of the letter e, which would be greatly curtailed in size and 

 robbed of its proper proportions if the final curve of tho v, b, 

 or w that precedes it were carried to the right midway between 

 the lines a a, c c, in the ordinary way, instead of being brought 

 downwards as far as the line c c and then turned into the loop 

 of the letter e. 



The four remaining letters of tho writing alphabet namely, 

 r, f, k, and z each exhibit a peculiarity of form that is 

 not to be found in any other letter. Tho elementary strokes 

 which ore combined to form the letter r are shown in Copy-slip 

 No. 69, and the letter r itself in a complete form in Copy-slip 



followed by e, the finishing turn, as in the case of the final 

 curve terminating tho letters V, W, and b, is made larger in 

 order to carry it into the fine np-stroko commencing at c c, 

 which forms the loop of the letter e. 



An example of the letter r, in conjunction with letters pre- 

 ceding and following it, will bo found in Copy-slip No. 71. in 

 the word roller. The elementary looped stroke, turned at the 

 top, which generally forms the upper part of the letter f, i* 

 given in Copy-slip No. 72. It resemblea the loop-stroke, turned 

 at the bottom, which enters into the composition of the letters 

 j, g, and y, in a reversed position.
