THE INVENTION OF pUNCTUA-
TlON.


Punctuatloni Is peculiar % the modern
languages Of Europe. II was wholly un.
known to the Greeks aud Romans; and
the languages of the East, although they
have certain marks or signs to indicate
tones, have M regular system of punc,ua~
iion. The Romans and the Greeks also,
il is true, had certain points, which, like
those Of the languages Of tile East, were
confined To the delivery and pronuncia-
lion OF words; but the pauses were indi-
Gated by breaking up the written matter
shnto lines or paragraphs, not by marks
resembling those ia the modern system oi
punctuation. Hence, In the responses Of
the ancient oracles, which were generally
written down by the priests and delivered
TO the inquirers, the ambiguity, doubtless
Intentional. which the want OF puDctua-
tion involved. saved the credit of The
oracle, whether the expected event was
favorable or unfavorable' As an instance
Of this kind. may be cited that remarkable
response, which Was given on well
known occasion, when the oracle was
consulted with regard TO the success nf a
certain military expedition: 'Ibis ct retli-
bis nunquani peribis in bello.' Written,
as 1t was. without being pointed, IL might
be translated either, Thou shalt go, and
shalt never return, thou shalt perish in
battle;' or, "'Ihou shalt so and retnr i,
thou shalt never perish in battle The
correct translation oft altogether de-
pends on the placing ofa comma afther
the word nufQuam, or after redibis The
iayention of the modern system of pune
tSalion has been attributed to The Alexan.
drian grammarian Aristophancs, after
whom il WAS improved By succeeding
grammarians; but il was so entirely lost In
tile time Of Charlenagne that he found IL
necessary to have il restored by Warne-
fried and Alcuin. II consisted, at first,
OF only one point, used In three ways, and
sometimes Of a stroke, formed in several
ways. But, as no more particular rules
were followed in the Use of these signs,
punctuation was exceedingly uncertain
until the end Of the fifteenth century.
when the learned Venetian printers the
Manutii, increased The number OF the
signs. ana established some fixed rules
for their application. These were so
generally adopted, that We consider the
Manutii as the inventors Of the present
metiIod Of pnnciuaii0n; and although
modern grammarians have introduced
some improvements. nothing hut a few
particular rules have heen added since
