“The Hebrew word, which is in our English Bible rendered ‘The LORD,’
is in the Hebrew the High and Holy name of God himself, the most
solemn of all words--JEHOVAH. It is a general rule throughout the Old
Testament, that, wheresoever the word ‘LORD’ is printed in capital
letters, it will be found on looking into the Hebrew Bible, that the
word there written was JEHOVAH. And for this difference, between the
translation and the original work, the following reason is given.
The later Jews have a fancy that this name of JEHOVAH is so sacred
and aweful, that it could never be spoken, excepting by the High
Priest once in a year, without the sin of taking GOD’s name in vain.
And accordingly when, at this day, they read the Scriptures in their
Synagogues, whenever the word JEHOVAH is used, they say ADONAI, or
LORD, in its place. But the learned men, by whom our English Bible
was translated, had been instructed in Hebrew by the Jews; and were
so far moved by their example, as to feel the same anxiety, with
their teachers, to prevent this name from being commonly spoken.
Instead, therefore, of writing ‘JEHOVAH,’ they have written for the
most part ‘The LORD:’ but they have written it in capital letters
that the Lord of Heaven and Earth might be distinguished from all His
creatures.”--_Bishop Heber’s Sermons_, vol. ii.
England is the only Protestant country in Europe where the printing
of Bibles is a monopoly.
For the allowance of the duty on paper used in the printing of
Bibles, _see_ PAPER.
BILL,
with letter founders, a specific proportionate number of types,
the datum from which the proportion is estimated being 3,000 lower
case ems. A bill of Pica weighs 800 pounds, including italic, which
is in the proportion of one tenth of the roman. The term “bill” is
not used among printers, although it is by the letter founders; this
would be styled by printers, a fount of Pica of eight hundred weight.
Smith is, as far as I am aware, the first writer who published the
number of each sort that the founders cast to 3,000 ems; and he also
made some alterations in the numbers previously cast by the letter
founders, “by enlarging the numbers of some sorts, and by lessening
the quantity of others,” “to try whether a fount of letter would turn
out more perfect than it sometimes does.”
Later writers have copied Smith’s numerical list of sorts, as well
as his altered numbers, and by copying his words without mentioning
his name each of them appears to the public as having suggested an
improvement, while, in fact, the founders pay no regard to these
proportions, but cast from a scale of their own.
The late Earl Stanhope gave another scale of numbers, produced by
counting the letters and points to a certain extent in Enfield’s
Speaker; but as he discarded the ligatures, and added what he called
“Logotypes,” his numbers are not followed.
I do not know on what datum the number of each letter was originally
obtained, as cast by the founders; but it is well known in practice
that a great number of imperfections are always wanted in a printing
office; and from the construction of language it appears there always
will be a great number of particular sorts deficient, whatever the
proportions may be at first. In proof of this it may be stated, that
a new fount of letter shall be cast for the purpose of printing a
work; in composing this letter it shall be found that there is a
great deficiency of some letters, and a superabundance of others: to
bring the whole fount into use, for the purpose of composing as many
pages as possible, the deficient sorts are cast, till the proportions
answer to each other. When this work is finished, another author’s
work is to be printed with the same letter: the disproportion
is again felt; those which at the first were deficient are now
superabundant, and those which were abundant will be deficient; so
that the master printer, to keep the whole of his letter in use
is obliged to be continually casting those deficiencies and thus
enlarging his founts.
The disuse of the long ſ, which took place some years ago, and also
of ct, has varied the proportions considerably of the letters
composing their combinations, b, h, i, k, l, and t.
The following Table shows the old numbers, also Smith’s and Earl
Stanhope’s; those at present cast by the letter founders, I give on
the authority of Messrs. Caslon and Livermore.

In Lists of Names, Indexes, and similar matter, the number of
capitals specified in this Bill would be greatly deficient; as would
also be the case with the accented letters for works in the Latin and
French languages. The figures and the em and en quadrats would be
found very inadequate for table work: in fact, in all these cases it
would be imperative to cast additional numbers.
Earl Stanhope introduced the following sorts, each in one piece, of
which he gives the following numbers to be cast for a fount of the
preceding weight:--an, 1,620--in, 1,731--of, 1,035--on, 897--re,
1,509--se, 1,152--th, 3,024--to, 1,095.--_See_ LOGOTYPE.
