Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But his invention had a quality in it which those inven tions lacked: it was capable of change, and through change was preserved.'

It is fundamentally a pictographic script much disguised.
