In the corner corner of each sheet, In the same part of each
sheet⊞ ⊞ namely in the right hand corner at the bottom, may be seen a figure numerical figure in pen and ink expressive of the order in which
that it sheet occupied in the number of the strata sheets: the sheet with
which the bottom style comes in immediate contact being No 1
the next to it, No 2: the , No 8.
A result that might naturally be expected is – that the sheet
in which the imposture is strongest, and the type clearest style
and most easily legible. But this same order of the great would be that with which the
was in immediate contact. But in fact the rank occupied by the several & sheets is sheets has been
hitherto matter of accident: the and in the present instance the order of legibility
legibility is the very worst of all very reverse of that
which is the most common and most common and natural
order.
In the case as well of the as the vilest
the writing a mode of rendering the writing considerably
more legible is – by putting under the manifold
sheet a sheet of white paper.
