"To ladies and gentlemen who are not in the habit of devoting themselves practically to the science of penmanship, writing a letter is no very easy task; it being always considered necessary in such cases for the writer to recline
his head on his left arm, so as to place his eyes as nearly as possible on a level with the paper, while glancing sideways at the letters he is constructing, to form with his tongue imaginary characters to correspond.
These motions, although unquestionably of the greatest assistance to original composition, retard in some degree
the progress of the writer . . ."
Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
