Understanding  Colonial Handwriting
Harriet Stryker-Rodda
Handbook is in new  condition. Below is a description per the publisher.
In genealogical research it is all very well to      locate original records, but to read them correctly is another matter      altogether. Few people know this better than Harriet Stryker-Rodda who,      after years of experience searching through colonial records, has developed      a simple technique for reading colonial handwriting. In this handy little      book, Mrs. Stryker-Rodda presents examples of colonial letter forms and      script, showing the letter forms in the process of development and marking      the ways in which they differ from later letter forms. She also provides a      comparison of English and American handwriting and examples of name forms      and signatures all to bear out her central thesis, that the reader must find      meaning in a group of symbols without needing to see each letter of which      the whole is composed. This excellent guidebook is indispensable in dealing      with the problems of reading and interpretation.
