Got a spare half hour this weekend? Want to know more about yourself? Then have a look at William L. French’s 1922 The psychology of handwriting — complete with illustrations!

Are you a tea drunkard? French can tell from the downstroke of your cursive hand. Could you be a good salesman? If your handwriting is firm, confident, and rather small, French thinks yes. And don’t hope to escape if you take pleasure in deceiving others: French can tell from the height of your letters.

Flip through the pages of French’s book below or follow this link to read The psychology of handwriting. As always, for more from the Medical Heritage Library, please visit our full collection!
