The wonder of the unique Arabic numerals is so blunted by common use we forget sometimes that their sudden disappearance might cause our civilisation to grind to a halt with catastrophic consequences. The invention of the system was as a great a revolution as the invention of writing, and to both the transition from barbarism to civilisation is attributed. Indeed, both may have a single source created in a time beyond the horizon of our remotest past. Contrary to what is generally believed, there lies the origin of the Arabic numerals - beyond the horizon of our remotest past. The history of our ancient numerals has been an intriguing mystery. For over two centuries historians of numbers have tried to trace the roots of the system. Hundreds of manuscripts have been analysed and then reanalysed, historical accounts studied, and book after book churned out but remarkably, solid leads to the origin of the numerals remained cold. Almost despairingly, Karl Menninger confessed that the "desire to hold in one's hand the key to a mystery which experts have sought for in vain remains alive in all periods of history". In this thoroughly researched book, historian Adel S. Bishtawi believes the mystery has been unlocked, and in the process, much more was found than expected. If his conclusions are correct, our numerals, which are miniature drawings of the hand and fingers, may be 5000-7000 years old. Moreover, it is known that numerals were invented before the letters of alphabets. It is probable that some of these numerals were employed as letters in the universal alphabet used by most nations.

This is a book which though small bears evidence of a wonderful amount of research and labor. The author, Professor Conant, has drawn from every possible source to give the reader information upon the origin of number, the use ol numerals, the terms used in mathematics, in the weights and measures, and in every conceivable direction where number comes into use. At first sight the book seems to be dry, or, to say the least, adapted only to the comprehension of those to whom mathematics is a delight or a necessity; but as one looks over the pages very interesting matter is revealed and there is an immense amount of information written in a very attractive style. --"The Buffalo Commercial."Prof. L. L. Conant, of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in his opening chapter on "Counting'' in his just published work on " The Number Concept, Its Origin and Development," says: "Among the speculative questions which arise in connection with the study of arithmetic from a historical standpoint the origin of number is one that has provoked the most lively discussion and has led to a great amount of learned research among the primitive and savage languages of the human race.Prof. Conant can find no trace in the history of even the most barbarous tribes where there is not at least some familiarity with the number concept. This knowledge is in some cases extremely limited. Among some of the forest tribes of Brazil and the native races of Australia the knowledge of numbers does not go beyond 1 and 2, or 1, 2 and 3, but there is the knowledge all the same. There is at least the concept even in the lowest condition of savagery of a difference between one and two, or at least between one and many.Some idea of the scope of this most interesting work may be had from the chapter titles, Counting, Number System Limits, Origin of Number Words, Miscellaneous Number Bases, The Quinary System, and the Vigesimal System. The work shows great research and Prof. Conant has drawn as far as possible upon original resources. He has also taken great care in the selection of his authorities, and makes his work an attractive one even to those who have little or no interest in mathematics. --"The Boston Daily Advertiser."
