Zaner and Bloser in The Zanerian Theory of Penmanship, 1894, page 166: "Nearly all defenders of the slope systems said they never put much stress upon slant, and that they did not consider it of much importance. Yet, in the next breath, they would attempt to argue against anything that did not agree with 52°, and proclaim it "un-American." Whereas, anyone at all familiar with the literature of penmanship, knows that slant has been considered a very essential element in good writing; so much so that teachers have been known to quibble for hours at a time as to the relative merits of fifty-one or fifty-two degrees - a portion of a circle so small that not one out of one hundred could distinguish it with the eye unaided by a rule."
