Secretarial inscription

Different from a forgery, this is a copied signature of an author, or other notable, made with his or her knowledge (usually by a secretary or similarly empowered agent), but which is not from his or her own hand. This letter offered in our List 54, from Chang and Eng, the "Siamese Twins" who popularized the term, was handwritten and signed by their secretary.
