confection made from honey, egg whites and almonds. Many countries cl aim parentage to this traditional delight. Variations are found in Ital y, France, Spain and the Middl e East, but its actual origins are obscure. Some trace it back to the Romans in the ancient writings of the Roman epicure, Apicius from 1st century AD, whose notes were used for the ancient cookbook, De Re Coquinaria from the 4th century AD. This describes a nut custard made of honey, walnuts and eggs. Or perhaps more likel y, the Arabs, who have cul tivated various types of nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts), honey and sugar for centuries.

“The quick brown fox jumps over the l azy dog” is an English l anguage pangram: a sentence that contains all of the l etters of the alphabet. It is commonly used for touch-typing practice, testing typewriters and computer keyboards, displ aying exampl es of fonts, and other applications invol ving text where the use of al l l etters in the alphabet is desired.

The earliest known appearance of the phrase is from The Boston Journal. In an article titled “Current Notes” in the February 10, 1885, morning edition, the phrase is mentioned as a good practice sentence for writing students: “A favorite copy set by writing teachers for their pupils is the following, because it contains every letter of the alphabet: ‘A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.’” Dozens of other newspapers published the phrase over the next few months, all using the version of the sentence starting with “A” rather than “The”.
10/15,5pt The earliest known use of the phrase in its modern form (starting with “The”) is from the 1888 book Illustrative Shorthand by Linda Bronson. The modern form (starting with “The”) became more common despite the fact that it is slightly longer than the original (starting with “A”). As the use of typewriters grew in the late 19th century, the phrase began appearing in typing lesson books as a practice sentence.

Early examples include How to Become Expert in Typewriting: A Complete Instructor Designed Especially for the Remington Typewriter (1890), and Typewriting Instructor and Stenographer’s Hand-book (1892). By the turn of the 20th century, the phrase had become widely known. In the January 10, 1903, issue of Pitman’s Phonetic Journal, it is referred to as “the well known memorized typing line embracing all the letters of the alphabet”. Robert Baden-Powell’s book Scouting for Boys (1908) uses the phrase as a practice sentence for signaling.
