PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

paid to the
so liberally

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

suggestions of the purchasers of this book, and the critics by whom it has been

reviewed.
