for_o the_o depth_n of_o your_o stroke_n you_o be_v to_o engrave_v but_o take_v this_o experiment_n in_o your_o first_o beginning_n learn_v to_o carry_v your_o hand_n with_o such_o a_o slight_a that_o you_o may_v end_v your_o stroke_n with_o as_o light_v a_o stroke_n as_o you_o begin_v it_o and_o though_o you_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o have_v one_o part_n deep_o or_o black_a than_o another_o do_v that_o by_o degree_n and_o that_o you_o may_v the_o more_o distinct_o do_v it_o observe_v your_o stroke_n that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o close_a nor_o too_o wide_a and_o for_o your_o more_o
