"The following study is the result of the recognition by Sir Cyril Burt and other of three facts: first, that type faces now available are much more numerous than they were thirty years ago ; secondly, that their present number imposes upon authors, publishers, printers and readers the need to select; and thirdly, that their wide extent of variation is such as to render it desirable to inquire into the grounds upon which they are distinguished and ascertain the degree to which discrimination is agreeable to reason and experience.
