Hi Guys,
Maybe there might be someone here familiar with early English. I have always been fascinated by how quaint our colonial writing looks when our "s" was written like an "f". Was there any rule of thumb as to when to use "s" or "f"? also, from the attached image, there seems to be differences in the writing:
It appears that if a word begins or ends in an "s", then an "s" is used.
If an "s" is in the middle of a word, the an "f" is used, BUT the cross bar of the "f" only extends to the left and not to the right.
An "f" has the crossbar extending in both directions.
If a word is italicized, as in "Maffachufetts" in the attached document, then the first three "s" do not have a cross bar and they extend below the bottoms of the rest of the letters.
These are my observations. Are there any comments from those familiar with the Old English?
Ray
