Book Description

Excerpt from The Psychology and Physiology of Mirror-Writing Clapham18 believes that abduction is the more convenient movement for writing. He studied a child who could write with the left hand almost equally well in three styles - namely, mirrorwise (the style first learned), rightwards (as she was made to write in school), and with alternate lines in opposite directions (when she was absent-minded). He sees a parallel between this case and the history of writing, which was left wards in the earliest Greek and Etruscan period, later plough wise, and finally rightwards.
