very peoples it had educated, both
Dane and Saxon, sought to destroy
every vistige of learning in the land
that gave them the helping hand in
that direction, as all their writer's of
repute now admit. Irishmen could
hardly be expected to give proper at
tention for ages to the Ogham or
other valuable material, but the time
is coming when such subjects will be
handled by men of impartiality and
erudition.
What a morsel for Anna Wilkes
would be the following from Brash,
whose work was published six years
after she wrote, ut is remarkable
fact that in the most archaic forms
of Eastern writing accessible to us,
Ogham types are to be found" Thus
we have Prof. Rawlinson stating it
as his opinion that the cuneiform of
the Chaldeans superseded a linear
form of writing, the wedge being
substituted for a simple line: Among
the earliest of the monuments hither-
to discovered are q set of bricks
(found at Warka, the ancient Huruk
or Ereck) with the following in
scriptions: Belts. his lady. has
caused Urukh (Orchamus) the pi-
Gus chief, King of Hur (Ur), and
king of the land of Akkad, to build
temple to her. In the same To-
cality where it occurs, bricks are also
to be found, bearing also the same
inscription, but written in differ
ent manner. Instead of the wedge
and the arrowhead, being the ele-
ments of the writing, the whole is
formed by straight lines of almost
uniform thickness"
The Ogham Form the Most Primi-
tive.
Brash says Up. 37O) on this: GIN
the former, forms analogous to the
Tree Ogham will be found" and he
quotes DR.. Layard to prove that the
linear alphabet is the most primitive
known. Brash inclines to the belief,
for various good reasons too long
to enter into, that the Ogham form
of writing, which is acknowledged by
all profound authors to be the most
primitive if not invented in Ireland
was brought from the East and great
weight must be given to his opinion
and to those authorities he cites.

ords is "The Annals of the -Four
Masters" This is a historical work
compiled by the three O'Cleary
brothers and Mulconry. It was ex-
ecuted in the Franciscan Monastery
of Donegal land and took three years
to finish-from 1888 to 1896. The
O'Clerys were hereditary Ollavs Cor
Professors) of history to the O'Don-
nels. The work was, translated, by
DR.. John O'Donovan in 1851, the
Irish text, translation, and notes TAX
ing seven large volumes.
It is significant of the decadence of
the Ogham writing in their time and
long before, that they seem to have
no knowledge of it's value, and DR..
Petrie, one of the most celebrated
Anglo-1rish antiquarians of the last
century, defied anybody to make
anything intelligent out of the o.
ham characters, and yet before he
died there was hardly an Ogham-in-
scribed stone in Ireland that was not
deciphered.
In the "BOOk of BallymOte" the Key
to the Ogham Was Found.
During the interval of mystery
which surrounded the Ogham there
existed and is now in the museum in
Dublin very ancient manuscript

Early Irish Script---The Ogham Writing


The recent declaration by Profess
sor Money before the Archaeological
Society of Washington at it's meeting
in the National Museum that the
ancient Irish form of writing gave
the cue to the Morse Geographic
code, makes the subject of the Ogham
(Which that style is called) an inter-
esting one, especially as it is a sub
ject which has been very much ne
elected by Irish scholars, and has
been touched upon only by the most
profound scholars of Ireland and
elsewhere, writes D. J. Dryer in the
"Irish World"
For ages it has been the mystery
of mysteries of the old ancient land;
it has long been a sealed book and
to the general run of antiquarians it
has been as silent as the Sphinx for
wears. Probably one of the most
significant proofs of it's antiquity is
the fact that in the construction OF
the ancient burial mounds of the
country, which the author of Gamer
lea Before Columbus Roo
proves to be analogous with the bur
ial mounds of this country, Ogham
inscribed stones were used, taken
evidently from more ancient burial
places and without the knowledge OF
their contents by the mound builders
Some of these mounds were built
thousands of years ago, and this fact
goes far to establish the remote an
tiquity of letters in Ireland, thus
confirming other and more valuable
proofs.
The most valuable of all Irish rec

gold and silver. That these treasures
were many and valuable, the history
of the country. and the Irish muse
ums will amply testify; hence it often
happens that burial places of import
ant persons were rifled by their en-
emies, and we have many records of
such vandalism, especially by the
Danes.
1 have seen it stated that the orig
inal Ogham consisted of the sixteen
letters of the primitive Irish alpha
bet, but have been unable to obtain
information of any value on the mat
ter. 1t will be noted that the vowels,
A, E, U, E and are made by dots
or small strokes; all the rest are
dashes. The @ is only a modern
form for Gu and thus in the deci-
phered forms of the Ogham we have
in reality only seventeen letters, the
number of letters introduced by
Cadmus to the Greeks. OF course,
the marks for the double consonants
a, not additional marks; there are
also certain marks for five diph-
thongs, AE, OF, vi, IA and AE.
The Early Irish Were in Possession
of First Alphabet Known.
In the key to the Ogham found in
the Book of Ballymote." there are
various forms but all are retilinear
pattern. All of the stone monuments
so far deciphered are grounded on
scale No. 2. The most ancient alpha
bet of the East is known as the Tree
Alphabet" The early Greeks did
not understand it, and attributed it
to the far distant past. The letters
Of the Irish alphabet are called after
trees. What connection the Eastern
Tree alphabet had with the tree Og-
ham of the Irish in remote times will
form curious study for the learned
| of the future. Suffice 1t to say that
it is established that the early Irish
were in possession of the first alpha
bet known, consequently they were a
lettered people and thus another link
is found to confirm the records of
the country coming down to us from
a very remote period.

Irish records claim that it was
named after its inventor, Ogma, the
son of Elathan. This may mean the
most common of the Irish systems.
Ogma was one of the learned men of
the Danaan colony which was in Ire
land about two thousand years before
the time of our Lord. There are
several forms of the Ogham, but the
only form thus found on the Irish
tombstones, is that of scale No. 2.
There are no manuscripts known at
this time in that character. Nothing
except the key above mentioned.
One of the Difficulties in Translation.
The letters run from the bottom of
the stone upwards on the left hand
corner, and sometimes continue on
to the other side. This has constitu
ted one of the difficulties in transla-
tion, and with the natural mutations
of the language, the translation is
even now almost impossible except
by a most expert student. Again
the wearing away by the action of the
elements, or other means will neces-
state fair idea of what was origin
ally inscribed to make out the in
scription. Thus far Brash and others
seem to have made no important
failures, and while all Oghams are
found only in sepulchral monuments
thus handing down to the ages, the
names prominent in Ireland in
the dim past, there are few names
that can be said to be those of any
of the great men whose names are
familiar to readers of Irish history,
no matter how remote. In Ogham
writing the letters are former on a
stem line, as seen in the scales herein
shown.
The tallest inscribed Ogham is
found on the Southern shore of Ken
mare Bay in the Southwest of Ire
land, not far from the little village
of Eyries Bearhanen. Brash, in the
company of Rev. John Hallahan, in
the year 1866, made out the inscrip-
ton quite easily and it will give a
good idea of the general style of the
Ogham writing to be found in the
country. 1t is reproduced here just
as Brash has given it.
1t Was Used for Divers Purposes Be-
Sides That of Sepulchral Mon
uments.
Doubtless the Ogham was used for
divers purposes besides that of sep
ulchral monuments, but so far there
is nothing to show for it. 1t has
generally been thought that the Og-
ham was secret form of writing
adopted by the Druids, but why they
should adopt secret form of writ
ing is not clear, nor has it been
proved. 1t is not unreasonable to
presume that the Ogham, not being
in general use, was not generally
known, and to insure the body from
foreign or domestic marauders, II
was thought preferable.

zion at tne lack OF Interest Ill tue W.
ham, he doesn't hesitate to place the
blame on the prejudice existing
against all things Irish by the leading
scholars of England as we'll as the
Anglo-Irish school. Indeed have no
hesitation in saying that Englishmen
have been fairer on such affairs than
the Anglo-Irish, whose works on all
things Irish must be read with a
great deal of caution, because it has
been a consistent failing with the
majority of them that they cloud in
the most subtle manner all those
questions which tend to confirm the
ancient records of Ireland, records
which tell of magnificent civiliza-
ton existing in the country from the
most remote times.
England's records are very modern
in comparison and the motives of the
various hostile writer's have been so
apparent that some of them have re-
ceived severe castigations from such
men as DR.. Brennan and Henry
O'Neill, both members of the Royal
Irish Academy.
Another motive for casting doubt
on the Irish records, is the great big
English market. AS has been said
by an eminent Anglo-Irishwoman.
there are too many in Ireland who
write for commercial purposes.
