LESSONS IN" PENMANSHIP. VI. 



IN our last lesson wo showed our learners how to make the 

 letters m and n by combinations of the top-turn and tho top- 

 and-bottom-turn. In the present lesson we set before them fivo 

 Copy-slips for practice, comprising various combinations of the 

 letters m. and n with tho letters i, u, t, and 1, which they 

 learned to form from the simple bottom-turn. Doubtless many 

 of those who have been endeavouring to teach themselves tho 

 art of Penmanship by tho aid of our lessons, aro now beginning 

 to see that, after all, it is not such a difficult matter to learn 

 to write, since by learning to form only three strokes of a very 

 simple kind, they have found that they have acquired tho power 

 of writing six out of tho twenty-six letters that form tho alphabet. 

 They will soon see that this is by no means tho utmost limit of 

 their progress, when in tho course of future lessons they dis- 

 cover how many letters there aro into whose composition those 

 three elementary strokes also enter. 



In preparing paper for copying all our elementary copy-slips 

 in largo text, tho learner must not omit to insert tho diagonal 

 lines as they appear in Copy-slips Nos. 1 to 6 inclusive, as long 

 as ho finds them absolutely necessary for tho regulation of the 

 slope of his letters, and to enable him to preserve a proper 

 distance between them. To save trouble in ruling sheet after 

 sheet of paper with horizontal and diagonal lines at the proper 

 distances from each other, and to save expense as well, tKo 

 learner might rule with a sharp-pointed steel instrument, such 

 as a bradawl, one side of a cheap slate with seta of lines similar 

 to those in our copy-slips, taking care, however, to leave a space 

 of one inch and a quarter between each set, to enable him to add 

 tho extra horizontal lines that will bo required when ho begins 

 to make looped letters, and letters such as p and q, that'cxtend 

 below tho lower of tho two horizontal lines that contain what we 

 have called tho body of the letter. A slate thus prepared will be 

 found useful for acquiring facility in forming the various letters, 

 but the learner must by no means omit to write on paper as well.
