Note 63 — Chapter I · THE ENGLISH TYPE BODIES AND FACES.
Reading edition
In several of the German specimens thus examined, not only do the bodies of one founder differ widely from those of others, but the variations of each body in the same foundry are often extraordinary. Faulman, in his Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst, Vienna, 1882, 8vo, p. 488, has a table, professing to give the actual equivalents of each body to a fraction; but we conceive that, in the absence of a fixed national standard, such an attempt is futile.
