LETTER II. 
Reverend Sir, Chrift-Church, Oxford, June 27, 1754. 
Read July 5, /r T'' H E favourable reception, which my 
1 754* X laft letter met with from the Royal So- 
ciety, has encouraged me to trouble you with another 
upon the fame fubjedt; and to fend you a Latin andEng- 
lilhverlionofMr. Dawkins’s three remaining Palmyrene 
infcriptions, attended by fuch fhort remarks, as were 
drawn up in order a little to illuftrate and explain the 
former. And this I have been the more readily induced 
to do, as I have, I think, fince difcovered more fully 
the true notation of the Palmyrenes, at lead from Uni- 
ty to a Thousand, and am thereby enabled to cor- 
rect one or two flight errors, which had before efcaped 
me. I fhall therefore, without any farther preface or in- 
troduction, immediately proceed to the point in view, 
and confider the three infcriptions now before me, 
in the fame manner I did the preceding ones ; efpe- 
cially, as I have had the pleafure to find, that the 
method by me formerly obferved did not prove uiv- 
acceptable to fo confiderable a part of the learned.
