To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Arts Disseminated by the Phoenicians. — We have dwelt at some length upon the maritime and land routes of the Phoenician traders, because of the light which the facts we have detailed shed upon the distribution of certain arts, and the spread of civilization, among the early peoples of the Mediterranean area. We can scarcely overestimate the influence of Phoenician culture and enter- prise upon the civilization of Europe. " Egypt and Assyria, " says Lenormant, " were the birthplace of material ...civilization ; the Ca- naanites [Phoenicians] were its missionaries. " Most prominent of the arts which they introduced among all the nations with whom they traded was the art of alphabetical writing.
Before or during the rule of the Hyksos in Egypt, the Phoenician settlers in the Delta borrowed from the Egyptians twenty-two hieratic characters, which they passed on to their Asiatic kins- men. These characters received new names, and became the Phoenician alphabet.
Now, almost all the true alphabets in use among different peo- ples are manifestly derived from the Phoenician.
