APPENDIX RECURRENT TYPES
The following table lists all identified types in the first quarto. All lines on the page are counted (save the headline and blank lines), and the figure following the virgula indicates the precise letter within the line. Thus, to take the first example, B4r (33/2) indicates that the first identifiable letter a occurs on B4r, on the 33rd line, and it is the second a in that line. Where there is no virgula, there is only one such letter in the line. Corrected and uncorrected copies are indicated by "c" and "u". A query following the listing indicates a probable identification, but one which remains slightly uncertain even after examination of multiple copies; a double query indicates much the same degree of uncertainty, compounded by bad inking in all examined copies. An exclamation point indicates absolute certainty of identity. When no indication is given, it means that my investigations satisfy me that the types are the same, without being of that absolute certainty (usually a grossly damaged type) which would be beyond any question whatever (the group marked with a !). Altogether, this table lists the 734 appearances of 265 pieces of type in the quarto. I should add that while all reasonable care has been exerted to ensure that these listings are accurate, it has not been possible to re-check every item recorded here, and in the nature of such a job, it is likely that some errors of transcription and recording may have crept in. The listing is offered, then, as the lawyers says, E & OE.
