This guide is intended to cover the various types of writing found in registers, wills and other archive material back to the 16th century – the real writing, not the neat clerical hand which should have been used, but the pitchfork dipped in manure scrawl of the average parish clerk or country scrivener. All the examples of letter are culled form a lifetime's experience of tackling all sorts of documents all over the country. 24pp., Booklet, 5.5" x 8.5", 1995.
