[435] There were also, not in Specimen, a 2-line Great Primer, Double Pica, Pica, two Small Picas and a set of 2-line Nonpareil Capitals. A Paragon, Bourgeois and two sets of Nonpareil had been lost.
[436] This was the fount used in the Catena on Job, 1637.
[437] “Remarkably beautifully cut and justified.”
[438] A Double Pica, Pica and Long Primer had been lost.
[439] A 2-line English had been lost.
[440] Also a Double Pica not in specimen.
[441] i.e., Black—of which the following sets, not in Specimen, were also sold:—Double Pica, two Great Primers, two English, four Small Picas, Long Primer, three Breviers and Nonpareil. A 2-line Great Primer, Double Pica, Long Primer and Bourgeois had been lost.
[442] Of these, one was a 4-line, to which belonged a set of “leaden” lower-case matrices.
[443] There is more difficulty in tracing these to their original sources than in the case of the matrices, as not only are the numbers not given, but the bodies named may very likely vary from the actual bodies to which the matrices were justified.
[444] See p. [191]. Though the matrices of this fount do not appear in the Catalogue, they were evidently in James’s foundry, as they are mentioned in the list drawn up by James in 1767, and are not specified among the matrices lost. They were acquired at the sale of Dr. Fry, and may possibly have been included with the Saxons, or with the imperfect lots.
