[How to Read Character in Handwriting ⁂]
BY MARY H. BOOTH
This work is authoritative, interesting, and so popular as to appeal to everyone. Since the earliest days science has recognized the fact that handwriting is an index of character and placed reliance on the deductions from it. Criminals have been punished and accused men set free on the strength of a scrap of handwriting. Knowledge of this interesting science is imparted in a simple but thorough manner in this new work by a recognized expert, and will prove of great value not only as a source of entertainment, but of business men, lawyers, students, bankers and collectors of autographs.
