Other Non-Fiction Lilburne, John et al.: An Agreement Of The Free People of England v1.0.3 14/11/2013

[DomesticExtremis]

An Agreement of the People was a series of manifestos, published between 1647 and 1649, for constitutional changes to the English state. Several versions of the Agreement were published, each adapted to address not only broad concerns but also specific issues during the fast changing revolutionary political environment of those years. The Agreements of the People have been most associated as the manifestos of the Levellers but were also published by the Agitators and the General Council of the New Model Army.

Where did you find the font, and how did you handle inserting in the text the ligatures, such as a single one such as long f and double ones such as c+t?

[DomesticExtremis]

The font is here, I stumbled upon it whilst looking for something else.
I didn't do anything about c+t - I wasn;t aware that there was a ligature for it.

The long s was added using Sigil regex
Find: s([ac-eg-jl-z])
Replace: ſ\1

using the rules set out here - well, some of them...
