Unspaced : Spaced Commas
The count is limited to the first 27 quires as spaced commas virtually
disappear altogether from the book after quire 2A. Unless there is no doubt
at all, commas after 'w' and 'y', sometimes after 'f' and 'r' and certain
italic letters, have been conservatively classified as unspaced since they
naturally appear to stand apart from the face (if not the body) of the
previous letter. The counts have been spot-checked and found accurate to
within about 2 per cent. The table is followed by another showing which
compositors set which pages containing a high ratio of spaced to unspaced
commas. For the
other pages, see the table of composition above. Figures for unspaced
commas are given first.

The compositors involved in setting pages with a high ratio of spaced to
unspaced commas were:
- Bertram: D1, D3v, D4, E1, E3v, E4, F2v, F3, F4, U3, U4,
X2, X3, Y2, Y4, Z1, Z3v
- Crownfield: H2v, H3, H4, I1, I2v, I3, I4v, P1, P1v,
P2
- Délié: 2A2

- Bertram)
-
and/or) G2, G3, G4v
- Crownfield)
- Michaëlis )
-
and/or) Q1, Q1v
- Crownfield)
All of those compositors are also found setting adjacent pages containing
few spaced commas or none at all.
