  An English compendium of ink formulas; published
  in 1693; calls attention to many formulas for black
  inks as well as gold; silver; and the colored ones; no
  comment; however; is made in respect to any particular
  one being better than another as to permanency;
  and these conditions would seem to have continued for
  nearly a century later; though the art of handwriting
  was making giant strides。
  It is a remarkable fact that notwithstanding the numerous
  devotees to that art which included many of
  the gentler sex; reproductions of whose skill in 〃Indian〃
  ink are to be found engraved in magnificent
  publications; both in book and other forms; there is no
  mention in them or in any others included within this
  period about the necessity of using any other DURABLE
  ink for record or commercial purposes。
  As indicative in some degree of the progress of the
  art of handwriting and handwriting materials; commencing
  A。 D。 1525 and ending A。 D。 1814; I present
  herewith a compilation of the names of over one hundred
