Clarendon is like a box. The set width and cap height are more square than that of Chelt. Both are serifs. Clarendon is a slab serif. The ears of the g's on both Clarendon and Chelt have balls. Chelt's ear on the g is perkier than that of Clarendon's... it looks sad. Clarendon is a lot bolder than that of Chelt. There is more visible modulation on Chelt than that of Clarendon. The q in Clarendon is curvier than that of the q in Chelt. It just kinda juts out there with a little curve.

Time for a little Comparison
So I accidently submitted it before I actually typed anything. So here it is... The Comparison!
Goudy and Universe
Goudy is a serif verses Universe being a san serif. Universe's set width is narrower compared to Goudy (is narrower a word?) The modulation of Goudy varies while the modulation of Universe is the same. The serifs of Goudy also have a dip in them. Goudy's lower case g has an ear unlike Universe.

Baskerville and BauerBodoni Comparison
First of all, the set width of Baskerville is wider than that of BauerBodoni. The serifs of BB are straight while serifs of the Baskerville tend to have a curve to them. The ear on the g in BauerBodoni has a ball on the end verses Baskerville which doesn't. The tail of the q in Baskerville is more fluid verses BauerBodoni which is more linear. The modulation for both of the types are about the same
