however,  from  Phmaicia.  When  ibe  alphabet  of  this
country  waa  first  brought  in,  its  use  may  have  been
exii'emely  limited ;  it  may  have  come  in,  as  Kiu|bt
supposes,  with  the  first  Pelasgic  settlers,  who  nay  have
brought  an  alphabet  mueh  leas  perfect,  and,  tberefere,
probably  more  ancient  than  the  so-called  Cadnwm.
The  second  tntroductioii  of  letters  found  the  Greeks,
in  all  likelihood,  much  more  advanced  m  ririliiaripa,
and  it  therefore  took  *  firmer  hold,  and  beeame  the  sub-
ject of  more  established  and  general  tradition.  (Con-
