Interesting article on tho "History of Writing,
In the last number of the Ifortti British Mevtew.
We quote a few passages:
. PHYSIOGNOMY or MANCOOWTS.
"In our day, when everybody writes for him
elf, and the lorm of writing Is lutle regarded,
there, if abuurtiiaco ot pnj-iioiinoiuy iu the
various hands; but uegiflot ot form prevents It
from touenmc upon tue borders of art. when
-writing was in lew bauds, and tho writers
were an order or a proleuMoo, they became more
or less connctouly, artists. Their calligraphy
had a history wnlcli Is truly a branch ol ttio
btstory ot art, and the chanees which
It underwent mast be attributed to
the workin? of some such art ln
etluct as that which letvla to novelty In
dress or In architecture. Iu these latter tho
type and ataudard oi beauty is subject to varia
tion, more trequeuily lit the one cate and more
Tartly iu the other; and 1u like mauner we nee
tn writing not metely an tndrjite variety, like
thut of physiognomy, winch Is duo no diubt tj
the luouite variations ol individual character;
tut we also see, as In the case of dress aud
ar.-httpcture, a succession ot BttiJirdi or types
of beauty which irom nine to timo make their
sppearuuee, win their way, extianui.-th some
lorruer type, culminate, andtheu sooner or later
retiie to make way lor the next intiovii'.iou.
"Tnero Is a eeueral and comprehensive sense
to start with, iu which the course ol iCniilUb. mo
liivval rmiiff crrci-poiidi to that of architec
ture. They both oecnpy the samespaceof titue;
they rise together and fill together. We lay uo
ptress on the term Uothic as upphed to bjth, ex
rept ai a testimony to the above tact; because
there ia no doubt that it was applied (o tho one
in consequence of Its companionship with
the oilier. Uothic characters were so called
fcin ply because thev were fouud to predomi
nate on Uothic monuments and iu Uotuic
imildiwrs. '1 he term (iothie, as applied to art, Is
Bind to have been started in derision by an Italian
writer of the sixteenth century. It so, It was a
moht oporoiirinie tiiaueunttou lor a word which
Was presently to staud lorth as the antithesis, in
yo many respects, of that which was Italian or
Jioniitn, or (more generally ) classic. It repre
sents in a trencral way the outerovth ol the
northern mind ot Europe, as opposed to that of
tue soiithrru. In philology and ethnology it
rompreheuds tho two preat subdivision! of the
Teu.ouicand Scandinavian laruilie., Irom whom
lias proceeded everything which has consti
tuted the distinction between the modern Euro
pe.;in civilization and that ot tne Kuraau empire.
Gothic architecture was a product of thi north,
Iierhaps of Normandy; but it nowhere had so
one a career, it nowhere was so thoroughly
douiettiea'cd, it penetrated the nooks and pious
of no country so, completely, as ot England,
(io'hic handwriting al-u was a northern taste,
wtilch developed la the north e.-t ol' Europe;
but in no country fii'l it psss through such a
eucceeciou ot delicate traueloruiations as iu this
country.
BLACK LETTER.
"Tlie main erand result, that of the black let
ter, is indeed common to many lands, in a form
a!int-t identical, This was throueu tho threat
coiuinerce ot literature which connected the
Universities of Europe, and which led to the
iio-sesj-iou of a common wiiting t h.irae.ter for
iturature. ThU is the character comuiouly
meant woen 'Gothic writing' is spoken ot, but
"We must vindicate thit expression as belonging
to the whole series ot varieties of the pointed
Btyle in penmanship. We only grant to the
lilack letter that it i.s 'the Uothio"' ;ar excpUerwe.
or the 'rfquare Gothic' or the 'Monkish Gothic.'
The float Kouiauce lauds of Italy ami Spain
never lost the roundues- uf their haiid, nlt'ioii;:!!
it was not qut.e unatfected by the itillueuce
of northern Europe. And it was this roundness
which at length rcturnel upon us with the
revival of tla-sic lore, and extiuguislie i our
native urchiicciuiv and huudwrittui; atths .-auie
time.
MEDIEVAL PEKMAVSHtP.
"The three volumes ol English historical
monuments, extending from the Conquest to the
jeitr 1'iUO, include thu entire period of that pe
culiar mcdimval style of penmanship, in which
there is t-o much to explore. At the opening of
the series (Vol. I., No. 1) we see the decline of
the stjle which preceded the Gothic a t-tyio
Which was, iu iact, n Briusii type ot Uoinati
esque. Atthcclo-eof the Third Part the last
lingering traces of tho Gothic are heing etfaueu.
Tiy the general preference lor the Italian hand,
sit the lime wheu the Uenais-aticH was chang
ing the lace of all things (Vol. III. Xo. XXV.
find No. LV.) The earliest specimens s ill be.
loiig to that round baud iu which tlin Anglo
Saxon uianuscrip s are written, an I whicu has
irom this circumstance been sometimes called
the Auelo-haxon character. But this n not a
pood (loittnntioii, because tho Irish, Scottish
and faxou manusctipts are all equally written
in this character, whe her tna contents are in
tho vernaculars or iu Latin.
"What gives interest to this style of writing is
the Iact that it is peculiar to the British Isles,
though not pcculuir to the Saxons. It is the
monument of that tntellecitijl dominion wh'ck
Ireland once eiercised over the lintiih I-d.s,
Mid w hich exteuded itself beyond our seas to
many pnrts ot the Continent. Tim type of
Laudwriting, whose origin we shall gl.iuca at
by and by, bemus to lose its cnaracter soon
alter the Conquest. Already in the two sh irt
ttaxon documeuts with which the present eerie
opens, we perceive a ereat declension from tue
bold round hand of the Saxou books. Hut in
iact it was not a meie decline; it was a change
in fabhion. The same king who ttrst imported
the use of the Itormau seals, imported also the
fa-hion of Norman wriiiug. Not without justice
lias Edward the Confess. r been styled by some
bistortaus the nrst of our Norman kings. The
change which Saxon nenmauship admitted lu
his day finds no parallel in our history, as a
foreign innovation, until the entrance ot tho
.Italian hand in the sixteenth century.
CUAt'URS IN TUE KEIGN OP UENKY IT.
'It is in the reign of IIury II that
the teudtiioy to seek beauty in a new direc
tion is clcwrly prouounced. Wo observe a
frtudicd aud delicate manipulation which
makes It plum that handwriting was become
a lancy. There Is a progressive clcgauce iu
the body of the writing, accompanied by au out

With a gentle flourish, like the delicate chapter of

exhibited in the present collection between

fill mievago, presect an admirable aud instruc

P5 4.jn tl)e prand hi8t)l.jCHj rnonumeut of
the Magna tuarta we are arrested by a change In
thestje; we recogulze a dcvelonment distinct
lrom that whku we have thus far traced. In
fact, we have stepped aside Into a separate
department ijf calieraphy. The object was to
fret a long document into the surface of a tingle
fciiect tf vellum j and lor tLiu purpose it was voir
dued nourish (not luxuriant ), un indulgence or
fantasy lu capital letters, but, more thau all an
cnla.ged widenin,, 0f Ulo li.e's-fhua redoubling
the eDect ol lighiuess nroci,.n,.rt '
the ordlrary business style of penmanship
which was adopted, bat tha, ot literature,
which naturally had preserved an archaic
manner, and which bar", learned the art ot
compression from th habit of dealing, with
large quantities of material. Hence the writing
ol Uagna Charts (1215) carric us ba k a
century or more, and indeed It is not very much
more modern than that ol Domesday. It is in
the. book text ot the day.
"At this poiat we are at the root of one. of the
chief aucs ot difficulty to tho stadentof medie
val writing. It all the varied forms which pre
sent themselves could bo cntnlnpuad in one
duect series, could ba arranged In a e ingle line
on the fame plane, as the variations ol archi
tecture may (with slight deflections tor locil
pccuiiwrity) be ai ranged, then it is probable
that the id'tory of wriMn.tr would have been
lonp aeo cleared up. But the tact is, that
there Is more than one stvle In use at one
time, to as to be distinct from each
other, yet not wi'hout blendimts aud
mutual inllueneep. The business band and
the literary hand having once established a sepa
rate existence, took their own several lines ot
development, along which they travelled at very
dillerent rates ol velocity. The one described a
short course, and performed it very slowly and
deliberately ; the other passed wt'h compilative
rap'dity through a lon succession of phass.
ho that in the middle ages, when there was but
one vay of multiplying books, namely, by the
pen, there existed two laslrons of written char- i
aetero, as distinct from each oiher as our pre-'
fent manuscripts ate from print. The one of;
these was cursive or runninghand, and wns used '
In business, and the other was reserved for lite
rature and the greater acts of diplomacy.
TnE FOURTEEN Til CENTURY.
"We may assume the middle of the fourteenth
century as the date by which the bl tck letter
had attained such maturity of form as was to
be attained with pen and ink. But another
Held lay before it, as we shnll presently evploiu.
It was the work not of the scribe, but of tho .
engraver, to bring this character to that clan
cut end delicately-tipped outlines which is tig
distinguishii g perfection. When Caxttn first ,
used a fount of Mack letter, in 1477, it had
already experienced a metallic development of
considerably more than a rcentury.
"Hwae in the lourteenth ceutury that this
cbarncier assumed Its dominant position as the
u.ost dicnlrted ot all forms of writing. In the
course ot this century it became the received
character for lanidarv inscriniions and the le
gends ol teals. At 1 lie beginning of the four- ;
tt-emn century this letter had not jet been put
to this use; at the close of the same century no
ether was recognized. Previous to this the
character cmplo.ved in epitaphs, seals, and coins
was the Lorn bardie cap. tat, which was lniro
duced about the time of. it not by, Aichbishop
Laufrnnc, the whilom Lombard lawyer. Tuis
tine round barbaric variation of the old Roman
uncial Is well known to the ece.lcsiologist in the
le'tering on the sioue colfin slabs lor that long
petiod during which the lending words were
ratter gist icy tlinu hirjarct. This period closed
in the fourteenth ceiitnry. In that century,
during which I'reuch yielded to English in
courts of law and in literature, and during,
which Latin took the place ot Erench in lapi
darv iuscriptious, it al-o bnppened that the
Gothic blue le.ter superseded the Lombardie
Roman, in epitaphs and tor the lettering oi fceub.
WBITIl'G OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
"The second volume of the National JISS. is
made up of select documents from the reigns of
Henry VIII and Ed ward VI, and for.ns a rich
body ol illustration for the hand writing used iu
this island and on the coutineut during the first
half of the sixticuth ceutury. The pieces here
given are, lor the most part, in the handwriting
ot persons who are laminar to up. There arc
letters and autographs ot Menry VIII. of Queen
Catherine. Mary Tudor, Cardinal iV'olsey, the
Emperor Charles V, yuc-eu Margaret and Jamei
V, ol Scotlaiid, Anne Boleyu, Craumer, Lati
mer, Catherine I'arr, Edward VI, Francis I,
l'rince I'hilip (afterwards Philip II, of (Spain),
Coi-nio de flledici, tho l'ruictsses .Mary au i
Elizabeth. Gustavus Vasn, Lady Jane Grey, and
other names ot the highe-t distinction in history.
' These docurrents have a manifold value for
the historical lnlormatiou they nllord, for the
light tlicy thro ,v on the English language, it
is not peibaps geucrally known how great, an l
even insuperable, are the dillictilties which
a tend the investigaUi-u ot the mother longuo ut
any date prior to the eighteenth ceutury.
Almost all the older books which are in our
hands have been so moulded in the trinsition
thut they ore utterly useless for the purposes of
philological study. The true Bible of loll is
one ot our most valuable monuments ot English,
but it is very imperfectly represented, speak
ing philoloL'ieally, by the current reprint
ot the authorized Bible. We do not say
this by way of re-echoing the blame
w hich some years ago was unjustly east upon
the privileged printers for the multitude of little
alterations which have been introduced without
authority Into the uuthor .ed Bible. The Ilible
of lull is pracncully for the bulk of the people
at this day, a book written in a dead language;
aid the minute reorint of that Bible some
twenty years ago, by the authorities ol the Ox
ford University Press, lormed a decisive ttu
swerto all such complaints. But the Iact re
mains, thut We have not in our Bible a b ioc
which carries us back to the English of 101 1.
Then, if we ea to !linkospoare, how very few
of the leaders of the nv.iouttl p.,et have ever
seeu a dozen liues written and spelt as he
wrote and spelt thetu! Until quite lately,
that is to say in lsil, when 11 r. B.iothgave us
his pretty reprint of the folio ol 1023, aud still
later, when i'ay & Sou brought out the hnud
luimi fae-simiie of the brst folio, executed in
photolithography (a portion ol whicn lolio was
copied by phoioziucography, as we understand,
ut the Ordnance Survey Oilice, Southampton),
the originul English of Shakespeare was abso
lutely inaccessible to the student who did uot
happen to live within reach ol one of the great
libraries. To tliis we may add furtte'r,' that
every extract that was made from a writer of
the slxteent a century, or earlier, was more or
less modified wlu u it assumed the lor in of a
quotation.
JPANKIsn HANDWRITING.
"The caligraphy ol tua Franks is not
much less distinct and characteiislic than that
ot the Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. And us the
one was called 'Saxon,' alter the loremost of
the races and natioiis which used this insular
st Ic, so the other is 'Erankish' only in a liKe
sense, as it was in fact the writing of the whole
northwest or (iothie part of the continent. The !
Cottonian nianusciipt of the lleinud,1 or old
Saxon Harmony of the Gosnels. is iu this hand.
The alphabet of this style is figured lu the
liiut volumes of Ilickes' 'Thesaurus,' in a pinto
prefixed to his Grammaica franco- Iheulisc t.
This Is tlie peumauiihip of the whole old tligli
Gel man literature. This Franki.-h writiug was
in nearer relationship lo Rome thsn win tin
Suxon. The true distioct on wjtild perhaps be
that the Eraukikh drew its descent from I'.mal
Home, and the Saxon irom Impel ial Rome. Tiie
l'ruuki-h handwrniiig uuderwent in the tenth
century a sensible modification, which made
it more Roman iu its character. This change
took place about that juncture in history ut
which we cease to talk of Franks and -Gauls,
and begin to speak ot the 'French.' ltcorres
j ends to the use ol the Capetian dvna.sty. Ae
cordicgly the 1 rench writing of the tenth aud
eleventh centuries used to be styled 'Capetian,'
atd by that nutne it goes in Astle. Modern
paheographer have called it Ludoviciau,' after
those two Ludovici, viz: Louis le Gros aud Louis
le Jeune, who pretty nearly parcel out tue
eleventh century between them. Perhaps tho
former name is truer to chronology, inasmuch
as the style was atrcaay ioruieu m the tenth,
century.
We are loth to close the studies Into which
we have beeu led by thee important publica
tions of the Orduauce Survey Oilice, without
reiterating our couviciion that they have iu
them the seeds of dlseovciie valuable even tor
advanced history, and that they possess withal
a general attiuctlveness which will tend to
diffuse historic tate6 and to enlarge tho
history loving public. We are glad to leat u
that preparations aro making tor a secoud
volume of the Scottish manuscripts, and that
the tourth ol the English is nearly all iu print.
We hore that the tenes will by and by bo
rendered complete by a selection from the ftreirf
examples ot our insular pre-Ludovician pen
manuhip, An Irish setieg would alford special
opportunities for the attainment of this result.
TUC Irish, Bcvtittu, aud AulQ-3iuoa CfiuTCll i

THE FUTUIIE OF AWYSSIMA.
lBtritl Despatch from Sir Kabtrt
Naplar.
From tfie London Telegraph, June 29.
8 . melmooi tint correspondence with the Com-mauder-in
Chief of the Abyssinian Expedition
has beeu paolished to-dav. It includes a des
patch Irom Sir R. Napier to the Secretary of
btaie for India, received on the l'.ith instant,
dated from the Commander lu Chiel'i
Office, rolnical Department, Camp Dil lee, 30th
Apiil. Sir R. Napier reverting to the. events
which took (dace at Magdala and in its neigh
borhood, writes:
"Anxious as I felt to abstain from further in
terference tn Abyjpintan affairs alter the object
of the txpcdiuou had been attained, yet it was
nceestary, f ,r tho sake of our national credit,
that due consult ration should be shon for tue
largs numbers whoso interests and gaiety had
centcted in Theodore's existence, aud who re
maiued disarmed and unprotected, an I expo-ed
to merciless plunder and slaughter at the bail Is
ot the wild tribes which circuuisii.nces had lor
the iiiomeut converted into our allies. The dis
posal ot the fortress of Masdula ttret demanded
attention. This strong position is situated geo
graphically in the country of the Wollo Gillas,
from whom it was finally wrested by
Theodorus about ten years ago. In his
hands it has imposed an effectual check
upou the eucroachuieuls of the Gullas on Chris
tian Abyssinia. 1 deslied, lu the iuterests of
Christianity, to place the stronghold in the pos
session oi Wagsbooiu Oot'azcb, the de pic'o
ruler and principal chiel of this portion of Abyg
stnin. - But when I had sent for his lieutenan',
the Bnjaz Mashashah, the latter excuse J him
self, la his master's name, from accepting the
challenge, alleging as his reason that It would
require so large a garrison to hold it that it
w ould be a source of weakness rather thin of
strength. Wagshooni Goba.eh himself, not
withstanding his repeated iuvitatious to us,
through Brigadier-General Merewether, C. B.,
to come quickly to his aid, had removed himsclt
and his army to a distant quarter before our
arrival, in pursuit ol objects ot his own, and it
was impossible lor me to await a reply
to the letter which 1 addressed to him
on the . subject of Magdala. I therefore de
stroyed the gates of the ion, burned everything
on the mountain that was combustible, and
abandoned it. Several cluimauts tor its posses
sion had, iu the meant iuie, addressed me re
garding it. due ot these was tho Chief of
Oaoont, a small territory lying adjacent to Mag
dala. Werkait, one of the two rival queens of
the Gullas, bud a'so put lorsard her claims, as
likewise bud Masteeat, the other and rcore
powerful ot the Galia Queens. At tlie time
when the disposal ot Magdala was thus exciting
so many hopes and desires, the widowed Queen
ot Thtodoie aLd her sou were brought down iu
eaiety Irom the mountain, and placed within
the protection ot my camp; the removal of the
disarmed garrison aud release of the native
prisoners was at the same time in proarc-s.
Miortly alter the priival of Werkait's letter
folicltit g that the lortress might be delivered to
her, the lady presented herself at my
pickets. Although It was evening, she was im
mediately admitted loan iuterview, and allowed
to i'"ptcsent tier claim. She was gieutly af
fected in revisiting a locality which had been as
sociated with so many misfortunes to her family
and people, bhe remarKed to me: "We lought
with Theodore as long as we could, and when
his power was too strong for us to re.-i.st any
longer, my son submitted to him, on receiving a
prom.se of good treatment ; notwithstanding
which he was iubumanlv cut to pieces and
thrown over the precipice of Magdala; and no.v
1 have come to see the grave of my enemy The
odore, and the place where my sou fell." At this
time the oiler of the fortress had been m.-nle to
Gobazeh's liculerant, and his auswer had uot yet
brcu leceivcd. Magdala was still the scene of
militiny operutious, while our troops were en
gnjed in destroying Theodore's cauueu, and the
exodus ot its former inhabitants continued in
full prourc-s. Thereiore it whs not thought
expement that Werkati's wish to a'Cend the
mountain should be indulged at such a time.
Almost belore her story wa9 concluded, intima
tion was received that her rival Masteeat was
also in the neighboihood, aud ou her way to
otier her congratulations and submit her claim.
At lirst I hoped to be able to make peace be
tweeu tbete two rival Queens; but when this
was hinted at to Werkait she said: "When to
persons are striving for a cron, how cau peace
be made between them? If Masteeat were to
make pence with me to-day, beiore jou, she
would httrav tne ie morrow." The news of Ma
tcetit 's approach caused great uneasiness amongst
Weikait's escort and adherents; and after a
second Interview with me, during which she
exhibited symptoms of much distress, she look
a hasty departure, apprehensive lest she should
be intercepted by her more power.ul and more
iortunate itval; more fortunate because her sou
is alie, and the centre of tte hopes ol a lirue
body of the people; while to poor Werkait
there rt mains only the memory o( her 60i,
ho treacherously slam by Theodore. Sunn
able presents Were made to her, us she took
her leave; and sLoitly after her departure,
Masteeat arrived with her sou, Atuau
Ahmad, and exoiessed no small gratitude
and rejoicing at Theodore's fall. She had re
sponded very effectually to our request to close
all avenues by which the late king could have
escaped, and thus she came to us in the charac
ter ot an established ally. To her request lor
the possession ot Magdala, I was able to auswer
that, Gobazeh's lieutenant having declined to
receive it, j would ab'.indon ihe place, alter dis
mantling it and burning all of it that could be
so destroyed, as a mark ot the auger of the
British at the ill treatment of our countrymen,
us well us ot our ubhorreiico of the cruelties
which Theodore had commlt'.ed there. To
tins the Queen replied that, indeed,
nothing but tire could purify it. On
my usking her if she could make pence
with Werkait, she nuswered that the would
gladly do o. but that it was impossible; becau-e
if Wei knit were to 6 rear friendship ou the
Koran itself to-tlay, she would violate her oa'h
to-morrow. A list ot the principal political
ptisoneis liberated by us on.our occupation of
Miifjoalais appended. An opportunity was taken
of receiving allot' them who desired an iuter
view with me, aud advice suitable to their
eeveial circumstances was then tendered to
them. Booroo Gooshoo, the Prluce ot Godjani,
was the first who was introduced. He bore in
his euleebled Irame the marks of fourteen
years spent in captivity. It is probable thut
Godjam, which has genernlly formed a sepa
rate principality, will now become subject to
this chief. The' Prince of Euderta, who is the
maternal uncle of the preeut - ruler of
'ligreti, was next presented lo me. He left
the iollowlng day tor tho court of his rela
tive, Dajosmaj Kassa. Wugshootn Tirorri, who
is said by somo to be in reality the hereditary
Prince of Wag, was then introduced, and after
wards other chiefs of leser note. The widov
of Theodore and her numerous attendants still
r main, as it were, the puebts of our camp, and
will probably travel with us as fur us the nearest
point in our loute to the lady's i.ative district of
Semian. Her severe illness during the p'tst tPn
days has pteveuted my seeinir her; but I ttisc
she is now recovering under the care of tlie
medical oflicer attached to my stall, who has
been detailed by mo to provide for her comfort.
Translation is appended of a proclamation
which I have thought it ritht to issue to tho
chiefs and people ol this portion oi Abyssinia ut
the present time.
An explosion of anitro-glycerlne mannfaci
torj, in the neighborhood of Stockholm, has
been announced. Fourteen persons lost their
lives, and the laboratory, with its valuable
apparatus, the manager's house, and a small
adjoining workshop, were totally destroyed.
In the city most of the windows were broken,
and within a circle of three miles the violent
cpumiotioa of the ai was ditlnotly felt.

overtasked energies, I was Induced by you (au
old li lend) lo take as a Tonlo your celebrated
Bitter Cordial; and so agreeably surprising
bave been lta tienefllnl effects, that 1 cannot
refrain Irom thus bearing testimony tit its
favor. Asabeverage.lt Is as pleasant and de
)lhtfu)HM a glass of rich dark-brown Snerry;
as an appetizer before meals, perfect ly magical,
and as a digester of food, tbe most potent com
pound lever knew. Altogether, I consider It
one of tlie bapplest combinations of medicinal
herbs evt r oliered to tbe public as a cnratlve.
1 most cheerfully and confidently recommend
It to every sufferer from Debility, Dyspepsia,
and Rheumatism. As a substitute for tbe vll
lanous alcoholic and vinous concoctions im
bibed at too many of tbe publlo bars of the pre
sent day, It must also prove a blessing.
