LESSONS IN PENMANSHIP. V. 



HITHERTO the attention of the learner has been confined to 

 letters based on the elementary stroke called the " pot-hook " 

 or "bottom-turn." He may now proceed to copy the next 

 elementary stroke, called the "top-turn " or " hanger," as shown 

 in Copy-slip No. 11. 



This stroke will be found to enter into the composition of 

 three letters only, and therefore plays by no means so important 

 a part in the formation of the writing alphabet as the bottom- 

 turn, which, as it has been already said, enters into the 

 composition of no less than nine. It consists of a fine hair- 

 stroke, commenced on the central line c c, and carried upwards 

 in a direction bending gradually towards the right, as far 

 a tho upper line a a, where it is turned and changed into 

 broad down-stroke, which is brought downwards, with an 

 equal pressure of the pen throughout, as far as the lower 

 line b 6. 



The top-turn may be described as being precisely the reverse 

 of the bottom-turn; or, in other words, the bottom-turn reversed, 

 as may be seen by turning the page upside down, and examin- 

 ing the stroke in this position. It is only used in combination 

 with other elementary strokes in forming letters, for unlike the 

 Ibottom-turn, there is no letter of the writing alphabet which is 

 formed of this stroke alone, or even by its repetition or any 

 modification of it. 



It is needful, therefore, for the learner to become acquainted 

 with a third elementary stroke before he can proceed to the 

 formation of any new letters, and this he will find in the top 

 and bottom-turn shown in Copy-slip* No. 12. This stroke enters 

 into the composition of six letters of the writing alphabet, as 

 the learner will find in future lessons. It consists of a fine 

 | hair-stroke, commenced at the central line c c, brought upwards 

 towards the right in a gentle curve, and turned at the upper 

 line a a into a broad down-stroke, which is again narrowed as it 

 approaches the lower line 6 & into a fine hair-stroke that is 

 turned and carried upwards towards the right. It may be de- 

 scribed as being formed of the upper half of the top-turn and 

 the lower half of the bottom-turn, joined together on the 

 line c c. Examples of all these elementary strokes will be found 

 in No. 1 of " Cassell's Penny Copy-Books." When the learner 

 can make these strokes with ease, he will find that he is in a 

 position to form two more letters of tho writing alphabet with- 

 o-at any difficulty whatever, while he has also advanced more 

 than half-way towards the formation of the seven other letters 

 that are partly made by the aid of these strokes. He may now 

 proceed to copy the letters n. and m, as shown in Copy-slips 

 Nos. 13 and 14, observing that the letter n consists of a com- 

 bination of these two strokes only, the top-turn being made first, 

 and the top-and-bottom-turn added to it, while in the letter m 

 tho top-turn is repeated twice, and the letter is then completed 

 by the additioa of the top-and-bottom-turn.
