English citations of r rotunda

1883, Isaac Taylor, The Alphabet, page 188:
In the earlier minuscule we find z, which, to avoid confusion with ꝛ, a rounded form of r called r rotunda, gave place to 𝔷 or ꝣ, a form surviving in the cedilla (ç) which is a 'little zed,' as the name implies.
1891, Chambers's Encyclopaedia: A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge, page 539, entry "R":
For the lapidary and capital forms the old R has been retained, but in minuscule writing we use r and ꝛ, the first of which is an uncial form derived from R; the second, called the r rotunda, coming from the old Roman cursive, in which the vertical stroke of R has nearly disappeared, being represented only by the small tag at the top of ꝛ.
