For the Future

The next step should be to identify type specimens and take measurements directly from these sources. Updike in his "Chronological List of Specimens" cites 124 specimens for a start. As it now stands, the correlated tables which follow are of use primarily when there are at least two consecutive lines of the same type, and when those lines are set solid. It would be helpful to have a guide for identifying type which appeared in a single line and especially in lead ones. Another convenience would be to have the type face measurements, as do several of the sources already cited above.

Note: Page numbers are from volume one; sequence is ascending number; name as given by Bodoni; examples means how many are available; lines measured means 20-line figures to the right were based on this number (and multipled as necessary); at least two measurements were taken, usually the Italian sources. Finally, the check figures are based on height x 20 divided by number of lines.
