wridon, Including vownla, came to
have i!4 letters. They nlno chang-
tho direction of writing. . The
Phoenicians wrote from right to
eftt the Oreeks adopted the left
it. There have been widely diver
gent theories an to this. , It has
been variously HUggested that the
2'i characters were adopted from
the hieroglyphics and the hieratic
writing of Kgyptj the cuneiform
characters of llabyton, and sym
bols of the Hlltltes, Cretans, and
ancient (Ireeks. No evidence ho
far found seems sufficient to de
termine this matter. Probably the
most generally accepted theory Ih
that the Phoenicians, familiar be
cause of their trading voyages with
tho various cumbersome .writing
systems around tho Mediterranean,
chose from them such symbols as
they needed, stripped off the com
plications, and slmpliricd writing
for the first time to u nearly true
alphabetic basis.'

to have been urged to tills step by
the desire' to conserve time in
keeping their accounts nnd records
of trading ventures. It Is to the

some IlOfto years ago. therefore,
thati Ihe world probably owes the
device (hat has made possible the

continuing activities of civilisation.
