The layout is that shown in Johnson: Typographia (1824), as that adopted by Earl Stanhope, discarding the old ligatures, and adding new ones, and having sloping fronts to the boxes. The lay is also shown by Savage: Dictionary of the Art of Printing (1841), and Legros & Grant: Typographical Printing Surfaces (1916). Johnson considers it most unsuitable in practice, and offers his own Johnson Proposed lay.
