This theory book from the Spencerian Penmanship set was originally published in 1874, and republished in 1985 by Mott Media. It describes the teaching methods used in the days of beautiful penmanship, and it details the theory that Spencer thought should be in the mind of every pupil. Theory consists of the forms of letters and the method of making them from only a few basic strokes called "principles." Theory informs the mind and art trains the hand. For excellence in penmanship, the mind and the hand must work together.
