Hieroglyfic: Or, A Grammatical Introduction To An Universal Hieroglyfic Language; Consisting Of English Signs And Voices. With A Definition Of All The Parts Of The English, Welsh, Greek, And Latin Languages; Some Physical, Metaphysical, And Moral Cursory Remarks On The Nature, Properties, And... By Rowland Jones. This edition presents an eighteenth-century project to restore a universal hieroglyphic language that uses signs and vocal sounds to express ideas. The book includes a comprehensive Preface arguing that language corruption hinders scientific progress and proposes a rational system to recover the first universal tongue. It features a Grammar divided into Letters, Particles, Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Articles, each linked to hieroglyphic signs and phonetics. A substantial Vocabulary illustrates cross-linguistic correspondences among English, Welsh, Greek, and Latin. The author posits that speech originates from divine inspiration and offers a method to construct sentences through an invariant, universal logic aimed at linguistic restoration and moral uplift.
