DELAMOTTE. FIFTH EDITION- LONDON : LOCKWOOD AND CO., 7, STATIONERS' HALL COURT. 1863. PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. P S there are no works of Ancient Alphabets of any excellence published in I || 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 favourable 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 Fourth Edition within so short a period of the publication of the Third, 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 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 lias beec so liberally reviewed.
