PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. s there are no works of Ancient Alphabets of any excellence published in 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 in 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 has been so liberally reviewed.
