- summary: Letter forms based upon those shown in figures 1 and 2. F. C. B. 5 PHOTOGRAPH OF INCISED ROMAN CAPITALS.

- summary: It is very pleasant in the water on a fine day; but little boys should not go there, as it might be deep, and they might become cramped in their limbs, and be drowned when no one was near, as many naughty boys have been before now. Little boys and girls should not touch strange dogs, for they sometimes snap at those who are not familiar to them.

- summary: D in its lower half make like B; but at top let the anterior limb ascend upwards to the maximum height of the letters, and then cut off the hither angle by its diagonal; next superpose to the same height half a square upon the other three squares of the farther limb, & once more do here as you did below, and let this broken limb rest on the angle of the near limb, and let it extend beyond it as far as the end of the upright near limb; and so will it all but contain three conjunct squares; for when it meets the near vertical limb, that fraction is to be cut off at right angles. This (as I said above) is the antique form of the letters; but in these days there is used a more elegant text, and a diagonal square is substituted in the middle place for a right square, so that the lines of the letters are not so much curved; and there are made certain limbs adjoined and cleft; and there are set one on another three squares & a half; and spaces are left between two limbs as great as their width.
- keywords: angle; arc; breadth; broad; broad limb; circle; compass; cut; diagonal; diagonal square; diameter; draw; farther; fashion; hither; illustration; left; length; letter; like; limb; line; line e.; little; lower; middle; narrower; oblique; point; right; round; set; square; tenth; tip; touch; transverse; vertical; vertical limb
