A NOTE ON THE TYPE IN WHICH THIS BOOK IS SET The type face which has been used in the composition of this book is Monotype No. 8A -- which was based on a design cut by Farmer, Little & Co. The chief characteristics of this modern letter are: Extreme contrast between sharp, fine lines and stems or thick parts of the letter; ceriphs are thin and perfectly horizontal instead of the gently curving form of the old style face; ascending and descending parts of the letters are very long and round letters are somewhat square; the think part of the round letters are somewhat square; the thick part of the round letters is about the centre. This modern letter appears to best advantage in solid composition.
