2010 Reprint of 1927 First Edition. Lieutenant Colonel Laurence
Austine Waddell (1854 - 1938) was a British explorer, collector in
Tibet, and author. He traveled in India throughout the 1890s
(including Sikkim and areas on the borders of Nepal and Tibet) and
wrote about the Tibetan Buddhist religious practices he observed
there. In his later works he tried to synthesize Western and Near
Eastern cultures. In this work he proposes an Aryan (i.e.,
Indo-European) origin of the alphabet. His point of departure is
the presumed Semitic origin of the Alphabet, against which he makes
an argument for an actual Aryan origin. Illustrated in the text and
with two large plates.
