Miscellaneous Information:
Dalgarno managed to publish Ars Signorum (Art of Signs) in 1661, seven years before Wilkins’s Real Character came out. His rush to publication went unrewarded. The one
detailed review he received mocks him for his poor skills in Latin, implies that his benefactors only supported him because they felt sorry for him, and concludes by using his
own language to call him nηkpim sυfa (the greatest ass).
