We are not prep ared to say whether Mr. Jackson , th e compiler o$ this seri es of copy books in verti cal caligrap hy, is correct in his conte ntion that the upri ght style is most in harmony with physiological princi ples, but the re cannot be a qu estion that it is more consistent than the old obli que writing with the training of the hand in dra wing and shorthand ; and both the artist and the shorthand writer would have reason to be I thankful for being from the beginning taug ht to write in the upri ght positi on. Ma ny artists dri ft into j upri ght penmanshi p naturall y, and , while many shorthand wri ters do the sam e, every man who has to wri te phonogra phy feels that he has been placed at a disadvantage by having been taug ht to slope his penmanshi p fro m the ri ght to the left. Mr. Jackson claims for this method over sloping writing the advanta ges of legibility , speed of penmanshi p, and artistic superiority. He says that with its ad van- , tages it has no disadvantages ; it is more easily taught , more quickly acquired , and covers less grou nd , while there is greater 1 bodily ease and lees fati gue at the work . The author certainl y makes out a stro ng case for his system , and he teaches it logically and systematicall y. His infant exer cises—th e *' stroke s and pothook s " of his system—are uprigh t, and there is practicall y no difference but the differenc e of size between his largest handwriting and his smallest. The exercises are really very att ractive. The writing is, indeed , quite beautiful . There are in it all the elements of freedom , speed, perfect legibility, I and grace. All the worl d knows that a large number of people write verticall y, and yet there has been no vertical teaching in our schools.> The copy-books are admirably got up.'
