tranquility of
temperament. When the full stops are fashioned after the form of a comma
and droop towards the right hand they indicate a tendency to sulkiness.
When they are merely angular we may infer impatience and a "peppery"
disposition.

Flourishes are always indicative of a certain amount of assertiveness.
The simpler the flourish the less artificial this self-insistence; the
more elaborate, the greater the desire to seem what one is not.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HANDWRITING.

Most of the works in this list relate to that aspect of the study of
graphology which is supposed to bear upon the manifestations of
character. But there is not one which the student of handwriting can
afford to ignore, since, apart from the debatable question of character
reading, they all contain numerous hints and observations of extreme
value to the student whose objective is the acquisition of aptitude in
the more practical art of detecting forgery.
