A Visual Guide to Reading Secretary Hand

£4.95

Description

Secretary hand is a difficult form of handwriting to read. You will come across it in key documents necessary for your research – parish registers, wills, hearth tax – anything created before the early 1700s. It can be daunting and off-putting. In this Really Useful Guide the author uses images of words taken from contemporary documents providing examples actually written in the era. Even the cover is an actual document – not an AI creation! The key points for identification are given, letter by letter, providing a detailed explanation. This book is a different concept to some on the market as it uses contemporary examples and examines them word by word and letter by letter. It is as easy as ABC!The guide is designed to lie flat when open, so that you can easily compare items. Keep it beside you while transcribing – it will really help you to crack secretary hand.
