,,preface ,,to ,,the ,,fourth ,,edition4 ,as there are no works of ,ancient ,alphabets of any excellence published in a cheap form1 ,i have been induced1 after many years' study and research in my profession as a ,draughtsman and ,engraver1 to offer this collection to the favourable notice of the public1 trusting that its very moderate price and general usefulness will be a sufficient apology for the undertaking4 ,the demand for a ,fourth ,edition within so short a period of the publication of the ,third1 has convinced me in the most agreeable manner that it has been a work required by the public4 ,to render it still more worthy of their attention1 ,i have here introduced some additions1 likely to enhance the interest and increase the value of the pages1 as an indication of the esteem in which ,i have held the encouragement1 and the respect ,i have paid to the suggestions of the purchasers of this book1 and the critics by whom it has been so liberally reviewed4 ,,index4 ,,page
