CHARACTERS and HANDWRITINGS
by Emile Caille

CHARACTERS and HANDWRITINGS  is one of those truly original works which widen and enrich its subject immeasurably. It broke new ground for the science of graphology and its influence is felt wherever the subject is studied.

This is the first time that a serious effort has been made to translate Emile Caille's book as a whole. The British Academy of Graphology, established in 1985, has taken on its shoulders, through its publishing arm, Scriptor Books, the burden of bringing classical works of graphology to an English-speaking public starved of source books.

This translation, most ably undertaken by Alex Tulloch, a graduate of the Academy, will allow graphologists access to seminal works, to study for themselves, without the intervening gloss of commentators, what Emile Caille himself had to say on the subject of characterology in handwriting.

He was a psychologist who practised and taught graphology for over 40 years. His aim was to establish a closer link between psychology and graphology and also a scientifically viable basis for the latter.
It was because of his links with René le Senne, the French philosopher and psychologist, that he became interested in the subject of characterology, which enquires into the foundations of personality. Le Senne entrusted to him the task of applying characterology to graphology, with the results which we have described.
