Clean internals. 160 pp 8vo. From Egyptian picture writing to the modern alphabets, here is the story of the relayed word that touches the high spots in a manner that not only leads to a fascinating subject but to readable scholarship as well. In this book the author fully describes the evolution of Egyptian picture writing and Babylonian cuneiform with its vowel syllables, setting them in relation to the social and physical forces which created them and to recent archaeological data that has illuminated their meanings. With a fine sense of transition, the story moves then to the Phoenician alphabet, the Greek and Roman and the final slow establishment of modern letter symbols and the remarkable facility with which man can present ideas through them.

A clean very presentable copy.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. The Viking Press Explorer Books edition of Michael Faraday's celebrated series of six lectures explaining the chemistry and physics of a burning candle. Edited with a preface and notes by William Crookes, with a new introduction by Keith Gordon Irwin and reproductions of the original 35 diagrams.

First published from lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, the work became a classic of Victorian popular science and remains admired for Faraday's ability to make complex scientific ideas understandable through an ordinary object.
