"The Palmer Method of Business Writing" by A. N. Palmer is a self-help guide on penmanship written in the early 20th century. It provides a systematic approach to mastering practical writing skills, aimed primarily at young learners in both public and private educational settings, as well as individuals studying at home. The book emphasizes the cultivation of rapid, legible, and natural handwriting, focusing on techniques that promote ease, endurance, and individual style, contrasting sharply with traditional copy-book methods. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the foundational philosophy of the Palmer Method, which asserts that good handwriting can be achieved through proper physical techniques and consistent practice. Palmer critiques traditional education methods, positing that they stifle creativity and result in ineffective handwriting skills. He provides detailed instructions on posture, arm movement, and the importance of muscle memory, underscoring the necessity of practicing in a relaxed manner without mechanical constraints. The text sets the stage for a series of progressively challenging lessons that aim to develop both the technical ability and artistic expression necessary for effective business writing.
