Paleography is the study of the development of ancient writing. Very often the history of a language is interlinked with the history of the area where that writing has developed. In this book the author has attempted to trace the origin to South Indian languages with a double object in mind: the first is to trace the gradual developing of writing using documents that have a date and then to date undated documents using the formerly derived data. He has also give a chronological series of alphabets traced from the impressions of the original documents. The book has 30 charts and impressions of engraving to support the thesis. This work was first published in 1874
