Bullokar's dictionary is rife with descriptions of minerals, earths, metals, juices, draughts, gums, extracts, syrups, curatives, purgatives, potions, poisons, fruits, nuts, and all manner of fatal illness and merely very unpleasant ailment.
The manner of Bullokar's definition may seem to share with our current practices a certain "scientific" approach: he anatomizes the field of divination into three "kindes," the name and order of which are curious and telling: first supernatural, second natural, and third superstitious.
Bullokar's emphasis on the practical value of hard terms is only a rejection of the intellectual interest of words themselves, if we subject the compiler to a standard alien to his practice.

 Bauch & Cable, §§152-171
The invention of the process of printing from movable type, which occurred in Germany about the middle of the fifteenth century, was destined to exercise a far-reaching influence on all the vernacular languages of Europe.
Introduced into England about 1476 by William Caxton, who had learned the art on the continent, printing made such rapid progress that a scant century later it was observed that manuscript books were seldom to be seen and almost never used.
Some idea of the rapidity with which the new process swept forward may be had from the fact that in Europe the number of books printed before the year 1500 reaches the surprising figure of 35,000.

In the mid-sixteenth century Thomas Smith, John Hart, and William Bullokar were among the first to offer proposals for the reform of orthography, not only in an attempt to achieve a more phonetic written language, but also because of the effect which it was thought to have on speech.
In the 1580s the master of Merchant Taylors' school in London, Richard Mulcaster, pitied the poor infants who 'moile themselues sore, with the maners and conditions of the nurse, with the sines or rudenes of her speeche'.

Earlier grammars such as William Bullokar's in 1586 and Ben Jonson's posthumous one were also prescriptive, but intended for language students.
Imitating the naturalists of the Eighteenth Century, linguists began to observe the pronunciation, vocabulary, grammars, and variations of languages, and began cataloging them in ways that suggested how they related to each other.

William Bullokar published his "A Bref Grammar for English" in 1586.
His son William published in 1616 what probably was the first English dictionary, "An English Expositor." Very little changed between then and Noah Webster's "A Grammatical Institute of the English Language" in 1784.
But about that time, English speakers began to drop the informal 2nd person singular, "thou." (Still retained in most other European languages - "du" in German, and "tu" instead of "usted" in Spanish.) This was the Age of Enlightenment: All men were created equal and would be addressed equally.

The "JSL Blackletter" font is based upon a typeface created by William Bullokar, for his "Booke at large, for the amendment of orthographie for English speech", published in 1580 by Henrie Denham.
In this book, Bullokar attempted to regularise the spelling of English by adding some letters to the English alphabet (mostly combinations of two letters, such as "sh" or "ph"), and by using accents to mark the pronunciation of vowels.
I will not charge you any money or send you annoying email spam; I'm simply interested in who's using it, and I'd be happy to receive any comments you might have about the font.
