Extract

In the Calcutta Review of 1877, I published an Essay on the Phenician Alphabet, which was reprinted in Series I of my “Linguistic and Oriental Essays,” 1880. In the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1884, I published an Essay on the Origin of the Indian Alphabet, which was reprinted in Series II of my “Linguistic and Oriental Essays,” 1887. As further light has been thrown upon the subject in the years, which have elapsed since 1877 and 1884, I return to this difficult, but interesting, subject, treating each branch of it separately.
