Hieroglyfic: or, a Grammatical Introduction to an Universal Hieroglyfic Language

A bold, eighteenth‑century experiment, this work sets out to untangle the tangled strands of human speech and rebuild a universal system of signs. The author surveys the building blocks of English, Welsh, Greek and Latin, then ventures into philosophical reflections on what language reveals about the nature of man and the world. With a mix of linguistic analysis and metaphysical musing, it invites readers to imagine a grammar that could bridge cultures as easily as a common alphabet.

The treatise offers practical guidelines for creating a hieroglyphic vocabulary, pairing visual symbols with the sounds they intend to capture. It balances scholarly ambition with a heartfelt plea for a return to primitive, shared knowledge, urging curious minds to join the quest for a language that mirrors the human mind itself. Listeners will find a fascinating blend of historical insight, linguistic curiosity, and visionary speculation.
