Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Path of the Alphabet: An Historical Account of the Ancient Beginnings and Evolution of the Modern Alphabet
More universal interest and importance than those which are revealing the origin and his tory of letters; this, not alone for the historic values of these discoveries, for their illumina tion of a past of which hitherto there was but a faint conception; but also for what letters have to tell us in explanation or confirmation of Biblical narrative, of their bearing upon our most sacred beliefs.
