National Handwriting.
If individual character influence in
dividnal handwriting, national charac
ter should influence national handwrit
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art of the Italian, the
pride of the Spaniard, the vivacity of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their peumanship.
It may be so, but as a rule It would
take an expert or an enthusiast 'to toll
the difference between the writing of
the shrewd Scotchman,, the staid Eng
lishman and the lively irishman. Ger
man handwriting, however, is truly in
dicative of the national character; it
requires nearly as much patience to
lead it as to write it.
