Small caps

A while ago I read an e-copy of Stalin's General, in which the first couple of lines beginning each paragraph were boldface caps but smaller than the usual. I assumed that the small-caps variant would produce that, so I wrote this:

span.smallcap {
font-variant:small-caps;
font-weight:bold;
}

I find however that this variant is for Large & Small caps, and that the small caps are too small.

Can I accomplish what the publisher of Stalin's General did by using a percentage figure? What would the style look like, say at 75 percent?

(I appreciate that this has nothing to do with Sigil, but I don't know where else to ask!)

Thanks - NJ
