This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. THE CONSONANTS. B. The account to be given of this sign may be long; for, as it constitutes the principal part of the auxiliary verb to he, it will necessarily suggest several observations, and probably some new etymologies relating to this important word; and as nothing deserving of particular notice during such an inquiry should be lightly treated, digressions of some length, before our noticing in regular order the other consonants, appear inevitable. As the first form of A, a, or a was O I, as I have shown, so must it have been (the two signs having changed places) the first form of B also, which is composed of an I and an O, the latter being thus modified, 3; that is to say, it is the O divided in two. The parts composing B did, therefore, previously to their having coalesced, stand thus, I 3, apart from each other; and as the I is here but explanatory of the other part (3), the latter must, by itself, have long served for B. And for the reason that this earliest form of B is an O divided in two, we should regard it as a vestige of the old alphabet, which must have been composed of circles and segments of circles. Other vestiges of this alphabet may be discovered by giving to this ancient form of B, that is to 3, other positions. When it is, for instance, put thus rn, it is an M; and when put thus Uj, it is a W; and when thus, it is an E. Even in S, it is easy to perceive the same sign, the upper and the lower part of this letter being each the half of an O. Let us now take advantage of this knowledge, and see to what it will lead. When we regard this second part of B, that is 3, as but a different form of S, we perceive that B is composed of I and S, so that it is the word IS, which is an inflection of the verb...
