From the Technical Drawing Series: A Text-Book of Free-Hand Lettering (Illustrated - Revised and Enlarged Edition). A detailed text-book with illustrations on how to do free-hand lettering. From the preface, "There is repeated insistence in the text that lettering belongs in the realm of design. If the work is approached with this idea, it will be done with pleasure, and with a sense that it is a means of expressing individuality. The definite examples and exercises for practice constitute a complete minimum course, which can easily be extended by those who can give additional time to the subject."
