+\section{Introduction}
+
+    This document provides some samples of the book-hand fonts. They are
+available from CTAN in the \texttt{fonts/bookhands} directory. The 
+characters in each font are displayed first, followed by an example
+of some text including ligatures. Then some more text is
+shown in the font. The first part of the text are sentences containing some
+well known English phrases. The second part consists of Latin
+sentences. The first two of these are Latin
+abecedarian sentences dating from about 790~\textsc{ad}. The last
+sentence also dates from around that time.
+
+    As an example, the Computer Modern Roman font would be sampled like this:
+\begin{center}
+\abc \\
+\punct{} \dashes \\
+\figs 
+
+\ligs\par
+\end{center}
+
+\begin{quotation}
+\sentence{} \latin \par
+\end{quotation}
+
+    It should be noted that not all the fonts have the complete range of
+punctuation marks and ligatures as shown in the CMR example. Punctuation
+was virtually non-existant in the first century while by Gutenberg's time
+all of our modern punctuation marks were in use.
+
+\clearpage
+
+\section{Square Capitals}
+
+    Square Capitals were used from the first century onwards, principally
+in the form of capital letters with other hands. 
+
+    The font and packages are in the \texttt{sqrcaps} subdirectory.

+\begin{center}
+\sqrcfamily
+\abc \\
+\punct{} \dashes \\
+\figs 
+
+\ligs\par
+\end{center}
+
+\begin{quotation}
+\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.7}
+\sqrcfamily 
+\sentence{} \latin \par
+\end{quotation}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\section{Roman Rustic}
+
+    The Roman Rustic font was used between the first and sixth centuries.

+
+\begin{center}
+\rustfamily
+\abc \\
+\punct{} \dashes \\
+\figs

+fonts.
