Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beginnings of Writing
Dr. Hoffman, in The Beginnings of Writing, presents the first steps in this development especially as they are shown among North American tribes. Our native peoples made much use of reminders; they drew truly ex pressive pictures; they developed complicated systems of pictography, adequate even to the writing of real books; some peoples of Mexico and Central America Were passing from the use. Of ideograms to phonograms. This transition period is most interesting to the student.
