event is placed too high up or too far back ; generally a devia- 

 tion from the order of time. 



" The dresses and buildings of the time are preserved, though by 

 frequent anachronisms." Walpole. 



The ana is found also in anagram (Greek, ypa/j./j.a, pronounced 

 gram'-ma, a letter), which is a word produced by the transposi- 

 tion of its letters, having a, meaning different from the original. 



" And see where Juno, whose great name 

 Is Uuio in the anagram, 

 Displays her glittering state and chair." Ben Jonson. 



Ante, of Latin origin, fee/ore, as antedate, to date before time, 

 to anticipate 



" Andromache, my soul's far better part, 



Why with untimely sorrows heaves thy heart ? 



No hostile hand can antedate my doom, 



Till fate condemns me to the silent tomb." Pope's Homer. 



Anti, of Greek origin (avn, pronounced an'-te, against), in 

 opposition to, as in antichrist, opposed to Christ 



" If once that antichristian crew, 

 * Be crush' d and overthrown, 



We'll teach the nobles how to crouch, 

 And keep the gentry down." Quarks. 



In theology, antitype stands correlatively over against type, as 

 the counter-pattern to the pattern, the corresponding and com- 

 pleting form. 



" The Mosaic law was intended for a single people only, who were 

 to be shut in, as it were, from the rest of the world, by a fence of 

 legal rites and typical ceremonies; and to be kept by that means 

 separate and unmixed until the great antitype, the Messiah, should 

 appear, and break down this fence and lay open this inclosure." 

 Atterbury. 



The i in anti is sometimes dropped before a vowel, as in 

 antarctic, which means opposite to or over against the north.

LESSONS IN PENMANSHIP. XIII. 



ITU Copy-slip No. 43 the learner is shown how the letter q is 

 connected with the letter 11. which may be justly termed its 

 inseparable companion, as there is no word in the English 

 language in which q appears without being immediately followed 

 by 11. It is just possible, however, to give a word which forms 

 an exception to this rule ; and to satisfy those who may be 

 curious on the point, and to make some slight addition to their 

 stock of geographical knowledge, we may at once tell our readers 

 that if they will take the trouble to search the map of France, 

 they will find it in the name of a little country town called Acqs 

 or Ax, whieh is situated in the department of Arriege, near the 

 foot of the Pyrenees, and noted for the hot springs that are 

 found in its neighbourhood. In writing the word qtlill, the 

 lonrner will find a useful exercise in carrying letters above and 

 "below the lines a a, bb, in the same word, the practice afforded 

 being similar to that which was given by the words put and 

 pull in Copy-slips 30 and 34. 



In a former lesson (see page 173) it was remarked that 

 there were some letters of the writing alphabet whose form is 

 based on that of the letter O- These letters, which are C, X, e, 

 and S, may be fairly termed modifications of the letter O, in the 

 same way that we have the letters t and 1 as modifications of the 

 pot-hook or bottom-turn. The first of them, the letter C, is con> 

 menced about the same^distance above the line c c as the letter 

 O, but instead of beginning with a hair-line, a dot is first formed 

 from which a hair-line is carried round to the left, and the rest 

 of the letter is formed in the same way as the letter O, with this 

 exception, that the fine turn at the bottom of the letter is carried 

 to the right and joined to the letter that follows it, as may be 

 seen in Copy-slip No. 45. The dot with which the letter c is 

 commenced is made (the self -teacher must carefully note this), 

 not exactly in the same spot in which the letter o is usually 

 commenced, but about a hair's breadth to the left of it, and the 

 hair-line is carried on from the bottom of the dot, and not from 

 the top of it, in a direction which turns first to the right and then 

 upwards, after which the letter ia completed as described above.
