PREFACE. 


The  formality  of  a  preface  may  seem  scarcely  necessary  for 
the  supplementing  of  a  system  as  simple  and  comprehensible  as 
the  one  herewith  presented. 

We  have  but  to  divide  any  surface  we  may  wish  to  letter 
into  squares  (or  parallelograms  as  the  case  may  be),  in  pencil 
lines  ;  form  the  required  letters,  in  ink  or  paint,  and  accord- 
ing to  the  style  chosen  ;  erase  the  pencil  lines,  and  the  lettering 
is  complete.  J.  H.  C.
