V. Summary

The analysis continues after the same fashion. From Quire E on, there are further dislocations in the typographical evidence caused, I am convinced, by the occasional use of the Folio types to set other material; because of failures in linkage, some additional suspicions arise in certain quires about the employment of a third case, and hence the presence of a third compositor; and the spelling patterns are neither as pronounced nor as consistent as one could wish. On the whole, the evidence is stronger in The Mad Lover than in The Spanish Curate or The Little French Lawyer, but even in those texts (where further investigation may be warranted) I believe the analysis establishes in outline if not always in detail the history of the printing. In the following, where (b) represents a blank page, the order of printing and the workmen responsible for composing Section 1 are given:
