Den - a study.
D = 500 in Roman numerals
En = a point, it's a printing term, relating to a small space.

Malone - actually I think in this case, as the 'points' is plural, it's referring to points of the compass - E = East, N = North -
'en' and 'em' , the printer's blank pieces of type, are usually referred to as 'spaces', rather than points - 'point' in printing refers to the type height.
