 Not of much help so far I'm afraid. There is one that comes close for the title: the Block (Berthold}. The bad news; I know of no rounded version. Softening the bad news, if it is only for the title it is probably not much work to adapt it for the letters necessary.
We only have an E to go for, but I thing the type used for publisher and body is the same. But I don't get a proper match. I may help if you can make a new scan, 3, 4 times larger, without all that background noise of the roman r and t and the oblique v and G.
Chapter titles; I don't think it was ever digitized, thus no match. That is for the whole word. for the individual letters there are close ones. Maybe this one can be - sort of - imitated by combining existing fonts. Would need all the letters though ...

I think I can help a bit, I hope.
I don't know what the first font is, and it feels like I should know it. If you ever find out or find a copy, I'd love it. Lowercase letters look a little like
Marydale, but not very much, and caps are completely different.
The second font is probably one of the thousands of vanity handwriting fonts out there. It's going to be very difficult to identify it, if you want an exact match. However[/i:bc7f43626b] , if you're just looking for the same kind of thing, you'll be fine with most vanity fonts based on women's handwriting; I've seen lots of similar-looking fonts, and have DLed a few, but I've forgotten where they came from. You should be able to check around in pretty much any archive, especially the lower-quality ones.
The third font looks pretty similar to TCL Escuelera, except Escuelera has a lot of noise -- all those speckles around the letters -- and whatever version was used in your page has been cleaned up (if it was Escuelera to begin with, and the more I look the less sure I am). It could also be a weird obliqued (or possibly a genuinely italicised) version of Angelina. Another not-quite-right but close font is Dear Joe. I ran a sight-search, which came up with these possible fonts. They don't seem to be right, though, and half of them aren't available anyway; you may wish to run your own search, but I wouldn't count on it turning much up.
The fourth font I haven't seen before, but I don't think you wanted to know about it anyway. Do you know what it is?
The fifth font is a puzzler. There are a couple of commercial handwriting fonts that look very similar, but certainly aren't a family -- most of them come with certain packages of MSWord 2000+, and include fonts such as Murray and Pinafore. They're just generally a pain to identify. Here's the sight-search list; much good may it do you.
Good luck with all of these. You certainly know how to pick tough ones!
[edited:[/b:bc7f43626b] Because of fonts.com's frames, the sight-searches' links aren't correct. It'll only link you to the beginning of the process, and it's really not worth redoing. There wasn't anything too similar or useful.]
