_Note_--In the course of the preceding article the writer has had occasion to refer frequently to the type of Nicholas Jenson in its relation to the modern British founts. The Editor has therefore included amongst the examples shown a page from the "Pliny," printed by Jenson in 1476, for purposes of comparison and reference. It will be found on page 21.
