¹ In the *Indian Antiquary* Vol. i., p. 229. This article is, I believe, the first to call attention to this alphabet. Specimens of the character occur in the preface to Rheede’s “Hortus Malabaricus” (1678), and in Fryer’s “New Account” (1698) p. 33. The author gives it as Telugu, but the specimen on p. 52 is Telugu and not Malabar (Tamiḻ) as he states; he has made a mistake between them.
