours of the teacher.
