I have had the very great Pleasure of receiving and perusing your excellency Essai des Characters de l’Imprimerie. It is one of the most beartiful that Art had hitherto produc’d. I should be glad to see a Specimen of your other Founts besides this Italic and Roman of the Letter to the Marqs. de Cubieres; and to be inform’d of the Price of each kind. I do not presume to criticise your Italic Capitals; they are generally perfect: I would only beg leave to say, that to me the Form of the T in the Word Lettre of the Title Page seems preferable to that of the T in the Word Typographic in the next Page, as the downward Stroke of T, P, R, F, B, D, H, K, L, J, and some others, which in writing we begin at the Top, naturally swells as the Pen descends; and it is only in the A and the M and N that those Strokes are fine, Because the Pen begins them at the Bottom. With great Esteem I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
