By JOHN JACKSON

Theory and Practice of Vertical Writing, $1.25 Teaching of Vertical Writing, .50
* * * * *
John Jackson, the originator of this system of vertical writing, is the only teacher who has had the years of practice in teaching it that make these the standard manuals for teachers and students. The adoption of vertical writing abroad and in this country is largely due to his persistent work and the marvellous results of his teaching. His series of copy-books were the first to be used in this country, and are considered by experienced teachers, who are not to be misled by mere beauty of engravers work, to contain the only practical well-graded course of instruction leading from primary work to the rapid and now justly celebrated =telegraph hand=--for these books are the only ones containing copies in this rapid writing. The telegraph hand is the style used by the best telegraph operators in the country--and these writers are universally acknowledged to be the most rapid writers, and writers of a hand which of necessity must be most legible.
