Download or read book The Story of the Alphabet Classic Reprint written by Edward Clodd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Alphabet IF this little book does not supply a want, it fills, however imperfectly, a gap; for the only work in the English language on the subject Canon Isaac Taylor's History of the Alphabet - is necessarily charged with a mass of techni cal detail which is stifl' reading even for the student of graphiology. Moreover, invaluable and indispensable as is that work, it furnishes only a meagre account of those primitive stages of the art of writing, knowledge of which is essential for tracing the development of that art, so that its place in the general evolution of human inventions is made clear. Prominence is therefore given to this branch of the subject in the following pages. In the recent reprint of Canon Taylor's book no reference occurs to the important materials collected by Professor Flinders Petrie and Mr. Arthur j. Evans in Egypt and Crete, the result of which is to revolutionise the old theory of the source of the Alphabet whence our own and others are derived. This opens up a big ques tion for experts to settle; and here it must sufiice to present a statement of the new evi dence, and to point out its significance, so that the reader be not taken into the troubled atmosphere of controversy. That he may, further, not be distracted by footnotes, references to the authorities cited are printed in the text.
