WRITING. The act of forming by the hand letters or characters of a
particular kind on paper or other suitable substance, and artfully putting
them together so as to convey ideas. It differs from printing, which is the
formation of words on paper or other proper substance by means of a stamp.
Sometimes by writing in understood printing, and sometimes printing and
writing mixed.
2. Many contracts are required to be in writing; all deeds for real
estate must be in writing, for it cannot be conveyed by a contract not in
writing, yet it is the constant practice to make deeds partly in printing,
and partly in writing. Wills, except nuncupative wills, must begin writing,
and signed by the testator; and nuncupative wills must be reduced to writing
by the witnesses within a limited time after the testator's death.
3. Records, bonds, bills of exchange and many other engagements, must,
from their nature, be made in writing, See Frauds, statute of; Language.
