Ancient Uses of Sicins and Leather.
Jn these days, of steal pens and
n.ote.!paptr but littje thought is
given .to the fact thai oup trade was
among the first to provide man
with an article whereon ho could
inscribe the. history of his time?,
and hand it down intact and well
preserved for the enlightenment of
future generations. Many have
forgotten, or, perhaps, never knew,
that the skin of animals ad leather
in its innufctured state, with awls
and thorns for pens, comprised
about the entire stock in trade ofJ
thaiiciet stationary store.
The skins most generally tvd
for this pmrpose were those of the
sheep, the goat, and the ass. The
Persians of old employe them for
writrng'their records, as did also
the ancient Ionians. . Buchariau
found in India a copy of a.' law
written on a roll of leather fi t teen
feet long; and many similar, rotys
are known to exist, some extending
t:o the extraordinary length of oue
hundred, feet. Even ' fish skins
were not despised. The Mexicans
employed them also. Pergament,
or parc'iment, as we now call it,
takes its name from its being first
used by Eumenes, K'ng of Per
gamus, about three hundred years
before. tlo Christian era,
It is. said that the imjr.ediate
cause of the introduction..' of parch"
ment was a decision on the part of
Ptolemy, King of Egypt, to prohibit
the exportation of parchment from
that "country. This caused Eu
menes to incite his subjects, to, dis
cover, a substitute. Many 'writers
hold, that Enmenea. wjis not the
cause ct the' origination of parch
ment, out of the improvement of
the old viembrana, or parchment of
the inferior kind. At any rate, it is
from the introduction of parch
ment or veliiim, that we date the
first step toward the modern form
of books.
Membrana, an inferior kiud of
parchment, was also used. Iu or-
der to prepare tins, tlio slim wf a
