A NOTE ON THE TYPE
The principal text of this Modern Library edition
was set in a digitized version of Janson, a typeface that
dates from about 1690 and was cut by Nicholas Kis,
a Hungarian working in Amsterdam. The original matrices have
Hermann Zapf redesigned some of the weights and sizes for
Stempel, basing his revisions on the original design.
