CHAMBERS'S GOVERNMENT HAND COPY BOOKS.

Approved by Department of Public Instruction.

The Letters are continuously joined to each other, so that the pupil need not lift the pen from the beginning to the end of each word. The Spaces between the letters are wide, each letter thus standing out boldly and distinctly by itself. The Slope is gentle, but sufficient to prevent the pupil from acquiring a back hand. The Curves are well rounded, checking the tendency to too great angularity. The Writing is not cramped and confined, plenty of space being allowed for each word. The Words are spaced by perpendicular lines, and the lengths of the letters are indicated by horizontal lines in the early numbers of the series. These books are now printed in N.S.W. on paper which has been specially manufactured for the series, and is of unusually good quality. Price, 2d. each.
