The chirography was the same as that upon the note of the racing-car episode. ❋ Eustace Hale Ball (N/A)
The chirography is a beautiful and curious specimen. ❋ John Hill (1884)
The chirography was the fashionable "long English;" the diction was good, and the orthography faultless. ❋ Marion Harland (1876)
Ong succeeds in creating an accessible outline of the major transitions in human thought from orality to chirography (manuscripts), from chirography to typography (with the widespread use of the printing press), and the resurgence of some aspects of orality in modern electronic communication (both personal and mass-market). ❋ Unknown (2009)
Javert wrote these lines in his calmest and most correct chirography, not omitting a single comma, and making the paper screech under his pen. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It was written in the most charming of chirography, thought Cosette; in the same hand, but with divers inks, sometimes very black, again whitish, as when ink has been added to the inkstand, and consequently on different days. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Would ye ken a young stepschuler of psychical chirography, the name of Keven, or (let outers pray) Evan Vaughan, of his Posthorn in the High Street, that was shooing a Guiney gagag, Poulepinter, that found the dogumen number one, I would suggest, an illegible downfumbed by an unelgible? — ❋ Unknown (2006)
When first we had seen it we had gazed upon a sea of radiance pierced with lanced forests, swept with gigantic gonfalons of flame; we had seen it emptied of its fiery mists — a vast slate covered with the chirography of a mathematical god; we had seen it filled with the symboling of the Metal Hordes and dominated by the colossal integrate hieroglyph of the living City; we had seen it as ❋ Unknown (2004)
She has a beautiful white hand, but her handwriting is infamous; she writes fast and her chirography is of the door-plate order — her letters are immense. ❋ Unknown (2003)
The chirography was labored, heavy and trembling; it betrayed the stiff hand of a man more accustomed to guiding the plough than the pen. ❋ �mile Gaboriau (2003)
An expert at chirography would doubtless have distinguished in the lines traces of a violent temperament, of a character stern and unsocial. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Then, with sparkling eyes, she wrote, in a prim hand, trying to match the chirography of the remote Jonathan Croyden, Gent. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard capitals. ❋ Unknown (2002)
This envelope had the air of an official record of some period long past, when clerks engrossed their stiff and formal chirography on more substantial materials than at present. ❋ Unknown (2002)
Yet carrying this journey through the labyrinth of chirography to that end seemed a profligate expenditure of his time. ❋ George, Elizabeth (1996)
He seemed normally dexterous in everything else, but he wrote with his left hand -- an angular, upright chirography which, Louise thought, showed unmistakably that he was unfamiliar with the use of the pen. ❋ James A. Cooper (N/A)
Shakspere's chirography was almost as variable as his mind, and when he sat down to compose plays for the Globe and Blackfriars theatres, in his room adjacent to the Miter Tavern, he dashed off chunks of thought for pressing and waiting actors and managers, piecing them together like a cabinet joiner or machinist. ❋ John A. Joyce (N/A)
Within, the personality of the absent composer lingers perceptibly, and the two names -- "Edward -- Marian-1899" -- written in his bold chirography in the damp cement, when the cabin hearth was laid before the open fireplace, tell a touching story of a union so real as to make no plan complete, no realization of a long-cherished hope perfect, that did not openly include his wife. ❋ Elizabeth Fry Page (N/A)
_Haud inexpertus loquor, _ having for many years written myself J.P., and being not seldom applied to for specimens of my chirography, a request to which I have sometimes too weakly assented, believing as I do that nothing written of set purpose can properly be called an autograph, but only those unpremeditated sallies and lively runnings which betray the fireside Man instead of the hunted Notoriety doubling on his pursuers. ❋ Various (N/A)
