Description
A Century ago the science of handwriting study did not exist. A crude empiricism still prevailed. This hundred years past has seen a vast progress. All relevant branches of modern science have been brought to bear. Skilled students have focused upon this field manifold appurtenant devices and apparatus. A Science and an Art have developed. A Firm place has now been made for the expert witness who is emphatically scientific, and not merely empiric. Each age has its crimes, with the corresponding protective measures - all alike the product of the age's conditions. In each age, crime takes advantage of conditions, and then society awakes and gradually overtakes crime by discovering new expedients.
