![not easy to see. how, for example, two prints can have the same height, but different breadth, or vice versa. The sizes given are in most cases a rough average of several prints which I have measured. They are not necessarily the measurements of the particular print seledted for reproduftion. Asterisk: An asterisk prefixed to an entry indicates that the facsimile has been made from the book named. When a device occurs more than once in the book, the particular example reproduced is indicated by a second asterisk. Thus in No. i8 the device has been reproduced from Lyndewode's Provinciale, where it occurs twice, and specifically from the second occurrence of it—in the Preliminaries of Part II. In one or two cases of blocks taken from the Handlists of English Printers there is some doubt as to the book from which the reproduction was made. In these cases no asterisk will be found. ^ery Marks: A query prefixed to an entry indicates that there is some doubt whether the device occurs in the book or not. It is used in the case of books which I have not seen, when the description of the device given by my authority is insufficient to distinguish it with certainty from a somewhat similar one, generally the same design in another size.
