Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Milton's Complete Poetical Works, Vol. 1: Reproduced in Photographic Facsimile; A Critical Text Edition Compiled and Edited; Poem, &C. Upon Several Occasions, 1673; Poems, Both English and Latin, 1645; With Fugitive Paintings, Manuscript Copies, and Their Collations The type is not particularly noteworthy, being the usual Garamond roman used by so many London printers of that day and earlier. It is well adapted in size and appearance to its purpose in this volume. It has a few peculiarities which may be noted here. The W and w as in most Garamond designs have the left half of the letter cut lighter and a little shorter than the right half, which peculiarity in the capital letter makes it look too short as a letter whenever it occurs before a lower case letter with a full height ascender. The lower case k is worth noting, because the top of the upper right diagonal stroke of the letter is at exactly the height of the body of the other standard lower case letters. The accent marks in the Latin poems have been set from a font that had too few of them, and the compositor has met the situation as best he could from what he had to work with, which sometimes was very little.
