Payson, Dunton & Scribner's Penmanship.

THE MOST COMPLETE, SYSTEMATIC, AND BEST EVER PUBLISHED.

A system which has done more for the advancement of this important branch of education than any other ever published; and which has been the means of awakening an interest in the subject never before felt, which drew from the celebrated educator, the Hon. HORACE MANN, the following approval: "This is the first common-sense system I have

ever seen."

The complete and comprehensive character of this system may be seen from the following list of the works which it comprises:

1. TWELVE COPY-BOOKS, which include a regularly-graded system of instruction, commencing with the simplest principles and closing with a most beautifully finished hand. 2. OBLIQUE LINES, for teaching the pupil the proper slope in writing.

3. A MANUAL FOR TEACHERS: containing a full statement of Payson, Dunton & Scribner's celebrated Method of Teaching.

4. CHIROGRAPHIC TABLETS:

A new and original method for illustrating the

formation and combination of the elements. Designed for class-teaching.

6. A SYSTEM OF BOOK-KEEPING, adapted to the System of Penmanship, in which the Daybook, Journal and Ledger are presented in written form.

A full description of the books in the Series will be sent to all who desire it.

A Descriptive Catalogue of our Publications will be sent, if applied for.

ANALYSIS is not merely separating into parts but must distinguish things that differ. This fact is worthy of consideration, as it enables us to decide between the true and the false.

The question, then, in the analysis of the alphabet is, what are the things that differ? Since penmanship is an art, in which certain forms are made by certain movements, it is evident that not form only, but the movement also, by which that form is made, must be taken into consideration. One form may be the same as another form, and yet from its different position, (being inverted and reversed, for instance,) it may require a different set of movements, and consequently, is a thing to be distinguished because differing in practice in an essential particular. Analysis may be of two kinds the one merely for purposes of knowing; the other for practical use. In a matter like penmanship evidently the purely scientific must give place to the
