Sir Cyril Burt and Typography: A Re-evaluation.
Hartley, James; Rooum, Donald
British Journal of Psychology, v74 n2 p203-12 May 1983
Examines Burt's contributions to typographical research on spacing words and texts; use of serifs, and the effects of typefaces, typesizes, and line-length on reading comprehension. In spite of Hearnshaw's (1979) favorable assessment and the wisdom of Burt's sentiments, many of his conclusions were not supported by data. (JAC)
