FRACTIONS.

Common Fractions, or broken numbers in arithmetic, are cast solid to all

sizes of type. A great improvement has been introduced by casting the

numerator and denominator separately, on bodies of half size, with the

line on the under figure, so that odd fractions of any amount may be

readily formed, thus: ¹ ² ³ ⁄₂ ⁄₃ ⁄₄ ½ ⅔ ¾.
