CUNEIFORM CHARACTERS.
It is to be regretted that the subject of Ogham writing has not been taken up by a careful and competent hand.[[161]] There are few people who have not found out some method of recording their history, and there are few subjects of deeper interest than the study of the efforts of the human mind to perpetuate itself in written characters. The Easterns had their cuneiform or arrow-headed symbols, and the Western world has even yet its quipus, and tells its history by the number of its knots.
