This French Lower case lay is given by Fertel: La Science Practique de l'Imprimerie (1723, reprinted Gregg 1971). Most of the long and short accents are in the Upper case, but some are fitted in the Lower, and thus the case needs more divided boxes than Fertel's Casseau Inferieau des Caracteres Vulgaires, and it has a total of 61 boxes. Characters with ¯ represent long accents (longues), and with ¬ short accents (brèves). The ~ represents doubtful (douteuses). Characters in italics, e.g. y are roman but shown by Fertel with a subscript cr. The | represents a long s. The dem and cad are demi-cadratins and cadratins.
The empty configuration is Fertel.
