Capitals were originally +derived from the stiff and angular letters used in formal inscriptions. +Originally all writing was done in capitals. Later the scribes devised +less formal shapes for the letters, making use of lines more easily made +by brush or pen on papyrus, parchment, or paper. The capitals were +retained for certain uses but the less formal shapes were employed to do +the greater part of the work. These less formal letters have been known +by several names. They will be referred to here by that under which they +are known to modern printers, "lower-case." + +A further modification of the letter came with the introduction of the +sloping, or italic letter. This received its name from its place of +origin, Italy. It was introduced by Nicholas Jenson, a printer of +Venice, and was an imitation of the handwriting of the Italian poet +Petrarch. Originally it was used only for the lower-case and was +combined with the older form of capital letters, called roman, also from +the place of its origin. Later the italic characteristics were given to +capitals as well as lower-case letters. + +An ordinary font of book type contains five series of letters: full +capitals, small capitals, italic capitals (full size), roman lower-case, +and italic lower-case. The full capital, roman or italic, is larger than +the other letters of the font, every letter being as high as the +lower-case ascenders. The small capital is only as high as the +lower-case round letters. Larger capitals still are sometimes used as +chapter initials and the like. + +It will be observed that the distinction between capital and lower-case +letters is one of form, not of size. The full capitals being much more +used than the small capitals and being larger than the other letters in +the font, the impression is common that the size is the distinguishing +mark. This erroneous impression has even crept into dictionary +definitions. + +The full capital, which will hereafter be called in this book simply the +capital, is used in combination with lower-case letters or with small +capitals in the same word. The small capital is not used in combination +with lower-case in the same word. We may print GEORGE WASHINGTON, GEORGE +WASHINGTON, GEORGE WASHINGTON, or George Washington, but not George +Washington. + +In manuscript capitals are indicated by three lines under a word or +letter, [Symbol: triple line] and small capitals by two lines [Symbol: +double line]. A single line [Symbol: single underline] indicates that +italics are to be used. + +Originally the writers of manuscripts used capitals for ornament and +variety in the text. They followed no rules but each writer was guided +by his own judgment and sense of beauty. As the use of capitals +gradually became systematized and reduced to rules, different systems +were adopted in different countries. The use of capitals varies greatly +in different languages. Attention will be mainly confined in this book +to the usages followed in the printing of English. Attempts to point out +the various differences to be found in German, French, etc. would only +confuse the young apprentice. + +These rules grow out of a fundamental principle. + +The purpose of capitals is to emphasize the words in which they are +employed. With the exception of the cases of the words _I_ and _O_, +which are capitalized for typographical reasons, this idea of calling +special attention to a word, or words, for one reason or another will be +found to be at the bottom of the variations in usage in different +printing offices and by different writers. The same tendency is +observable here which is so evident in style and in punctuation. Direct +statements, simple sentences as free from involution and complication as +possible, are more and more taking the place of the involved, +complicated, and obscure sentences of old times. The ideal style of +to-day consists of simple words simply arranged. Such a style needs +little pointing. The reader is quite able to find his way through the +paragraph without constant direction. Punctuation marks are directions +at the crossroads of thought. Consequently the punctuation mark is now +much more sparingly used than formerly. + +Just as we have found out that well chosen words can tell their story +with very few marks of interpretation so we have found out that they can +tell their story with very few marks of emphasis. The use of capitals +has decreased greatly during the last two centuries and is constantly +decreasing, and this tendency is likely to go still further. The great +DeVinne whose books on _The Practice of Typography_, written ten to +fifteen years ago, are still of the highest authority was thoroughly +up-to-date in his methods and was remarkable for the restrained and +refined good taste which characterized all his recommendations, but in +some points restraint in the use of capitals has gone even beyond his +precepts. + +It is worth while to remember that the real implement of English speech +is the word, not the point nor the letter form. Just to the extent that +we rely on marks of punctuation and emphasis to convey our meaning we +betray our ignorance of the really significant elements of the language. +The schoolgirl says she "had a _perfectly splendid_ time" at the dance, +when she tells about it in her letter to her dearest friend. If +"perfectly splendid" were a proper term to use in such a connection, +which it is not, the words themselves would carry all the emphasis +possible. Nothing could really be added to them by any typographical +device. In the same way the common use of profanity among ignorant +people probably arises mainly from a feeling that the ordinary words +with which they are familiar are colorless and do not express their +thoughts with sufficient emphasis. + +Just as emphasis in style is difficult when one habitually uses the +strongest words and emphasis in voice is difficult when one habitually +shouts, so emphasis in print is difficult when one habitually uses large +capitals, display type, and italics. Loud printing is as objectionable +as loud talking. + + + + +USE OF FULL CAPITALS + + +General uses: + +1. Use a capital letter to begin every sentence and every word or group +of words punctuated as a sentence. + + _Welcome! We are glad to see you._ + +This rule does not apply to literal reproductions of matter not +originally conforming to it. + +2. Use a capital letter to begin every line of poetry. + + _The Lord hates a quitter, + But he doesn't hate him, son, + When the quitter's quitting something + He shouldn't have begun. [that_ + +This rule does not apply to turned over lines like the third line in the +stanza just preceding. + +3. Use a capital letter to begin every quotation consisting of a +complete sentence. + + _Ben Franklin says, "Honesty is the best policy."_ + _The campaign was "a punitive expedition for the suppression of + brigandage."_ + + +Capitalize: + +1. Names of the Deity, of the members of the Trinity, of the Virgin +Mary, and of the Devil, when a personal devil is referred to. + +When the word devil is used as a general term or as an expletive the +capital is not used. + +2. Nouns and adjectives used to designate the Deity or any member of the +Trinity: + + _the Almighty_, _the Ruler of the Universe_, _the Supreme Architect + of the Universe_, _the Creator_, _Providence_ (personified), + _Heaven_ (personified, e. g., _Heaven forbid!_), _Father_, _Son_, + _Holy Ghost_, _Spirit_, _Messiah_, and the like. + +The following list of words of this sort to be capitalized, taken from +Mr. William Dana Orcutt's _The Writer's Desk Book_ (Frederick A. Stokes, +New York) will be found useful: + + Almighty + Authorized Version + Common Version + Creator + Deity + Father + God + Holy Bible + Holy Spirit + Holy Writ + Jehovah + Jesus Christ + King + Logos + Lord + Messiah + Passover + Pentecost + Redeemer + Revised Version + Sabbath + Saviour + Scriptures + Son of Man + Son + Spirit + The Trinity + The Virgin Mary + Word + +Care needs to be taken with words of this class. Particular attention +should be paid to the wording of rule 2, just given. The same words in +other senses or other connections are not capitalized. _Heaven_ and +_hell_ and derived adjectives are not capitalized in their ordinary +uses: + +Adjectives and other derivatives from these words are not capitalized. +We write _Messiah_, but _messianic_ and _messiahship_; _Christology_ but +_christological_, _fatherhood_, _sonship_, and the like. + +Such words as _deity_, _god_, and the like are not capitalized where any +but the God of the Bible is referred to. + +3. Pronouns referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit in direct +address or where there might otherwise be ambiguity. + +These pronouns are not capitalized in the Bible. They are generally +capitalized in hymn books and books of devotion. These pronouns were +formerly all capitalized as a mark of respect to God whenever there was +any mention of him, even indirect. The tendency is more and more to +eliminate them except in the second person (direct address). In view of +the change now going on it is best to follow copy if the author appears +to have decided preferences. + +4. Books, divisions, and versions of the Bible. + + _Book of Job_, _Twenty-third Psalm_, + _New Testament_, _Revised Version_. + +5. General biblical terms and titles of parables. + + _The Law_, _The Prophets_, _Major and Minor Prophets_ (referring to + the collections of prophetic books), _Lord's Prayer_, _Lord's + Supper_, _Parable of the Prodigal Son_, _the Beatitudes_, _the + Priestly Code_ and many other such terms. + +Use lower-case for _biblical_ and _scriptural_. + +6. Capitalize _Holy_ in _Holy place_ and _Holy of holies_. +Say _Gospel of John_, but speak of the _gospel message_. + +7. The names of religious bodies and their followers. + + _Catholic_, _Protestant_, _Unitarian_, _Methodist_, _Buddhists_, + _Taoists_, _Lamas_. + +8. The names of monastic orders and their followers. + + _Jesuits_, _Brothers of the Common Life_, _Recollets_, _Crutched + Friars_, _Cowley Fathers_. + +9. The word Church when it stands for the Church universal or is a part +of the name of some particular denomination or organization. + + _For salvation he sought the Church._ + _The Church of Rome._ + _The First Presbyterian Church._ + _I was on my way to church._ + _He is a student of church history._ (Note use of lower-case in + this sentence.) + +10. The names of creeds and professions of faith. + + _Apostle's Creed_, _Thirty-nine Articles_, _Nicene Creed_. + +Note that the adjective ante-Nicene is printed as it here appears. + +11. The word "father" when used in direct reference to the fathers of +the church, and to the Pilgrim leaders of New England, and the word +"reformers" when used of the leaders of the Reformation. + + _The ante-Nicene Fathers._ + _Luther, Calvin and the other Reformers._ + +The word "father" is not capitalized when the reference is general, as +in the first sentence of this section. + +The capitalization of "reformer" is intended to distinguish persons +connected with a certain definite historical movement from persons +interested in reform. Many persons might consider that the Reformers +were not reformers. + +12. Names of persons. + + _John Smith,_ + _George V._ + +But write _John o' Groat_, _Tam o' Shanter_, and the like where _o'_ is +an abbreviation of _of_ and not the Gælic _O'_ as _O'Neil_, etc. + +In writing foreign names which contain particles, capitalize the +particles when not preceded by a Christian name or title. + + _Alfred de Musset_ but _De Musset_, + _le Due de Morny_ but _De Morny_, + _Prince von Bismarck_ but _Von Bismarck_. + +By exception the Dutch particle "van" is always capitalized. + + _Van Hoorn_, _Stephen Van Rensselær_. + +13. Epithets appended to proper names or substituted for them. + + _Frederick the Great_ + _Peter the Hermit_ + _William Red Head (Rufus)_ + _the Conqueror_. + +14. Names of races of men. + + _Aryan_, _Caucasian_, etc., but generally _negro_ and _gypsy_, by + exception. + +15. Names of places. + +a. Cities, rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains, etc. + + _Chicago_ + _Mississippi River_ + _Atlantic Ocean_ + _Lake Superior_ + _Pike's Peak_ + _Strawberry Hill_. + +Note that the generic terms ocean, lake, mountain and the like are +capitalized only when they are an actual part of the name itself. We +would say "_The Atlantic Ocean lies east of the United States_," but we +would say "_The states which form the North American republic look out +on two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific._" + +The following tables are taken from _A Manual for Writers_ by John +Matthews Manley and John Arthur Powell (University of Chicago Press, +Chicago). + +Subject to the rule just stated, they will be found very useful. + +Capitalize, in singular form only, when immediately following the name + + Archipelago + Borough + Branch (stream) + Butte + Canyon + County + Crater + Creek + Delta + Forest + Fork + Gap + Glacier + Gulch + Harbor + Head + Hollow + Mesa + Narrows + Ocean + Parish (La.) + Park + Plateau + Range + Reservation + Ridge + River + Run + +Capitalize in singular or plural form when immediately following the +name + + Hill + Island + Mountain + Spring + +Capitalize, in singular form, either before or after the name; and in +plural form before the name + + Bay + Bayou + Camp (military) + Cape + Dalles + Desert + Falls + Fort + Isle + Lake + Mount + Oasis + Pass + Peak + Point + Port + Sea + Strait + Valley + Volcano + +b. Names of streets, squares, parks, buildings, etc. + + _Amsterdam Avenue_ + _Van Buren Street_ + _Independence Square_ + _Lincoln Park_ + _Transportation Building_. + +The same rule as to capitalization of the generic name holds here as in +the preceding section. The usual tendency to drop capitals is at work +here and newspapers now write _Washington street_ and _Federal +building_. It is very probable that the capitals will finally be dropped +from the generic terms wherever used. + +Printers should keep a careful watch on the usage of the best offices so +as to keep advised as to the progress of these changes. + +c. Nouns, and adjectives derived from them designating recognized +geographical divisions of a country or of the world. + + _East_, _West_, _North_, _South_, + _Westerner_, _Oriental_. + +When these words are used in their ordinary significance of mere +direction or location they are not capitalized except that in writing of +Biblical history we speak of the _Northern Kingdom_ and the _Southern +Kingdom_ into which Solomon's territory was split after his death. + +16. Generic terms for political divisions. + +a. When the term is part of the name and directly follows it. + + _Holy Roman Empire_ + _British Empire_ + _Northwest Territory_ + _Queen's County_. + +b. When it is used with the preposition of in such phrases as _Borough +of the Bronx_, _Department of the Gulf_. + +c. When part of a nickname, _The Crescent City_, _the Buckeye State_, +_the City of Brotherly Love_. + +Be careful not to capitalize such words when they are not an actual part +of the name. _French Republic_ is the name of the county, exactly +translating _Republique Francaise_, but _American republic_ is not such +a name. You would write _State of New York_ in a legal document in which +the state would be considered as a corporate person, but in ordinary +references it would be _state of New York_. + +17. The days of the week and the months of the year, but not the seasons +unless personified. + + _Monday the fifth of August._ + _April is the first month of spring._ + _Spring, beautiful Spring._ + +But write _ten o'clock_, _nine a.m._, _ten p.m._ + +18. Festivals and historic or famous days. + + _Easter Day_ + _Fast Day_ + _Independence Day_ + _Black Friday_. + +19. Stars, planets, constellations, and the like, except _sun_, _moon_, +_stars_, _earth_. + + _Mars_, _the Milky Way_, _the Pleiades_. + +20. Ordinal numbers used to designate numbered political divisions, +sessions of Congress, names of regiments, Egyptian dynasties, and the +like. + + _Second Congressional District_, + _First Ward_, _Ninth Precinct_, _Forty-third + Congress_, _Sixth Massachusetts Regiment_, + _Fifth Dynasty_. + +21. Names of genera but not of species: except that in botanical and +zoölogical copy the species may be capitalized if derived from a proper +name. + + _Agaricus campestris_ + _Parkinsonia Torreyana_ + _Pterygomatopus schmidti_, (Medical). + +The English derivatives from these scientific words are not capitalized. +We write of the _agarics_, the _felids_, the _carnivores_, etc. + +22. _Father_, _mother_, and other words denoting relationship when used +with a proper name or without a personal pronoun. + + _I saw Aunt Lucy and Cousin Charles._ + _I saw my aunt Lucy and my cousin Charles._ + _I have received a letter from my mother._ + _I have received a letter from Mother._ + +23. Names of political parties and of philosophical, literary, and +artistic schools, and their adherents. + + _Republican_, _National Liberal_, _Social Democrats_, _Stoics_ (but + _neo-Platonism_, _pseudo-Christianity_, etc.) _the Lake school_, + _the Romantic movement_, _the Symbolic school of painters_. + +24. Political and historical designations which have been much used and +have come to have special significances such as names of leagues, +parties, classes, movements, and the like. + + _Holy Alliance_, _Dreibund_, _Roundheads_, _Independents_, + _Reformation_, _Dissenter_. + +25. Names of well-known historic epochs, periods in the history of +language, and geological ages and strata. The word "age" is not +capitalized except when necessary to avoid ambiguity. + + _Stone age_, _Middle Ages_, _Age of Elizabeth_, _Crusades_, _Commune + (of Paris)_, _Middle English_, _Neolithic_. + +26. Names of important events. + + _Hundred Years War_, _Battle of Trenton_, + _Louisiana Purchase_, _Norman Conquest_. + +27. Names of specific treaties, important laws, and the like. + + _Peace of Amiens_, _Edict of Nantes_, _Concordat_, _Emancipation + Proclamation_, _Fourteenth Amendment_. + +28. Names of governmental bodies and departments and their branches when +specifically designated. + + _Congress_, _the Senate_, _the Board of Aldermen_, _the House of + Commons_, _the Committee on Education_. + +Care must be taken to distinguish between these specific references and +general uses of the same word. + + _The state legislature of Massachusetts is officially termed the + General Court._ + _The matter was referred to the War Department but was sent back on + the ground that it belonged to another department._ + +29. The official titles of corporations, organizations, and +institutions, social, religious, educational, political, business, and +the like. + + _Knights Templars_, _Knights of Columbus_, _Associated Charities_, + _Cook County Normal School_, _Society for the Prevention of Cruelty + to Animals_, _Chicago_, _Rock Island and Pacific Railroad_. + +In long titles, like the last example given, the important words are +capitalized as in book titles (see Sec. 31). Use capitals when referring +to such organizations by initials, _C. R. I. & P. R. R._ Here again it +must be remembered that the capitals are used in specific references +only. + + _The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third + Congregational Church._ + _The young people's societies connected with the Congregational + churches do great good._ + +30. The names of conventions, congresses, expositions, etc. + + _Parliament of Religions_, + _International Peace Congress_, + _Panama-Pacific Exposition_. + +31. The first words, principal words, and last word in English tides of +books and other publications; of their divisions (parts, chapters, +cantos, etc.); of the topics of speeches, sermons, toasts, and the like; +of pictures; of plays; of musical compositions, etc. + +In long titles nouns and pronouns are capitalized always; verbs, +participles, and adverbs usually; articles, prepositions and +conjunctions never. + + _Standard Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases_, _Science and + Health with Key to the Scriptures_, _Lincoln's Gettysburg Address_, + _Paradise Lost_, _Measure for Measure_, _A New Way to Pay Old + Debts_, _The Coronation of Charles VII at Rheims_, _the Moonlight + Sonata_. + +The word "the" is capitalized when it forms an actual part of the title +of a book but not otherwise. + + _The Printer's Dictionary_. _The Life and Times of Charles V._ _the + Review of Reviews_, _the Laacoon_, _the Fifth Symphony_. + +32. Dedications; headings of parts and chapters; headings of many +important minor parts of a book. + + _To All Who Love Good Printing._ + _Chapter Twenty-Seven._ + _Part Three._ + _The Invention of Movable Types._ + _The Practical Value of Gutenberg's Invention._ + (These last as sections of a book on the origin of printing). + +33. In foreign languages the usage is somewhat different. The following +rules will be found useful: + +a. Always capitalize the first word. + +b. In Latin capitalize only proper nouns and adjectives derived +therefrom. + + _Commentarii Cæsaris de bello Gallico._ + +c. In French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian, capitalize +proper names but not adjectives derived therefrom. + + _La vie de Ronsard_; _Histoire de la litterature francaise_, + _Novelle e racconti popolari italiani_, _Antologia de poetas liricos + castellanos_. + +d. In German capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from the +names of persons but not those derived from other proper nouns. + + _Geschichte des deutsches Reich_ + _Die Homerische Frage_. + +e. In Danish capitalize all nouns. + +f. In Dutch capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from proper +nouns. + +34. Titles of ancient manuscripts. + + _Codex Alexandrinus._ + +35. In titles of books, etc. all nouns forming parts of hyphenated +compounds should be capitalized. + +36. In side heads capitalize the first word and proper nouns only. + +37. Personal titles as follows: + +a. Titles preceding a name and so forming part of it. + + _King George V._ + _Pope Benedict XV._ + _Duke William of Aquitaine._ + +But not otherwise. + + _Woodrow Wilson_, _president of the United States_, _the emperor of + Germany_, _the present king of Spain is Alfonso XIII_. + +b. Titles used in place of the name with reference to a particular +person or to the present holder of an office. + + _I hope when in Rome to see the Pope._ + _He hoped some day to become pope._ + +c. Familiar names applied to a particular person. + + _the Father of his Country._ + _Unser Fritz._ + _the Little Corporal._ + +d. Orders of knighthood and titles attached to them. + + _Knight of the Garter_, + _Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George_. + +e. Titles used in direct address. + + _Good morning, Mr. President._ + +f. Academic degrees in abbreviated form following a name. + + _David Starr Jordan, Ph. D., LL. D._ + +So also letters following a name indicating membership of certain +scientific and artistic organizations. + + _F. R. G. S._ (Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society). + _R. A._ (Member of the Royal Academy). + +So also in the United States and Great Britain, _M. C._ (Member of +Congress) and _M. P._ (Member of Parliament). + +Where a person has many titles the following of this rule involves +certain difficulties. Such a name as + + _John Smith, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., L. H. D., D. C. L., LL. D._ is by + no means impossible. + +In such a case the titles become much more prominent than the name and +the page is disfigured by the spotty appearance of the text. Small +capitals may sometimes be used with good effect in such a case but this +should not be done without obtaining proper permission. + +The difficulty of handling these long and numerous titles in the +composition of title pages is sometimes considerable. Three methods of +dealing with the difficulty are open. + +a. The honorary titles may be put in capitals regardless of the +unsightly appearance of the line. + +b. The honorary titles may be put in a small size of the same face and +justified in the line. This lessens the undue prominence of the titles, +but puts the line out of balance. + +c. The honorary titles may be put in a separate line, or lines, below +the name, set in small type, and spelled out in full. It is not +necessary to capitalize _jr._ and _sr._ in lower-case text matter unless +so desired by the author. + +In compound titles capitalize each word if it would be capitalized +separately. + + _Major General Leonard Wood_, + _Chief Justice Taney_, + _Commander-in-Chief Field_ + _Marshal Sir John French_. + +38. Names of things personified. + + _Nature_, _Vice_, _Thrift_, and the like. + +39. Adjectives derived from proper nouns. + + _The Elizabethan age._ + _Roman law._ + +Such adjectives and even proper nouns themselves lose the capital when +they are applied as trade or scientific names to articles of common use +or reference. + + _roman type_, _india ink_, _chinese white_, _volt_, _watt_, + _boycott_, _platonic_, _bohemian_. + +40. The first word of a direct quotation. + + _As he turned to go he said: "Farewell, we shall never meet again."_ + +41. The first word after "Whereas" and "Resolved" in resolutions. + + _WHEREAS. It has pleased God...._ + _therefore be it + RESOLVED, That...._ + +42. The first word after a colon when the colon introduces a logically +complete phrase not very closely connected with what precedes. + + _My conclusion is: A policy of consistent neutrality is the only + proper one for the country._ + _As the proverb well says: Beware the anger of a patient man._ + +43. _O_ interjection, but not _oh_ unless it begins a sentence. + +In Latin sentences of exclamation, denunciation or appeal the lower-case +_o_ is used. + + _O tempora, o mores temporum._ + +44. The first personal pronoun _I_ wherever it occurs. + +45. Emphasized words. + + _We stand for Liberty and Union._ + +This use should be avoided except for advertising display, or job work. + + _We call attention to our Stock of + Boots, Shoes, and Furnishings._ + + + + +SMALL CAPITALS + + +The use of small capitals presents its own peculiar problems to the +printer. The small capital has the form of the large capital but without +its size and conspicuousness. The small capitals are ordinarily no +taller than the round letters of the lower-case. They are usually on a +smaller set, with a lighter face and obscured by more connecting lines. +In many fonts of type they are really the weakest and least +distinguished of all the five series. Wide enough to cover the body of +the type fairly thoroughly in most letters and thus to reduce the +apparent space between letters, without ascenders and without +descenders, they are very monotonous and singularly ineffective when +used in any considerable quantity. When used in masses it is at times +even difficult to read them. + +The use of small capitals is quite different from that of large ones. +For the reasons just given they are not suited to display. For this +purpose they are no better than italics, if as good. Owing to their lack +of striking appearance and commanding quality they are not used for +emphasis. Display and emphasis it will be remembered are the two +principal uses of the full capital. + +Small capitals are used more for variety than for display. They are +commonly used for: + + Side heads + + Running titles + + Catch lines of title pages when particular display is not desired. + +They are sometimes used for the first word after a blank line, +especially for the first word of a new chapter. + +Long quotations of poetry are often printed with the first word in small +capitals. In this, as in the preceding case, the whole word is printed +in small capitals except the first letter which is a full capital. + +Proper names standing at the beginning of a chapter, occasionally even +of a paragraph, are sometimes spelled in capitals or small capitals. If +small capitals are used the initials of the name are put in full +capitals. + +Until within a comparatively short time tables of contents were often +set in small capitals. At the same time it was customary to give a +fairly full synopsis of the contents of each chapter under the chapter +head. The result was a very monotonous page, dull, dense, hard to read. +It is much better and now more common to use small caps for the chapter +heads and ordinary text type for abstracts, using dashes or dots to +separate the phrases in the synopsis and beginning each phrase with a +capital. + +The following reproduction of a part of a page from the table of +contents of DeVinne's _Modern Methods of Book Composition_ shows this +method of treatment. + + CONTENTS + +Chapter Page + + I EQUIPMENT 1 + + Types...Stands...Cases...Case-racks. + + II EQUIPMENT 39 + + Galleys and galley-racks...Compositors' implements + Brass rules and cases for labor-saving rule and leads + Dashes and braces...Leads...Furniture of wood and + of metal...Furniture-racks...Quotations and electrotype + guards. + +III COMPOSITION 75 + + Time-work and piece-work...Customary routine + on book-work...Justification...Spacing and leading + Distribution...Composition by hand and machine + Proper methods of hand work...Recent mannerisms. + + IV COMPOSITION OF BOOKS 111 + + Title-page...Preface matter...Chapter headings and + synopsis...Subheadings...Extracts...Notes and il- + lustrations...Running titles and paging at head or at + foot Poetry...Appendix and index...Initials...Headbands, + etc. + +Where chapter synopses are not given, ordinary text type may be used for +the table of contents. + +The following reproduction of the table of contents of DeVinne's +_Correct Composition_ shows this method of treatment. + + CONTENTS + +CHAPTER PAGE + Preface vii + + I Spelling 5 + + II Abbreviations 33 + + III Compound Words 61 + + IV Figures and Numerals 76 + + V Italic 94 + + VI Capital Letters 108 + + VII Division of Words 128 + + VIII Small Capitals 145 + + IX Extracts and Letters 157 + + X Notes 171 + + XI Indention 182 + + XII Spacing 198 + + XIII Quotation-marks 209 + + XIV Subheadings 230 + + XV Punctuation 241 + + XVI Proof-reading 294 + + XVII About Copy 327 + + XVIII Errors of the Press 345 + + Appendix 359 + + Index 447 + +Small capitals are best for subheads when of not more than two lines. If +the subheads are longer it is best to use lower-case. + +Signatures and credits are often put in small capitals. It is usually, +however, better to use italics for the purpose. There is no need of a +dash to connect the name with the quotation. When two or more quotations +from the same author are used as mottoes, with reference to the works +from which they are taken or the occasion on which they were said, the +name of the author may be put in small capitals in a separate line, the +name of the book or speech in italics, and the occasion in smaller roman +type. + +Numerous signatures to a document or petition, such as the _Mayflower +Compact_ or the _Declaration of Independence_, are often set in columns +using capitals for the initials and small capitals for the rest of the +name. Full capitals are too large for the purpose. + + We therefore, the Commissioners for the Massachusetts, Connecticut, + and New Haven, do also, for our several governments, subscribe unto + these. + + JOHN WINTHROP, Governor of the Massachusetts + THOMAS DUDLEY THEOPHILUS EATON + GEORGE FENWICK EDWARD HOPKINS + THOMAS GREGSON + +Dedications of books are commonly set in small capitals. As these +dedicatory formulas are ordinarily brief there should be wide leading, +good display, and care as to margins. The author will often give very +definite specifications as to the arrangement of his copy in lines, and +this will sometimes cause difficulty, occasionally compelling the use of +too small type. The author's specifications must be followed if he +adheres to them. + +Small capitals are much favored for running titles of pages. Full +capitals are much more effective and are to be preferred where the words +are few. Small capitals of 12 or 14 point body are distinct but smaller +sizes are crowded and hard to read. This difficulty can sometimes be +remedied by hair spacing. Over spacing of such lines is objectionable +though it has sometimes prevailed as a temporary fashion. + +Small capitals used in running titles are exposed to heavy wear and +their shallow counters are liable to get choked up with ink. Capitals of +the monotint or of a light-faced antique are sometimes selected for +books frequently reprinted where the wear on the exposed running titles +is very severe. + +In reprinting letters it is common to use small capitals for the name of +the place from which the letter was written, for the name of the +addressee, and for the signature. In job and advertising work the name +of the month and day and date are generally put in lower-case of the +text letter. This rule is not followed, however, in books. When the +heading of the letter is very long lower-case letters are preferable to +small capitals under the general rules of taste which govern the use of +types. The salutation, _Dear Sir_, _Gentlemen_, or the like, does not +need small capitals. It is better printed in italic lower-case with a +colon (not followed by a dash) at the end. If the matter is double +leaded the salutation may go in a line by itself, otherwise conforming +to the rules just given. + +Reprints of formal inscriptions on tablets and the like are often made +in small capitals surrounded by a border. There should be a good relief +of white space between the type and the border. + +In the Bible and in hymn books the words LORD and GOD are usually set +with full capital initial and the rest of the word in small capitals. + +This is, of course, a method of showing veneration and at one time it +was customary to print all names of spiritual or temporal dignitaries +and magnates or even ordinary names in small capitals. This practice +still lingers in a few newspapers which print the names of persons, even +those of small consequence, in small capitals, especially on the +editorial page. + +The tendency is steady toward the discriminating use of capitals, small +capitals, and italics. More and more we restrict the use of marks of +emphasis to the really necessary places leaving the words to tell their +story without outside aid. + + + + +SUGGESTIONS AS TO TYPOGRAPHIC USE OF CAPITALS + + +Capitals are too strong to be used with Arabic numerals. This fault of +proportion is increased by the custom of casting Arabic numerals on an +en body for table work, making them only half as thick as the type. Full +capitals may be used with full figures the width of an ordinary letter. +Condensed capitals may be used with en body numerals. + +If old-style capitals and figures are required in the same line use +figures about one-half larger in body than the capitals and justify them +to the line. + +It is this difficulty in combining capitals and Arabic numerals in the +same line that causes the extensive use of Roman numerals in chapter +numbers, numbers of other headings, dates on title pages, and the like. + +When a large initial three or four lines high is used for the first +letter of a new chapter, large capitals are sometimes used, although +such usage is not free from the reproach of looking too much like +newspaper advertising. When this initial is a two line letter it should +be in alignment with the small capitals of the upper line and the base +line of the text letter of the lower line. + +[Illustration: +AMONG the earliest methods of communicating +ideas to the absent pictures +hold the largest place.] + +[Illustration: THERE comes a tide in the affairs of men which, +taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.] + +Care should be taken not to compact capitals. Use wider leading and +broader spacing than for lower-case; for example, where you would use +one lead between lower-case lines you should use two or three between +lines of capitals. + +Capitals occupy more of the type-body than lower-case letters and +consequently words or lines set entirely with capitals need wider +spacing and leading than the lower-case to make composition readable. +When lines of roman capitals are set solid or single-leaded the en-quad +will usually be enough space between words especially if the words are +short; but for wide-leaded lines and head-lines double spaces (two +three-to-em) will be needed. A head-line of round, open capitals may +even need em-quad spaces. Wide letter words require wide spaces and +words of thin or condensed letters require thin spaces. + +[Illustration: +UNITED TYPOTHETAE +OF AMERICA + +UNITED TYPOTHETAE +OF AMERICA] + +Words which begin or end with A Y L V W T may need spaces a little less +than those with H I M, etc. In small types the inequalities in white +space beside or between combinations like L Y A T W and letters with +regular shape like H I M N, may not be readily noticed, but in large +sizes of capitals these differences are greatly increased and will often +make unequal white spaces in a line with uniform metal spaces. In some +styles of types a line may need unequal metal spaces in order to space +the words evenly. + +(Marks indicate insertion of spaces.) + +[Illustration: TEN MAIL TRAINS] + + This line has en-quads between the words, but the forms + of L and T make the white space greater than + between the first and second words. + +[Illustration: TEN MAI'L TRAI'N'S] + + This line has an en-quad in first space and three-to-em + in the second, with hair-spaces between some + letters of the words. + +So, also, it will often be necessary to insert pieces of paper, card, or +thin leads between the letters of a word in large display, in order to +make them evenly spaced, as shown in these examples: + +(Marks indicate insertion of spaces.) + +[Illustration: +PLAINLY +PLAI'N'LY +UNEVENLY SPACED +EVE'N'LY S'PA'C'E'D] + +This differential spacing in a line of capitals will also be required in +a line having abbreviations or initials. The following line, spaced with +en-quads throughout, has unnecessarily wide spaces between the initials: + +[Illustration: JOHN ENDICOTT LODGE, A. O. U. W.] + +Spaced with four-to-em in the last three places, it is improved: + +[Illustration: JOHN ENDICOTT LODGE, A. O. U. W.] + +Capitals used as initials of titles and for other abbreviations, with +the accompanying periods, should be thin-spaced or set close together, +as shown in the second of these examples: + +[Illustration: +GEORGE MARKHAM, D. D., PH. D. +GEORGE MARKHAM, D.D., PH.D. +JOHN FLINT, M. D. V., BOSTON, U. S. A. +JOHN FLINT, M.D.V., BOSTON, U.S.A.] + +Two or more lines of capitals of the same size should be spaced as +nearly alike as possible. These three lines are so disproportionately +spaced that they are not pleasing: + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION +B O S T O N +MASSACHUSETTS] + +The squaring up is arbitrary and strained. The lines are better like +this: + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION + BOSTON +MASSACHUSETTS] + +But if it is necessary to square up lines and no additional words or +letters can be inserted the short line may be filled with florets or +other characters which should not be bolder than the type itself and +should be of a style to harmonize with it as nearly as possible. + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION +*** BOSTON *** +MASSACHUSETTS] + +The extra wide spacing of words set in capitals, as in head-lines and +running-heads, should be avoided by the young compositor; there are +places where it may be unobjectionable but it will require good judgment +and some experience to prevent such lines making the page look freakish +or amateurish. + +In jobbing, advertisement, and display work, capitals are used more +freely than in plain reading matter. In book work the practice is to use +capitals more freely than in newspaper composition. A study of the +reading columns of daily newspapers will discover that capitals are used +very sparingly and words are "kept down" in many cases which in more +formal book and pamphlet work would be capitalized. + +In advertisements, announcements, and circular letters, words are often +capitalized for distinction or emphasis, as in these examples: + + Those who win a Second or First Prize through a monthly or special + contest become Honor Members of the Guild, and receive the Guild + badge without charge. + + You are cordially invited to attend the Spring Opening of Suits and + Outside Garments for Women, on Wednesday and Thursday, April 28 and + 29, in our new Mason Street Annex. + +Precise rules for the use of capitals cannot be given for work of all +kinds. Their insertion or omission will be governed greatly by the +subject matter and the style of treatment desired by the proof-reader or +the customer and the compositor's duty will not go further than to +maintain some consistency in their use in each piece of work. When he +has copy in which capitals are used as in the following example he will +be expected either to discard all capitals except at the beginning of +the sentences or to capitalize the words as in the second example: + + Fifty styles of the Smartest and nobbiest wheel specialties for + ponies and Small horses, Pony carts, light horse novelties, traps, + wagons, Harness, Saddles, etc. + + Fifty Styles of the Smartest and Nobbiest Wheel Specialties for + Ponies and Small Horses, Pony Carts, Light Horse Novelties, Traps, + Wagons, Harness, Saddles, etc. + +In lines of large display, like head-lines, set in capitals and +lower-case, all the important words should begin with capitals. +Unimportant words, such as _of_, _the_, _by_, _for_, _but_, _in_, etc., +except when they are at the beginning of the displayed phrase, are not +capitalized. + + Notice to the Public + The Best is the Cheapest + A Great Bargain in Hats + By Right of Conquest + For Love and Honor + +A line of capitals containing an abbreviation or other short word should +have capitals throughout when possible, as in the second form of these +examples: + + JOHN SMITH, Jr. JOHN SMITH, JR. + ROBINSON & Co. ROBINSON & CO. + +In advertisement display lines like the following are permissible: + + The GOLDEN HARVESTER + REGAL SHOES _for_ MEN + +Combinations of different sizes and styles of types are also common and +serve their purpose properly, as in this style, often used in billheads, +etc. + + TO THOMAS W. ABBOTT, DR. + _In account with_ FRANK ABBOTT + +Combinations of large and small capitals and lower-case like the +following are, however, not approved: + + WILLIAM BROWN, President + +The words in small capitals as well as the word in lower-case should +begin with large capitals, like this: + + WILLIAM BROWN, President + +When lines of capitals are used in books and pamphlets, for headings and +display, they should be used consistently--that is, all headings of a +similar kind should be alike in any piece of work, and not one heading +in capitals and another in lower-case. The composition of a title page +is more pleasing when its chief lines are in one style of letters, +giving a harmonious effect. When lines of capitals and lines of +lower-case are interspersed in a page an appearance of confusion is +liable to be the result. + + + + +SUPPLEMENTARY READING + + +A Manual for Writers.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

Capitals +were originally derived from the stiff and angular letters +used in formal inscriptions. Originally all writing was +done in capitals. Later the scribes devised less formal shapes +for the letters, making use of lines more easily made by brush +or pen on papyrus, parchment, or paper. The capitals were +retained for certain uses but the less formal shapes were +employed to do the greater part of the work. These less +formal letters have been known by several names. They +will be referred to here by that under which they are known +to modern printers, “lower-case.”</p> + +<p>A further modification of the letter came with the introduction +of the sloping, or italic letter. This received its +name from its place of origin, Italy. It was introduced by +Nicholas Jenson, a printer of Venice, and was an imitation +of the handwriting of the Italian poet Petrarch. Originally +it was used only for the lower-case and was combined with +the older form of capital letters, called roman, also from +the place of its origin. Later the italic characteristics +were given to capitals as well as lower-case letters.</p> + +<p>An ordinary font of book type contains five series of letters: +full capitals, small capitals, italic capitals (full size), +roman lower-case, and italic lower-case. The full capital, +roman or italic, is larger than the other letters of the font, +every letter being as high as the lower-case ascenders. The +small capital is only as high as the lower-case round letters. +Larger capitals still are sometimes used as chapter initials +and the like.</p> + +<p>It will be observed that the distinction between capital +and lower-case letters is one of form, not of size. The full +capitals being much more used than the small capitals and +being larger than the other letters in the font, the impression<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span> +is common that the size is the distinguishing mark. +This erroneous impression has even crept into dictionary +definitions.</p> + +<p>The full capital, which will hereafter be called in this book +simply the capital, is used in combination with lower-case +letters or with small capitals in the same word. The small +capital is not used in combination with lower-case in the +same word. We may print GEORGE WASHINGTON, +<span class="smcap">George Washington</span>, <span class="smcap lowercase">GEORGE WASHINGTON</span>, or George +Washington, but not <span class="smcap">g</span>eorge <span class="smcap">w</span>ashington.</p> + +<p>In manuscript capitals are indicated by three lines under +a word or letter, <img src="images/iltriple.gif" width="30" height="15" alt="triple line" title="triple line" /> + and small capitals by two lines <img src="images/ildouble.gif" width="30" height="15" alt="double line" title="double line" />. +A single line <img src="images/ilsingle.gif" width="30" height="15" alt="single line" title="single line" /> indicates that italics are to +be used.</p> + +<p>Originally the writers of manuscripts used capitals for +ornament and variety in the text. They followed no rules +but each writer was guided by his own judgment and sense +of beauty. As the use of capitals gradually became systematized +and reduced to rules, different systems were adopted +in different countries. The use of capitals varies greatly in +different languages. Attention will be mainly confined in +this book to the usages followed in the printing of English. +Attempts to point out the various differences to be found +in German, French, etc. would only confuse the young +apprentice.</p> + +<p>These rules grow out of a fundamental principle.</p> + +<p>The purpose of capitals is to emphasize the words in +which they are employed. With the exception of the cases +of the words <i>I</i> and <i>O</i>, which are capitalized for typographical +reasons, this idea of calling special attention to a word, +or words, for one reason or another will be found to be at +the bottom of the variations in usage in different printing +offices and by different writers. The same tendency is +observable here which is so evident in style and in punctuation. +Direct statements, simple sentences as free from involution +and complication as possible, are more and more +taking the place of the involved, complicated, and obscure +sentences of old times. The ideal style of to-day consists +of simple words simply arranged. Such a style needs little<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span> +pointing. The reader is quite able to find his way through +the paragraph without constant direction. Punctuation +marks are directions at the crossroads of thought. Consequently +the punctuation mark is now much more sparingly +used than formerly.</p> + +<p>Just as we have found out that well chosen words can +tell their story with very few marks of interpretation so we +have found out that they can tell their story with very few +marks of emphasis. The use of capitals has decreased +greatly during the last two centuries and is constantly +decreasing, and this tendency is likely to go still further. +The great DeVinne whose books on <i>The Practice of +Typography</i>, written ten to fifteen years ago, are still of the +highest authority was thoroughly up-to-date in his methods +and was remarkable for the restrained and refined good +taste which characterized all his recommendations, but in +some points restraint in the use of capitals has gone even +beyond his precepts.</p> + +<p>It is worth while to remember that the real implement +of English speech is the word, not the point nor the letter +form. Just to the extent that we rely on marks of punctuation +and emphasis to convey our meaning we betray our +ignorance of the really significant elements of the language. +The schoolgirl says she “had a <i>perfectly splendid</i> time” at +the dance, when she tells about it in her letter to her dearest +friend. If “perfectly splendid” were a proper term to +use in such a connection, which it is not, the words themselves +would carry all the emphasis possible. Nothing could +really be added to them by any typographical device. In +the same way the common use of profanity among ignorant +people probably arises mainly from a feeling that the +ordinary words with which they are familiar are colorless +and do not express their thoughts with sufficient emphasis.</p> + +<p>Just as emphasis in style is difficult when one habitually +uses the strongest words and emphasis in voice is difficult +when one habitually shouts, so emphasis in print is difficult +when one habitually uses large capitals, display type, and +italics. Loud printing is as objectionable as loud talking.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="USE_OF_FULL_CAPITALS" id="USE_OF_FULL_CAPITALS"></a>USE OF FULL CAPITALS</h2> + + +<p>General uses:</p> + +<p>1.

Names of the Deity, of the members of the Trinity, of +the Virgin Mary, and of the Devil, when a personal +devil is referred to.</p> + +<p>When the word devil is used as a general term or as +an expletive the capital is not used.</p> + +<p>2.

The small capital has the form of +the large capital but without its size and conspicuousness. +The small capitals are ordinarily no taller than the round +letters of the lower-case. They are usually on a smaller set, +with a lighter face and obscured by more connecting lines. +In many fonts of type they are really the weakest and least +distinguished of all the five series. Wide enough to cover +the body of the type fairly thoroughly in most letters and +thus to reduce the apparent space between letters, without +ascenders and without descenders, they are very monotonous +and singularly ineffective when used in any considerable +quantity. When used in masses it is at times even +difficult to read them.</p> + +<p>The use of small capitals is quite different from that +of large ones. For the reasons just given they are not +suited to display. For this purpose they are no better +than italics, if as good. Owing to their lack of striking +appearance and commanding quality they are not used for +emphasis. Display and emphasis it will be remembered +are the two principal uses of the full capital.</p> + +<p>Small capitals are used more for variety than for display. +They are commonly used for:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>Side heads</p> + +<p>Running titles</p> + +<p>Catch lines of title pages when +particular display is not desired.</p></div> + +<p>They are sometimes used for the first word after a blank +line, especially for the first word of a new chapter.</p> + +<p>Long quotations of poetry are often printed with the first +word in small capitals. In this, as in the preceding case,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span> +the whole word is printed in small capitals except the first +letter which is a full capital.</p> + +<p>Proper names standing at the beginning of a chapter, +occasionally even of a paragraph, are sometimes spelled in +capitals or small capitals. If small capitals are used the +initials of the name are put in full capitals.</p> + +<p>Until within a comparatively short time tables of contents +were often set in small capitals. At the same time +it was customary to give a fairly full synopsis of the contents +of each chapter under the chapter head. The result +was a very monotonous page, dull, dense, hard to read. +It is much better and now more common to use small caps +for the chapter heads and ordinary text type for abstracts, +using dashes or dots to separate the phrases in the synopsis +and beginning each phrase with a capital.</p> + +<p>The following reproduction of a part of a page from the +table of contents of DeVinne’s <i>Modern

more +than two lines. If the subheads are longer it is best to use +lower-case.</p> + +<p>Signatures and credits are often put in small capitals. +It is usually, however, better to use italics for the purpose. +There is no need of a dash to connect the name with the +quotation. When two or more quotations from the same +author are used as mottoes, with reference to the works +from which they are taken or the occasion on which they +were said, the name of the author may be put in small +capitals in a separate line, the name of the book or speech +in italics, and the occasion in smaller roman type.</p> + +<p>Numerous signatures to a document or petition, such as +the <i>Mayflower Compact</i> or the <i>Declaration of Independence</i>, are +often set in columns using capitals for the initials and small +capitals for the rest of the name.

The author’s specifications must be +followed if he adheres to them.</p> + +<p>Small capitals are much favored for running titles of pages. +Full capitals are much more effective and are to be preferred +where the words are few. Small capitals of 12 or 14 point +body are distinct but smaller sizes are crowded and hard to +read. This difficulty can sometimes be remedied by hair +spacing. Over spacing of such lines is objectionable though +it has sometimes prevailed as a temporary fashion.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span> +Small capitals used in running titles are exposed to heavy +wear and their shallow counters are liable to get choked up +with ink. Capitals of the monotint or of a light-faced +antique are sometimes selected for books frequently reprinted +where the wear on the exposed running titles is +very severe.</p> + +<p>In reprinting letters it is common to use small capitals +for the name of the place from which the letter was written, +for the name of the addressee, and for the signature. In +job and advertising work the name of the month and day +and date are generally put in lower-case of the text letter. +This rule is not followed, however, in books. When the +heading of the letter is very long lower-case letters are preferable +to small capitals under the general rules of taste +which govern the use of types. The salutation, <i>Dear Sir</i>, +<i>Gentlemen</i>, or the like, does not need small capitals. It is +better printed in italic lower-case with a colon (not followed +by a dash) at the end. If the matter is double leaded the +salutation may go in a line by itself, otherwise conforming +to the rules just given.</p> + +<p>Reprints of formal inscriptions on tablets and the like +are often made in small capitals surrounded by a border. +There should be a good relief of white space between the +type and the border.</p> + +<p>In the Bible and in hymn books the words <span class="smcap">Lord</span> and +<span class="smcap">God</span> are usually set with full capital initial and the rest of +the word in small capitals.</p> + +<p>This is, of course, a method of showing veneration and +at one time it was customary to print all names of spiritual +or temporal dignitaries and magnates or even ordinary +names in small capitals. This practice still lingers in a few +newspapers which print the names of persons, even those +of small consequence, in small capitals, especially on the +editorial page.</p> + +<p>The tendency is steady toward the discriminating use of +capitals, small capitals, and italics. More and more we restrict +the use of marks of emphasis to the really necessary +places leaving the words to tell their story without outside +aid.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[22]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="SUGGESTIONS_AS_TO_TYPOGRAPHIC" id="SUGGESTIONS_AS_TO_TYPOGRAPHIC"></a>SUGGESTIONS AS TO TYPOGRAPHIC +USE OF CAPITALS</h2> + + +<p>Capitals are too strong to be used with Arabic numerals. +This fault of proportion is increased by the +custom of casting Arabic numerals on an en body for table +work, making them only half as thick as the type. Full capitals +may be used with full figures the width of an ordinary letter. +Condensed capitals may be used with en body numerals.</p> + +<p>If old-style capitals and figures are required in the same +line use figures about one-half larger in body than the capitals +and justify them to the line.</p> + +<p>It is this difficulty in combining capitals and Arabic numerals +in the same line that causes the extensive use of +Roman numerals in chapter numbers, numbers of other +headings, dates on title pages, and the like.</p> + +<p>When a large initial three or four lines high is used for +the first letter of a new chapter, large capitals are sometimes +used, although such usage is not free from the reproach of +looking too much like newspaper advertising.

A head-line of +round, open capitals may even need em-quad spaces. Wide +letter words require wide spaces and words of thin or condensed +letters require thin spaces.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 592px;"> +<img src="images/il002.png" width="592" height="220" alt="Spacing when using capitals examples" title="Spacing when using capitals examples" /> +</div> + +<p>Words which begin or end with A Y L V W T may +need spaces a little less than those with H I M, etc. In +small types the inequalities in white space beside or between +combinations like L Y A T W and letters with +regular shape like H I M N, may not be readily noticed, +but in large sizes of capitals these differences are greatly +increased and will often make unequal white spaces in a +line with uniform metal spaces.

Capitals were originally +derived from the stiff and angular letters used in formal inscriptions. +Originally all writing was done in capitals. Later the scribes devised +less formal shapes for the letters, making use of lines more easily made +by brush or pen on papyrus, parchment, or paper. The capitals were +retained for certain uses but the less formal shapes were employed to do +the greater part of the work. These less formal letters have been known +by several names. They will be referred to here by that under which they +are known to modern printers, "lower-case." + +A further modification of the letter came with the introduction of the +sloping, or italic letter. This received its name from its place of +origin, Italy. It was introduced by Nicholas Jenson, a printer of +Venice, and was an imitation of the handwriting of the Italian poet +Petrarch. Originally it was used only for the lower-case and was +combined with the older form of capital letters, called roman, also from +the place of its origin. Later the italic characteristics were given to +capitals as well as lower-case letters. + +An ordinary font of book type contains five series of letters: full +capitals, small capitals, italic capitals (full size), roman lower-case, +and italic lower-case. The full capital, roman or italic, is larger than +the other letters of the font, every letter being as high as the +lower-case ascenders. The small capital is only as high as the +lower-case round letters. Larger capitals still are sometimes used as +chapter initials and the like. + +It will be observed that the distinction between capital and lower-case +letters is one of form, not of size. The full capitals being much more +used than the small capitals and being larger than the other letters in +the font, the impression is common that the size is the distinguishing +mark. This erroneous impression has even crept into dictionary +definitions. + +The full capital, which will hereafter be called in this book simply the +capital, is used in combination with lower-case letters or with small +capitals in the same word. The small capital is not used in combination +with lower-case in the same word. We may print GEORGE WASHINGTON, GEORGE +WASHINGTON, GEORGE WASHINGTON, or George Washington, but not George +Washington. + +In manuscript capitals are indicated by three lines under a word or +letter, [Symbol: triple line] and small capitals by two lines [Symbol: +double line]. A single line [Symbol: single underline] indicates that +italics are to be used. + +Originally the writers of manuscripts used capitals for ornament and +variety in the text. They followed no rules but each writer was guided +by his own judgment and sense of beauty. As the use of capitals +gradually became systematized and reduced to rules, different systems +were adopted in different countries. The use of capitals varies greatly +in different languages. Attention will be mainly confined in this book +to the usages followed in the printing of English. Attempts to point out +the various differences to be found in German, French, etc. would only +confuse the young apprentice. + +These rules grow out of a fundamental principle. + +The purpose of capitals is to emphasize the words in which they are +employed. With the exception of the cases of the words _I_ and _O_, +which are capitalized for typographical reasons, this idea of calling +special attention to a word, or words, for one reason or another will be +found to be at the bottom of the variations in usage in different +printing offices and by different writers. The same tendency is +observable here which is so evident in style and in punctuation. Direct +statements, simple sentences as free from involution and complication as +possible, are more and more taking the place of the involved, +complicated, and obscure sentences of old times. The ideal style of +to-day consists of simple words simply arranged. Such a style needs +little pointing. The reader is quite able to find his way through the +paragraph without constant direction. Punctuation marks are directions +at the crossroads of thought. Consequently the punctuation mark is now +much more sparingly used than formerly. + +Just as we have found out that well chosen words can tell their story +with very few marks of interpretation so we have found out that they can +tell their story with very few marks of emphasis. The use of capitals +has decreased greatly during the last two centuries and is constantly +decreasing, and this tendency is likely to go still further. The great +DeVinne whose books on _The Practice of Typography_, written ten to +fifteen years ago, are still of the highest authority was thoroughly +up-to-date in his methods and was remarkable for the restrained and +refined good taste which characterized all his recommendations, but in +some points restraint in the use of capitals has gone even beyond his +precepts. + +It is worth while to remember that the real implement of English speech +is the word, not the point nor the letter form. Just to the extent that +we rely on marks of punctuation and emphasis to convey our meaning we +betray our ignorance of the really significant elements of the language. +The schoolgirl says she "had a _perfectly splendid_ time" at the dance, +when she tells about it in her letter to her dearest friend. If +"perfectly splendid" were a proper term to use in such a connection, +which it is not, the words themselves would carry all the emphasis +possible. Nothing could really be added to them by any typographical +device. In the same way the common use of profanity among ignorant +people probably arises mainly from a feeling that the ordinary words +with which they are familiar are colorless and do not express their +thoughts with sufficient emphasis. + +Just as emphasis in style is difficult when one habitually uses the +strongest words and emphasis in voice is difficult when one habitually +shouts, so emphasis in print is difficult when one habitually uses large +capitals, display type, and italics. Loud printing is as objectionable +as loud talking. + + + + +USE OF FULL CAPITALS + + +General uses: + +1. Use a capital letter to begin every sentence and every word or group +of words punctuated as a sentence. + + _Welcome! We are glad to see you._ + +This rule does not apply to literal reproductions of matter not +originally conforming to it. + +2. Use a capital letter to begin every line of poetry. + + _The Lord hates a quitter, + But he doesn't hate him, son, + When the quitter's quitting something + He shouldn't have begun. [that_ + +This rule does not apply to turned over lines like the third line in the +stanza just preceding. + +3. Use a capital letter to begin every quotation consisting of a +complete sentence. + + _Ben Franklin says, "Honesty is the best policy."_ + _The campaign was "a punitive expedition for the suppression of + brigandage."_ + + +Capitalize: + +1. Names of the Deity, of the members of the Trinity, of the Virgin +Mary, and of the Devil, when a personal devil is referred to. + +When the word devil is used as a general term or as an expletive the +capital is not used. + +2. Nouns and adjectives used to designate the Deity or any member of the +Trinity: + + _the Almighty_, _the Ruler of the Universe_, _the Supreme Architect + of the Universe_, _the Creator_, _Providence_ (personified), + _Heaven_ (personified, e. g., _Heaven forbid!_), _Father_, _Son_, + _Holy Ghost_, _Spirit_, _Messiah_, and the like. + +The following list of words of this sort to be capitalized, taken from +Mr. William Dana Orcutt's _The Writer's Desk Book_ (Frederick A. Stokes, +New York) will be found useful: + + Almighty + Authorized Version + Common Version + Creator + Deity + Father + God + Holy Bible + Holy Spirit + Holy Writ + Jehovah + Jesus Christ + King + Logos + Lord + Messiah + Passover + Pentecost + Redeemer + Revised Version + Sabbath + Saviour + Scriptures + Son of Man + Son + Spirit + The Trinity + The Virgin Mary + Word + +Care needs to be taken with words of this class. Particular attention +should be paid to the wording of rule 2, just given. The same words in +other senses or other connections are not capitalized. _Heaven_ and +_hell_ and derived adjectives are not capitalized in their ordinary +uses: + +Adjectives and other derivatives from these words are not capitalized. +We write _Messiah_, but _messianic_ and _messiahship_; _Christology_ but +_christological_, _fatherhood_, _sonship_, and the like. + +Such words as _deity_, _god_, and the like are not capitalized where any +but the God of the Bible is referred to. + +3. Pronouns referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit in direct +address or where there might otherwise be ambiguity. + +These pronouns are not capitalized in the Bible. They are generally +capitalized in hymn books and books of devotion. These pronouns were +formerly all capitalized as a mark of respect to God whenever there was +any mention of him, even indirect. The tendency is more and more to +eliminate them except in the second person (direct address). In view of +the change now going on it is best to follow copy if the author appears +to have decided preferences. + +4. Books, divisions, and versions of the Bible. + + _Book of Job_, _Twenty-third Psalm_, + _New Testament_, _Revised Version_. + +5. General biblical terms and titles of parables. + + _The Law_, _The Prophets_, _Major and Minor Prophets_ (referring to + the collections of prophetic books), _Lord's Prayer_, _Lord's + Supper_, _Parable of the Prodigal Son_, _the Beatitudes_, _the + Priestly Code_ and many other such terms. + +Use lower-case for _biblical_ and _scriptural_. + +6. Capitalize _Holy_ in _Holy place_ and _Holy of holies_. +Say _Gospel of John_, but speak of the _gospel message_. + +7. The names of religious bodies and their followers. + + _Catholic_, _Protestant_, _Unitarian_, _Methodist_, _Buddhists_, + _Taoists_, _Lamas_. + +8. The names of monastic orders and their followers. + + _Jesuits_, _Brothers of the Common Life_, _Recollets_, _Crutched + Friars_, _Cowley Fathers_. + +9. The word Church when it stands for the Church universal or is a part +of the name of some particular denomination or organization. + + _For salvation he sought the Church._ + _The Church of Rome._ + _The First Presbyterian Church._ + _I was on my way to church._ + _He is a student of church history._ (Note use of lower-case in + this sentence.) + +10. The names of creeds and professions of faith. + + _Apostle's Creed_, _Thirty-nine Articles_, _Nicene Creed_. + +Note that the adjective ante-Nicene is printed as it here appears. + +11. The word "father" when used in direct reference to the fathers of +the church, and to the Pilgrim leaders of New England, and the word +"reformers" when used of the leaders of the Reformation. + + _The ante-Nicene Fathers._ + _Luther, Calvin and the other Reformers._ + +The word "father" is not capitalized when the reference is general, as +in the first sentence of this section. + +The capitalization of "reformer" is intended to distinguish persons +connected with a certain definite historical movement from persons +interested in reform. Many persons might consider that the Reformers +were not reformers. + +12. Names of persons. + + _John Smith,_ + _George V._ + +But write _John o' Groat_, _Tam o' Shanter_, and the like where _o'_ is +an abbreviation of _of_ and not the Gaelic _O'_ as _O'Neil_, etc. + +In writing foreign names which contain particles, capitalize the +particles when not preceded by a Christian name or title. + + _Alfred de Musset_ but _De Musset_, + _le Due de Morny_ but _De Morny_, + _Prince von Bismarck_ but _Von Bismarck_. + +By exception the Dutch particle "van" is always capitalized. + + _Van Hoorn_, _Stephen Van Rensselaer_. + +13. Epithets appended to proper names or substituted for them. + + _Frederick the Great_ + _Peter the Hermit_ + _William Red Head (Rufus)_ + _the Conqueror_. + +14. Names of races of men. + + _Aryan_, _Caucasian_, etc., but generally _negro_ and _gypsy_, by + exception. + +15. Names of places. + +a. Cities, rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains, etc. + + _Chicago_ + _Mississippi River_ + _Atlantic Ocean_ + _Lake Superior_ + _Pike's Peak_ + _Strawberry Hill_. + +Note that the generic terms ocean, lake, mountain and the like are +capitalized only when they are an actual part of the name itself. We +would say "_The Atlantic Ocean lies east of the United States_," but we +would say "_The states which form the North American republic look out +on two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific._" + +The following tables are taken from _A Manual for Writers_ by John +Matthews Manley and John Arthur Powell (University of Chicago Press, +Chicago). + +Subject to the rule just stated, they will be found very useful. + +Capitalize, in singular form only, when immediately following the name + + Archipelago + Borough + Branch (stream) + Butte + Canyon + County + Crater + Creek + Delta + Forest + Fork + Gap + Glacier + Gulch + Harbor + Head + Hollow + Mesa + Narrows + Ocean + Parish (La.) + Park + Plateau + Range + Reservation + Ridge + River + Run + +Capitalize in singular or plural form when immediately following the +name + + Hill + Island + Mountain + Spring + +Capitalize, in singular form, either before or after the name; and in +plural form before the name + + Bay + Bayou + Camp (military) + Cape + Dalles + Desert + Falls + Fort + Isle + Lake + Mount + Oasis + Pass + Peak + Point + Port + Sea + Strait + Valley + Volcano + +b. Names of streets, squares, parks, buildings, etc. + + _Amsterdam Avenue_ + _Van Buren Street_ + _Independence Square_ + _Lincoln Park_ + _Transportation Building_. + +The same rule as to capitalization of the generic name holds here as in +the preceding section. The usual tendency to drop capitals is at work +here and newspapers now write _Washington street_ and _Federal +building_. It is very probable that the capitals will finally be dropped +from the generic terms wherever used. + +Printers should keep a careful watch on the usage of the best offices so +as to keep advised as to the progress of these changes. + +c. Nouns, and adjectives derived from them designating recognized +geographical divisions of a country or of the world. + + _East_, _West_, _North_, _South_, + _Westerner_, _Oriental_. + +When these words are used in their ordinary significance of mere +direction or location they are not capitalized except that in writing of +Biblical history we speak of the _Northern Kingdom_ and the _Southern +Kingdom_ into which Solomon's territory was split after his death. + +16. Generic terms for political divisions. + +a. When the term is part of the name and directly follows it. + + _Holy Roman Empire_ + _British Empire_ + _Northwest Territory_ + _Queen's County_. + +b. When it is used with the preposition of in such phrases as _Borough +of the Bronx_, _Department of the Gulf_. + +c. When part of a nickname, _The Crescent City_, _the Buckeye State_, +_the City of Brotherly Love_. + +Be careful not to capitalize such words when they are not an actual part +of the name. _French Republic_ is the name of the county, exactly +translating _Republique Francaise_, but _American republic_ is not such +a name. You would write _State of New York_ in a legal document in which +the state would be considered as a corporate person, but in ordinary +references it would be _state of New York_. + +17. The days of the week and the months of the year, but not the seasons +unless personified. + + _Monday the fifth of August._ + _April is the first month of spring._ + _Spring, beautiful Spring._ + +But write _ten o'clock_, _nine a.m._, _ten p.m._ + +18. Festivals and historic or famous days. + + _Easter Day_ + _Fast Day_ + _Independence Day_ + _Black Friday_. + +19. Stars, planets, constellations, and the like, except _sun_, _moon_, +_stars_, _earth_. + + _Mars_, _the Milky Way_, _the Pleiades_. + +20. Ordinal numbers used to designate numbered political divisions, +sessions of Congress, names of regiments, Egyptian dynasties, and the +like. + + _Second Congressional District_, + _First Ward_, _Ninth Precinct_, _Forty-third + Congress_, _Sixth Massachusetts Regiment_, + _Fifth Dynasty_. + +21. Names of genera but not of species: except that in botanical and +zooelogical copy the species may be capitalized if derived from a proper +name. + + _Agaricus campestris_ + _Parkinsonia Torreyana_ + _Pterygomatopus schmidti_, (Medical). + +The English derivatives from these scientific words are not capitalized. +We write of the _agarics_, the _felids_, the _carnivores_, etc. + +22. _Father_, _mother_, and other words denoting relationship when used +with a proper name or without a personal pronoun. + + _I saw Aunt Lucy and Cousin Charles._ + _I saw my aunt Lucy and my cousin Charles._ + _I have received a letter from my mother._ + _I have received a letter from Mother._ + +23. Names of political parties and of philosophical, literary, and +artistic schools, and their adherents. + + _Republican_, _National Liberal_, _Social Democrats_, _Stoics_ (but + _neo-Platonism_, _pseudo-Christianity_, etc.) _the Lake school_, + _the Romantic movement_, _the Symbolic school of painters_. + +24. Political and historical designations which have been much used and +have come to have special significances such as names of leagues, +parties, classes, movements, and the like. + + _Holy Alliance_, _Dreibund_, _Roundheads_, _Independents_, + _Reformation_, _Dissenter_. + +25. Names of well-known historic epochs, periods in the history of +language, and geological ages and strata. The word "age" is not +capitalized except when necessary to avoid ambiguity. + + _Stone age_, _Middle Ages_, _Age of Elizabeth_, _Crusades_, _Commune + (of Paris)_, _Middle English_, _Neolithic_. + +26. Names of important events. + + _Hundred Years War_, _Battle of Trenton_, + _Louisiana Purchase_, _Norman Conquest_. + +27. Names of specific treaties, important laws, and the like. + + _Peace of Amiens_, _Edict of Nantes_, _Concordat_, _Emancipation + Proclamation_, _Fourteenth Amendment_. + +28. Names of governmental bodies and departments and their branches when +specifically designated. + + _Congress_, _the Senate_, _the Board of Aldermen_, _the House of + Commons_, _the Committee on Education_. + +Care must be taken to distinguish between these specific references and +general uses of the same word. + + _The state legislature of Massachusetts is officially termed the + General Court._ + _The matter was referred to the War Department but was sent back on + the ground that it belonged to another department._ + +29. The official titles of corporations, organizations, and +institutions, social, religious, educational, political, business, and +the like. + + _Knights Templars_, _Knights of Columbus_, _Associated Charities_, + _Cook County Normal School_, _Society for the Prevention of Cruelty + to Animals_, _Chicago_, _Rock Island and Pacific Railroad_. + +In long titles, like the last example given, the important words are +capitalized as in book titles (see Sec. 31). Use capitals when referring +to such organizations by initials, _C. R. I. & P. R. R._ Here again it +must be remembered that the capitals are used in specific references +only. + + _The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third + Congregational Church._ + _The young people's societies connected with the Congregational + churches do great good._ + +30. The names of conventions, congresses, expositions, etc. + + _Parliament of Religions_, + _International Peace Congress_, + _Panama-Pacific Exposition_. + +31. The first words, principal words, and last word in English tides of +books and other publications; of their divisions (parts, chapters, +cantos, etc.); of the topics of speeches, sermons, toasts, and the like; +of pictures; of plays; of musical compositions, etc. + +In long titles nouns and pronouns are capitalized always; verbs, +participles, and adverbs usually; articles, prepositions and +conjunctions never. + + _Standard Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases_, _Science and + Health with Key to the Scriptures_, _Lincoln's Gettysburg Address_, + _Paradise Lost_, _Measure for Measure_, _A New Way to Pay Old + Debts_, _The Coronation of Charles VII at Rheims_, _the Moonlight + Sonata_. + +The word "the" is capitalized when it forms an actual part of the title +of a book but not otherwise. + + _The Printer's Dictionary_. _The Life and Times of Charles V._ _the + Review of Reviews_, _the Laacoon_, _the Fifth Symphony_. + +32. Dedications; headings of parts and chapters; headings of many +important minor parts of a book. + + _To All Who Love Good Printing._ + _Chapter Twenty-Seven._ + _Part Three._ + _The Invention of Movable Types._ + _The Practical Value of Gutenberg's Invention._ + (These last as sections of a book on the origin of printing). + +33. In foreign languages the usage is somewhat different. The following +rules will be found useful: + +a. Always capitalize the first word. + +b. In Latin capitalize only proper nouns and adjectives derived +therefrom. + + _Commentarii Caesaris de bello Gallico._ + +c. In French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian, capitalize +proper names but not adjectives derived therefrom. + + _La vie de Ronsard_; _Histoire de la litterature francaise_, + _Novelle e racconti popolari italiani_, _Antologia de poetas liricos + castellanos_. + +d. In German capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from the +names of persons but not those derived from other proper nouns. + + _Geschichte des deutsches Reich_ + _Die Homerische Frage_. + +e. In Danish capitalize all nouns. + +f. In Dutch capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from proper +nouns. + +34. Titles of ancient manuscripts. + + _Codex Alexandrinus._ + +35. In titles of books, etc. all nouns forming parts of hyphenated +compounds should be capitalized. + +36. In side heads capitalize the first word and proper nouns only. + +37. Personal titles as follows: + +a. Titles preceding a name and so forming part of it. + + _King George V._ + _Pope Benedict XV._ + _Duke William of Aquitaine._ + +But not otherwise. + + _Woodrow Wilson_, _president of the United States_, _the emperor of + Germany_, _the present king of Spain is Alfonso XIII_. + +b. Titles used in place of the name with reference to a particular +person or to the present holder of an office. + + _I hope when in Rome to see the Pope._ + _He hoped some day to become pope._ + +c. Familiar names applied to a particular person. + + _the Father of his Country._ + _Unser Fritz._ + _the Little Corporal._ + +d. Orders of knighthood and titles attached to them. + + _Knight of the Garter_, + _Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George_. + +e. Titles used in direct address. + + _Good morning, Mr. President._ + +f. Academic degrees in abbreviated form following a name. + + _David Starr Jordan, Ph. D., LL. D._ + +So also letters following a name indicating membership of certain +scientific and artistic organizations. + + _F. R. G. S._ (Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society). + _R. A._ (Member of the Royal Academy). + +So also in the United States and Great Britain, _M. C._ (Member of +Congress) and _M. P._ (Member of Parliament). + +Where a person has many titles the following of this rule involves +certain difficulties. Such a name as + + _John Smith, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., L. H. D., D. C. L., LL. D._ is by + no means impossible. + +In such a case the titles become much more prominent than the name and +the page is disfigured by the spotty appearance of the text. Small +capitals may sometimes be used with good effect in such a case but this +should not be done without obtaining proper permission. + +The difficulty of handling these long and numerous titles in the +composition of title pages is sometimes considerable. Three methods of +dealing with the difficulty are open. + +a. The honorary titles may be put in capitals regardless of the +unsightly appearance of the line. + +b. The honorary titles may be put in a small size of the same face and +justified in the line. This lessens the undue prominence of the titles, +but puts the line out of balance. + +c. The honorary titles may be put in a separate line, or lines, below +the name, set in small type, and spelled out in full. It is not +necessary to capitalize _jr._ and _sr._ in lower-case text matter unless +so desired by the author. + +In compound titles capitalize each word if it would be capitalized +separately. + + _Major General Leonard Wood_, + _Chief Justice Taney_, + _Commander-in-Chief Field_ + _Marshal Sir John French_. + +38. Names of things personified. + + _Nature_, _Vice_, _Thrift_, and the like. + +39. Adjectives derived from proper nouns. + + _The Elizabethan age._ + _Roman law._ + +Such adjectives and even proper nouns themselves lose the capital when +they are applied as trade or scientific names to articles of common use +or reference. + + _roman type_, _india ink_, _chinese white_, _volt_, _watt_, + _boycott_, _platonic_, _bohemian_. + +40. The first word of a direct quotation. + + _As he turned to go he said: "Farewell, we shall never meet again."_ + +41. The first word after "Whereas" and "Resolved" in resolutions. + + _WHEREAS. It has pleased God...._ + _therefore be it + RESOLVED, That...._ + +42. The first word after a colon when the colon introduces a logically +complete phrase not very closely connected with what precedes. + + _My conclusion is: A policy of consistent neutrality is the only + proper one for the country._ + _As the proverb well says: Beware the anger of a patient man._ + +43. _O_ interjection, but not _oh_ unless it begins a sentence. + +In Latin sentences of exclamation, denunciation or appeal the lower-case +_o_ is used. + + _O tempora, o mores temporum._ + +44. The first personal pronoun _I_ wherever it occurs. + +45. Emphasized words. + + _We stand for Liberty and Union._ + +This use should be avoided except for advertising display, or job work. + + _We call attention to our Stock of + Boots, Shoes, and Furnishings._ + + + + +SMALL CAPITALS + + +The use of small capitals presents its own peculiar problems to the +printer. The small capital has the form of the large capital but without +its size and conspicuousness. The small capitals are ordinarily no +taller than the round letters of the lower-case. They are usually on a +smaller set, with a lighter face and obscured by more connecting lines. +In many fonts of type they are really the weakest and least +distinguished of all the five series. Wide enough to cover the body of +the type fairly thoroughly in most letters and thus to reduce the +apparent space between letters, without ascenders and without +descenders, they are very monotonous and singularly ineffective when +used in any considerable quantity. When used in masses it is at times +even difficult to read them. + +The use of small capitals is quite different from that of large ones. +For the reasons just given they are not suited to display. For this +purpose they are no better than italics, if as good. Owing to their lack +of striking appearance and commanding quality they are not used for +emphasis. Display and emphasis it will be remembered are the two +principal uses of the full capital. + +Small capitals are used more for variety than for display. They are +commonly used for: + + Side heads + + Running titles + + Catch lines of title pages when particular display is not desired. + +They are sometimes used for the first word after a blank line, +especially for the first word of a new chapter. + +Long quotations of poetry are often printed with the first word in small +capitals. In this, as in the preceding case, the whole word is printed +in small capitals except the first letter which is a full capital. + +Proper names standing at the beginning of a chapter, occasionally even +of a paragraph, are sometimes spelled in capitals or small capitals. If +small capitals are used the initials of the name are put in full +capitals. + +Until within a comparatively short time tables of contents were often +set in small capitals. At the same time it was customary to give a +fairly full synopsis of the contents of each chapter under the chapter +head. The result was a very monotonous page, dull, dense, hard to read. +It is much better and now more common to use small caps for the chapter +heads and ordinary text type for abstracts, using dashes or dots to +separate the phrases in the synopsis and beginning each phrase with a +capital. + +The following reproduction of a part of a page from the table of +contents of DeVinne's _Modern Methods of Book Composition_ shows this +method of treatment. + + CONTENTS + +Chapter Page + + I EQUIPMENT 1 + + Types...Stands...Cases...Case-racks. + + II EQUIPMENT 39 + + Galleys and galley-racks...Compositors' implements + Brass rules and cases for labor-saving rule and leads + Dashes and braces...Leads...Furniture of wood and + of metal...Furniture-racks...Quotations and electrotype + guards. + +III COMPOSITION 75 + + Time-work and piece-work...Customary routine + on book-work...Justification...Spacing and leading + Distribution...Composition by hand and machine + Proper methods of hand work...Recent mannerisms. + + IV COMPOSITION OF BOOKS 111 + + Title-page...Preface matter...Chapter headings and + synopsis...Subheadings...Extracts...Notes and il- + lustrations...Running titles and paging at head or at + foot Poetry...Appendix and index...Initials...Headbands, + etc. + +Where chapter synopses are not given, ordinary text type may be used for +the table of contents. + +The following reproduction of the table of contents of DeVinne's +_Correct Composition_ shows this method of treatment. + + CONTENTS + +CHAPTER PAGE + Preface vii + + I Spelling 5 + + II Abbreviations 33 + + III Compound Words 61 + + IV Figures and Numerals 76 + + V Italic 94 + + VI Capital Letters 108 + + VII Division of Words 128 + + VIII Small Capitals 145 + + IX Extracts and Letters 157 + + X Notes 171 + + XI Indention 182 + + XII Spacing 198 + + XIII Quotation-marks 209 + + XIV Subheadings 230 + + XV Punctuation 241 + + XVI Proof-reading 294 + + XVII About Copy 327 + + XVIII Errors of the Press 345 + + Appendix 359 + + Index 447 + +Small capitals are best for subheads when of not more than two lines. If +the subheads are longer it is best to use lower-case. + +Signatures and credits are often put in small capitals. It is usually, +however, better to use italics for the purpose. There is no need of a +dash to connect the name with the quotation. When two or more quotations +from the same author are used as mottoes, with reference to the works +from which they are taken or the occasion on which they were said, the +name of the author may be put in small capitals in a separate line, the +name of the book or speech in italics, and the occasion in smaller roman +type. + +Numerous signatures to a document or petition, such as the _Mayflower +Compact_ or the _Declaration of Independence_, are often set in columns +using capitals for the initials and small capitals for the rest of the +name. Full capitals are too large for the purpose. + + We therefore, the Commissioners for the Massachusetts, Connecticut, + and New Haven, do also, for our several governments, subscribe unto + these. + + JOHN WINTHROP, Governor of the Massachusetts + THOMAS DUDLEY THEOPHILUS EATON + GEORGE FENWICK EDWARD HOPKINS + THOMAS GREGSON + +Dedications of books are commonly set in small capitals. As these +dedicatory formulas are ordinarily brief there should be wide leading, +good display, and care as to margins. The author will often give very +definite specifications as to the arrangement of his copy in lines, and +this will sometimes cause difficulty, occasionally compelling the use of +too small type. The author's specifications must be followed if he +adheres to them. + +Small capitals are much favored for running titles of pages. Full +capitals are much more effective and are to be preferred where the words +are few. Small capitals of 12 or 14 point body are distinct but smaller +sizes are crowded and hard to read. This difficulty can sometimes be +remedied by hair spacing. Over spacing of such lines is objectionable +though it has sometimes prevailed as a temporary fashion. + +Small capitals used in running titles are exposed to heavy wear and +their shallow counters are liable to get choked up with ink. Capitals of +the monotint or of a light-faced antique are sometimes selected for +books frequently reprinted where the wear on the exposed running titles +is very severe. + +In reprinting letters it is common to use small capitals for the name of +the place from which the letter was written, for the name of the +addressee, and for the signature. In job and advertising work the name +of the month and day and date are generally put in lower-case of the +text letter. This rule is not followed, however, in books. When the +heading of the letter is very long lower-case letters are preferable to +small capitals under the general rules of taste which govern the use of +types. The salutation, _Dear Sir_, _Gentlemen_, or the like, does not +need small capitals. It is better printed in italic lower-case with a +colon (not followed by a dash) at the end. If the matter is double +leaded the salutation may go in a line by itself, otherwise conforming +to the rules just given. + +Reprints of formal inscriptions on tablets and the like are often made +in small capitals surrounded by a border. There should be a good relief +of white space between the type and the border. + +In the Bible and in hymn books the words LORD and GOD are usually set +with full capital initial and the rest of the word in small capitals. + +This is, of course, a method of showing veneration and at one time it +was customary to print all names of spiritual or temporal dignitaries +and magnates or even ordinary names in small capitals. This practice +still lingers in a few newspapers which print the names of persons, even +those of small consequence, in small capitals, especially on the +editorial page. + +The tendency is steady toward the discriminating use of capitals, small +capitals, and italics. More and more we restrict the use of marks of +emphasis to the really necessary places leaving the words to tell their +story without outside aid. + + + + +SUGGESTIONS AS TO TYPOGRAPHIC USE OF CAPITALS + + +Capitals are too strong to be used with Arabic numerals. This fault of +proportion is increased by the custom of casting Arabic numerals on an +en body for table work, making them only half as thick as the type. Full +capitals may be used with full figures the width of an ordinary letter. +Condensed capitals may be used with en body numerals. + +If old-style capitals and figures are required in the same line use +figures about one-half larger in body than the capitals and justify them +to the line. + +It is this difficulty in combining capitals and Arabic numerals in the +same line that causes the extensive use of Roman numerals in chapter +numbers, numbers of other headings, dates on title pages, and the like. + +When a large initial three or four lines high is used for the first +letter of a new chapter, large capitals are sometimes used, although +such usage is not free from the reproach of looking too much like +newspaper advertising. When this initial is a two line letter it should +be in alignment with the small capitals of the upper line and the base +line of the text letter of the lower line. + +[Illustration: +AMONG the earliest methods of communicating +ideas to the absent pictures +hold the largest place.] + +[Illustration: THERE comes a tide in the affairs of men which, +taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.] + +Care should be taken not to compact capitals. Use wider leading and +broader spacing than for lower-case; for example, where you would use +one lead between lower-case lines you should use two or three between +lines of capitals. + +Capitals occupy more of the type-body than lower-case letters and +consequently words or lines set entirely with capitals need wider +spacing and leading than the lower-case to make composition readable. +When lines of roman capitals are set solid or single-leaded the en-quad +will usually be enough space between words especially if the words are +short; but for wide-leaded lines and head-lines double spaces (two +three-to-em) will be needed. A head-line of round, open capitals may +even need em-quad spaces. Wide letter words require wide spaces and +words of thin or condensed letters require thin spaces. + +[Illustration: +UNITED TYPOTHETAE +OF AMERICA + +UNITED TYPOTHETAE +OF AMERICA] + +Words which begin or end with A Y L V W T may need spaces a little less +than those with H I M, etc. In small types the inequalities in white +space beside or between combinations like L Y A T W and letters with +regular shape like H I M N, may not be readily noticed, but in large +sizes of capitals these differences are greatly increased and will often +make unequal white spaces in a line with uniform metal spaces. In some +styles of types a line may need unequal metal spaces in order to space +the words evenly. + +(Marks indicate insertion of spaces.) + +[Illustration: TEN MAIL TRAINS] + + This line has en-quads between the words, but the forms + of L and T make the white space greater than + between the first and second words. + +[Illustration: TEN MAI'L TRAI'N'S] + + This line has an en-quad in first space and three-to-em + in the second, with hair-spaces between some + letters of the words. + +So, also, it will often be necessary to insert pieces of paper, card, or +thin leads between the letters of a word in large display, in order to +make them evenly spaced, as shown in these examples: + +(Marks indicate insertion of spaces.) + +[Illustration: +PLAINLY +PLAI'N'LY +UNEVENLY SPACED +EVE'N'LY S'PA'C'E'D] + +This differential spacing in a line of capitals will also be required in +a line having abbreviations or initials. The following line, spaced with +en-quads throughout, has unnecessarily wide spaces between the initials: + +[Illustration: JOHN ENDICOTT LODGE, A. O. U. W.] + +Spaced with four-to-em in the last three places, it is improved: + +[Illustration: JOHN ENDICOTT LODGE, A. O. U. W.] + +Capitals used as initials of titles and for other abbreviations, with +the accompanying periods, should be thin-spaced or set close together, +as shown in the second of these examples: + +[Illustration: +GEORGE MARKHAM, D. D., PH. D. +GEORGE MARKHAM, D.D., PH.D. +JOHN FLINT, M. D. V., BOSTON, U. S. A. +JOHN FLINT, M.D.V., BOSTON, U.S.A.] + +Two or more lines of capitals of the same size should be spaced as +nearly alike as possible. These three lines are so disproportionately +spaced that they are not pleasing: + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION +B O S T O N +MASSACHUSETTS] + +The squaring up is arbitrary and strained. The lines are better like +this: + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION + BOSTON +MASSACHUSETTS] + +But if it is necessary to square up lines and no additional words or +letters can be inserted the short line may be filled with florets or +other characters which should not be bolder than the type itself and +should be of a style to harmonize with it as nearly as possible. + +[Illustration: +NORTH END UNION +*** BOSTON *** +MASSACHUSETTS] + +The extra wide spacing of words set in capitals, as in head-lines and +running-heads, should be avoided by the young compositor; there are +places where it may be unobjectionable but it will require good judgment +and some experience to prevent such lines making the page look freakish +or amateurish. + +In jobbing, advertisement, and display work, capitals are used more +freely than in plain reading matter. In book work the practice is to use +capitals more freely than in newspaper composition. A study of the +reading columns of daily newspapers will discover that capitals are used +very sparingly and words are "kept down" in many cases which in more +formal book and pamphlet work would be capitalized. + +In advertisements, announcements, and circular letters, words are often +capitalized for distinction or emphasis, as in these examples: + + Those who win a Second or First Prize through a monthly or special + contest become Honor Members of the Guild, and receive the Guild + badge without charge. + + You are cordially invited to attend the Spring Opening of Suits and + Outside Garments for Women, on Wednesday and Thursday, April 28 and + 29, in our new Mason Street Annex. + +Precise rules for the use of capitals cannot be given for work of all +kinds. Their insertion or omission will be governed greatly by the +subject matter and the style of treatment desired by the proof-reader or +the customer and the compositor's duty will not go further than to +maintain some consistency in their use in each piece of work. When he +has copy in which capitals are used as in the following example he will +be expected either to discard all capitals except at the beginning of +the sentences or to capitalize the words as in the second example: + + Fifty styles of the Smartest and nobbiest wheel specialties for + ponies and Small horses, Pony carts, light horse novelties, traps, + wagons, Harness, Saddles, etc. + + Fifty Styles of the Smartest and Nobbiest Wheel Specialties for + Ponies and Small Horses, Pony Carts, Light Horse Novelties, Traps, + Wagons, Harness, Saddles, etc. + +In lines of large display, like head-lines, set in capitals and +lower-case, all the important words should begin with capitals. +Unimportant words, such as _of_, _the_, _by_, _for_, _but_, _in_, etc., +except when they are at the beginning of the displayed phrase, are not +capitalized. + + Notice to the Public + The Best is the Cheapest + A Great Bargain in Hats + By Right of Conquest + For Love and Honor + +A line of capitals containing an abbreviation or other short word should +have capitals throughout when possible, as in the second form of these +examples: + + JOHN SMITH, Jr. JOHN SMITH, JR. + ROBINSON & Co. ROBINSON & CO. + +In advertisement display lines like the following are permissible: + + The GOLDEN HARVESTER + REGAL SHOES _for_ MEN + +Combinations of different sizes and styles of types are also common and +serve their purpose properly, as in this style, often used in billheads, +etc. + + TO THOMAS W. ABBOTT, DR. + _In account with_ FRANK ABBOTT + +Combinations of large and small capitals and lower-case like the +following are, however, not approved: + + WILLIAM BROWN, President + +The words in small capitals as well as the word in lower-case should +begin with large capitals, like this: + + WILLIAM BROWN, President + +When lines of capitals are used in books and pamphlets, for headings and +display, they should be used consistently--that is, all headings of a +similar kind should be alike in any piece of work, and not one heading +in capitals and another in lower-case. The composition of a title page +is more pleasing when its chief lines are in one style of letters, +giving a harmonious effect. When lines of capitals and lines of +lower-case are interspersed in a page an appearance of confusion is +liable to be the result. + + + + +SUPPLEMENTARY READING + + +A Manual for Writers.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/20374.zip b/20374.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..010673b --- /dev/null +++ b/20374.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
