of Letter-press, in a type to be appropriated by law to that purpose,
and which, of if so appropriated, must
therefore be such a type as nobody either ever
has applied, or could ever have occasion to apply
to any other purpose: suppose a type half as
tall again or as tall again in proportion to its
breadth as the tallest type known to be in use.(a)
