OR

SELF-INSTRUCTOR IN PENMANSHIP,

Is belleved to be superior to all others in the following particulars: in being SYSTEMATIC, GRADUAL, and COMPLETE in
FOUR NUMBERS; for its Business Style, combining in a higher degree LEGIBILITY and RAPIDITY, and in being far more
UNIFORM and ACCURATE; in the Ornamental Styles being more BEAUTIFUL, and, above all, to be SUPERIOR on account of

its

SCIENTIFIC

INSTRUCTIONS!

On the Positions and Movements, on the Elements, Laws, and Principles of Penmanship, given on the Covers and in the Lines of instruction, fu connection with each copy of the first two Books, with the FALSE COPIES and CRITICISMS, pointing out the Natural Defects of the Learner; together with such a COMPLETE ANALYSIS and DESCRIPTION OF EACH COPY, as to impart as nearly as possible a perfectly clear Conception of what is required.

The Instructions of the Series are its Great Value, and are so Radical and Critical as to be of the highest Practical Importance to both Teachers and Pupils.

PRACTICAL RESULTS OF THE SYSTEM.-We, the undersigned, Teachers in the Public Schools of Columbus, O., certify that Mr. RIDER'S SYSTEM OF PENMANSHIP has been used in our Schools the past year, and we feel free to state that never before have we been able to teach Writing so systematically and successfully, and never before have we seen in any Schools such general and decided improvement as our pupils have made since the introduction of this system.

Signed by the Principals-L. F. LEWIS, M, SEAVY, S. FINDLEY, G. H. HAMPSON, and all the TEACHERS WHO INSTRUÇT
IN WRITING.

From the recent Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Ohio, Columbus, June, 1863.
Having examined your System of Writing, and also having seen its practical workings in some of the Schools where it
is used, I am prepared to say almost any thing in its favor. It is a system of such superior merits as to deserve the attention
of Teachers and Educators in general.
Yours truly,
ANSON SMYTH.

From the President Board of Education, Columbus, O.

I have been through most of our Schools in this city and examined the specimens, and inquired into the progress of the
pupils in Penmanship, since the introduction of your "System of Writing," and I am not only entirely satisfied but highly
gratified with the progress made in that art by the pupils of the several Schools.
WILLIAM TREVITT, M. Ď.

From the Teacher of Penmanship in Chickering's Academy, Cincinnati.
Having taught Penmanship constantly during the past six years in several of the Academies and Seminaries of this city,
and having used Payson, Dunton & Scribner's System, for which I had a preference it was with some reluctance that f
undertook to teach Rider's System; but I soon found many rules and suggestions, which are invaluable to me even in
the use of Payson, Dunton & Scribner's; while the improvement made by those pupils who have used Rider's books has
been far superior to that attained by my former classes.

After an experience of six months I am fully convinced that pupils, aided by the instructions given in Prof. Rider's
Series, can progress more rapidly than by the use of any other System with which I am acquainted.

I regard his System of great value to both Teachers and Pupils, and as being the most thorough, practical and scientifle
work on the subject.
MISS ELLEN J. HOYT.

From the President of Granville Female College.

With some reluctance on the part of both Teachers and Pupils, "Rider's System of Penmanship" was introduced into
our Institution. But a trial of its merits shows that it is far superior to any other System with which I am acquainted.
Our Pupils made much more progress in Penmanship than heretofore in the same time.

The Mathematical relations pointed out in the elements as well as the letters; the illustrations of common errors upon a
line above the copy; and the numerous references to the copy, are valuable improvements which distinguish this System.
It will begin a great revolution in the manner of teaching Penmanship. It has my unqualified approval and I would
commend it to the favorable notice of Educators.
W. P. KERR.

From the Superintendent Public Schools, Granville, O.

Having used Rider's System of Writing in our Schools for two terms, I am prepared to give my unqualified approval of the
work, as being the most PRACTICAL, as well as the most scientific of any with which I am acquainted. Our pupils have
accomplished more in the six months we have used the Series than they formerly did in a year with either the Duntonian
or Spencerian Systems. I, therefore, most heartily recommend, to my fellow Teachers, and to others, the use of Mr. Rider's
System of Writing, in preference to all other systems.
I. M. CLEMENS.

Rider's System of Writing is being RAPIDLY INTRODUCED into many of our best Institutions.
