Minor Queries.
_Handwriting._--I should be much obliged if any of your correspondents
could inform me (and that soon) whether there be published, in English,
French, German, or Spanish (though it is most desired in English), a manual
giving a standard alphabet for the various kinds of writing now in use,
viz. English hand, engrossing, Italian, German text, &c., with directions
for teaching the same; in fact, a sort of writing-master's key: and if so,
what is its title, and where it can be procured.
A friend believes to have seen such a work advertised in _The Athenaeum_
(probably three or four years ago), but has no recollection of the name.
