eighteen words. In the smaller fount the largest number of words occurring 

 on a single page is sixteen on page 380. The Greek type is to be found in 

 the latter volume almost entirely in some marginal notes on pp. 3, 17, 19, 21, 

 46, and 83, and is here of a small fount. At page 5-i, however, occur two 

 lines in the text of a larger and peculiar fount. 



Greek type of two founts is also to be found in Usher's " Answer to a 

 Challenge made by aJesuite in Ireland," &c., printed at Dublin, in 162-4, by 

 the Company of Stationers. One is a small type, brevier Greek, and occurs 

 in the margin of very many pages, far too numerous to give in detail, and 

 thrice in the text (see pp. 357 to 359), but consists of sentences or quotations 

 of some length from certain authors. The larger fount, pica Greek, occurs to 

 a lesser extent in the text itself on fifty-one different pages, sometimes in 

 sentences or in several lines, or else in odd words. {Vide fig. 1.)
