During the 1800′s, letters were sometimes writing using cross-writing to save paper. The Boston Public Library has been scanning letters written by Abolitionists prior to the American Civil War. Here is an example of a letter that shows two levels of cross-writing. However, it is written with a cursive slant so that the ascenders and descenders seem to form additional diagonal layers:

In 1890, Lewis Carrol wrote a booklet titled Eight or nine wise words about letter-writing where he warned against cross-writing:

My ninth Rule. When you get to the end of a note-sheet, and find you have more to say, take another piece of paper — a whole sheet, or a scrap, as the case may demand: but, whatever you do, don’t cross! Remember the old proverb ‘Cross-writing makes cross reading‘. “The old proverb?” you say, en-quiringly. “How old?” Well, not so very ancient, I must confess. In fact, I’m afraid I invented it while writing this paragraph! Still, you know, ‘old’ is a comparative term. I think you would be quite justified in addressing a chicken, just out of the shell, as ” Old boy ! “, when compared with another chicken, that was only half-out!
