To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By the old method the column rules were not cut, and single types had to be filed down or spaced out to make them fit in each col- umn. The work could not be neatly done, and this tedious and clumsy method is now out of use. Needless compactness is a common fault in the occasional tables of a book. Figures, rules, and cross-headings are crowded in too small space, and the table is made repelling to the reader. A table of 6-point figures in a text of 10-point may not be 204 Column rules should m...eet border rule avoidable when the table must be on the same page as its descriptive text, but this glaring contrast of sizes can be made less offensive by leading the lines of figures and by giving a fair relief of white space to cross-headings. When the text is leaded, the lines of figures in its table should also be leaded wherever it is possible. As the figures occupy in their height about two thirds of the body, while most lower-case letters occupy less than one half of the body, there is more need of space between lines of figures than lines of letters.
