, 63. ] III IDENTIFICATION OF THE HANDWRITING The style of handwriting of the letter, as seen in the facsimile, is notin this writer's opinion, from a familiarity of thirty years with oldscripts, apart from the disguise, the hand that an educated person wouldwrite at the time, but is essentially a commonplace and, no doubtintentionally, rather slovenly style of handwriting. The use of small"i's" for the first person seems, in view of modern usage, to suggest anilliterate writer; but educated wr...iters, even the King, [12] thenoccasionally lapsed into using them. In the letter, however, they areconsistently and may have been purposely used, to avert suspicion frombeing the work of an educated person; though an illiterate appearancewould rather cause such a letter (if genuine) to be disregarded, than todeter a nobleman from attending the opening of Parliament, for whichleave or licence was required. The handwriting has been variously ascribed, but the direction of thisinquiry is indicated by the incautious admission made by Sir EdwardCoke, the Attorney-General at the trial, respecting the real manner inwhich the plot was discovered.
