[95] The distinction in the Prayer Book between "Amen" and "_Amen_"--used as a response--is best marked by the sign @ (for Responsum) in red, placed before the _latter_, as: @ Amen (see pp. 144, 25).
[96] Figs. 195 and 196 are from Mr. Cockerell's "Bookbinding and the Care of Books," in this Series.
[98] _Thread_ should be unbleached. Silk of the best quality is better than thread.
[99] _Forrel_ may be used as a cheap substitute for vellum.
[100] "_Squares_" = "_the portion of the boards projecting beyond the edges of the book_."
[101] "_Foredge_" = "(fore edge) _the front edge of the leaves_."
[102] A good, rather dark green ribbon looks well--such as that known as "Church lace," used for the "tyers" in some of the Kelmscott books. Very good ribbons may be obtained from a bookbinder, at 6d. to 1s. 6d. a yard.
[103] _E.g._ all ordinary written and printed matter intended to be read _at a short distance_ (see pp. 103-106).
[104] As much as two-thirds, or more, of the whole space.
[105] The addressee's taste and convenience ought to be considered: _e.g._ to one the framed inscription might be an embarrassment, while by another it might be preferred.
[106] To be given to the person in charge of the address.
[107] The original intention of this fold, in deeds, was to provide for the attachment of the seal, and, perhaps, to prevent any addition being made. If the folded part be fairly wide, say, 3/4 to 1 inch, little or no foot margin need be allowed.
[108] _E.g._ to keep to 1/2 inch writing-line spaces (except for extra small addresses, or small books). This being approximately the right space for ordinary SIGNATURES, results in further simplification of ruling and arrangement.
[109] In the common form «&», the letters @ @ (see Plate VI.) are now barely traceable.
[110] Other particulars may be put in the colophon (p. 142).
[111] The use of "rules," though quite legitimate, will be found misleading if it be depended on to "doctor" and "pull together" any weak arrangement of lettering.
