Example Sentences

Any one who can use a pen with his right hand is not long in acquiring the faculty of mirror writing with his left.

On the other hand, the first attempt of the left to make mirror writing to order is frequently laborious.

This mirror-writing has been often observed in subjects who write automatically; the cause for it is still to be found.

This is the so-called "mirror writing," which appears correct if seen in a mirror.
