, One must always be reminded of
the quill by the word "pen," because
that word comes from the Latin
"penna," which meant feather" and
in this connection it is interesting tc
note that our word "pencil' comes
from the Latin "pencillus."' which
meant "a little brush" or the tail or
brush Of an animal. Also let US be
reminded that the Romans called
their black ink, backing, and that our
word ink, comes to. us through the
French from ''encustum,". which was
the red ink used by Roman emperors.
