Note 89 — Chapter I · THE ENGLISH TYPE BODIES AND FACES.
Reading edition
The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments. London, printed by John Field, 1653, 32mo. The inexperience of English compositors and correctors in dealing with this minute type is illustrated by the fact that Field’s Pearl Bibles are crowded with errors, one edition, so it is said, containing 6,000 faults.
