Footnotes:

[1] In old or much-used fonts to which additions have been made after the first supply, the new letters, being cast later in a different mold, may often show a difference in the position or the number of nicks. In cases of this kind the apprentice should observe carefully and inquire before deciding that a type with a different nick does not belong to the font.

[2] The small letters are called lower-case by printers, because they are commonly kept in the lower case of a pair on the case-stand.

[3] The period, comma, hyphen, apostrophe, and occasionally some other character (such as the $) are often the same in both roman and italic fonts that are intended as companion faces.

[4] Job fonts are usually put up by founders in two sections, one containing capitals, figures, and points; the other lower-case, with a small portion of points. Diphthongs Æ Œ æ œ are not now included in job fonts, and many advertising type fonts do not include the lower-case ligatures fi ff fl ffi ffl.

Transcriber’s Notes: The original printed text contains a significant number of characters which are not included in standard ASCII or ISO-8859-1 encodings. Those glyphs are represented in this file using the numeric entities of the Unicode characters which accurately represent these glyphs as printed in the original. These characters have 'title' attributes added to their markup so that in the event you see the symbol for an unrecognized character, you can hover over it for a description. Most users should not encounter this issue, but in case it occurs it can be resolved by installing a font which has broader coverage of the Unicode character set, and/or enabling font substitution (if it is not enabled by default in your browser/OS settings).
