Material Of Books.

From the Magazine OF American History.
If we of this stirring generation were sud-
denly jolted backward to the time when the
art of writing consisted in painting with differ
ent kinds of ink, or when events were recorded
by planting trees or throwing stones into q
pile, we should begin to appreciate our current
privileges. Visitors at the British museum
are often entertained by the examination Of
specimens Of the earliest modes Of writing
on bricks, tables of stone, ivory, the bark Of
trees, and the leaves of trees. In the Sloanian
library is a nabob's letter ON piece Of
bark, about two yards long, and richly orna-
mented with gold. There are also several
copies Of the Bible written on palm leaves
The ancients appear to have written on
any leaves they could find adapted to the
purpose. Hence the name Leaf, of book, re-
ferring to a tree, WIS derived. The Babylo-
mans made their contracts Of business ON tiles
or broken pots. The treaties between the
Romans, Spartans, and the Jews were written
on brass. The speech of Claudius, engraved
on plate OF bronze, 10 preserved In the town
hall OF Lyons, in France. There are wooden
manuscripts which must have existed prior TO
1A2S. In the shepherd state people wrote with
horn: and avis. Then they invented an iron
bodkin. After that the stylus came into use,
made sharp at one end to write with and blunt
and broad at the other for ehfacing and cor
recting. But the Romans found these sharp
instruments dangerous, as vicious persons used
them for daggers. A school-master was killed
