An Excerpt:
"As there are no works of Ancient Alphabets of any excellence published in a cheap form, I have endeavourer 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.
In addition to the Ancient Alphobets, several original designs, with an analysis of the Roman and Old English, Large and Small Characters and Numerals are given which, I trust, will be found to be of great importance to the student."
