PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

P S there are no works of Ancient Alphabets of any excellence published in

I||

a cheap form, I have been induced, after many years' study and research in

my profession as a Draughtsman and Engraver, to offer this collection to

/(| the favourable notice of the public, trusting that its very moderate price

and general usefulness will be a sufficient apology for the undertaking.

The demand for a Fourth Edition within so short a period of the

publication of the Third, has convinced me in the most agreeable manner

that it has been a work required by the public. To render it still more,

worthy of their attention, I have here introduced some additions, likely to

enhance the interest and increase the value of the pages, as an indication of

the esteem which I have held the encouragement, and the respect I have

paid to the suggestions of the purchasers of this book, and the critics by whom it lias beec

so liberally reviewed.
