PREFACE.
S there are no works of Ancient and Modern 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 favorable 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 Second Edition within so short a period of the publi-
cation of the first, 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.
F. DELAMOTTE.
