A NOTE ON THE TYPE
The text of this book was set, via computer-driven cathode-ray tube, in Garamond No. 3, a modern rendering of the type first cut by Claude Garamond (1510—1561). Garamond was a pupil of Geoffroy Troy and is believed to have based his letters on Venetian models, although he introduced a number of important differences, and it is to him we owe t
he letter which we know as old style. He gave to his letters a certain elegance and a feeling of movement that won for their creator an immediate reputation and the patronage of Francis I of France. Composed by Graphic Composition, Inc., Athens, Georgia. Printed and bound by Fairfield Graphics, Fairfield, Pennsylvania. Inserts printed by Halliday Lithographers, West Hanover, Massachusetts.
