S. A. m PREFACE The present work is a codification of the typographical rules and practices in force at the University of Chicago Press. Having its genesis, more than a decade ago, in a single sheet of fundamentals, jotted down at odd moments for the individual guidance of the first proofreader ; added to from year to year, as opportunity would offer or new necessities arise; revised and re-revised as the scope of the work, and, it is hoped, the wisdom of the workers, increased — it emerges in its present form as the embodi- ment of traditions, the crystalHzation of usages, the blended product of the reflections of many minds. Rules and regulations such as these, in the nature of the case, cannot be endowed with the fixity of rock-ribbed law. They are meant for the average case, and must be applied with a certain degree of elasticity. Exceptions will constantly occur, and ample room is left for individual initiative and discretion. They point the way and survey the road, rather than remove the obstacles. Throughout this book it is assumed that no regulation contained therein is absolutely inviolable. Wherever the peculiar nature of the subject-matter, the desirabiUty of throwing into relief a certain part of the argument, the reasonable preference of a writer, or a typographical contingency suggests a deviation, such deviation may legitimately be made. Each case of this character must largely be decided upon its 234226 own merits. Generally it may be stated that, where no question of good taste or good logic is involved, defer- ence should be shown to the expressed wishes of the author. The nature of the work of The Press itself — and this will apply, to a greater or less extent, to any similar in- stitution affected by local conditions — constantly calls for modification, now of this rule, now of that. It would be found impracticable, even were it desirable, to bring all of its publications into rigid uniformity of ''style" and appearance. Methods have been devised, systems evolved, in certain lines of work, which cannot bodily be carried over into the field of others. Thus, in the matter of literary references, for instance, general practice has estabhshed certain usages in some of the sciences which it would not be advisable to ignore. Similar discrepancies may be ob- served in other directions. • These deviations will be found mentioned at the appropriate places in the body of the book. On the whole, however, the rules are designed to govern all publications sent forth with the imprint of this Press. Concerning the character and contents of the book Httle need be added. Its origin, its primary aim, and its limitations, as outlined above, will suggest the bounds of its usefulness. It does not pretend to be exhaustive; a few things must be taken for granted, and the traditional territory of the dictionary has only exceptionally been in- vaded. It does not presume to be inflexibly consistent; applicability, in the printing-office, is a better test than iron-clad consistency, and common-sense a safer guide vi than abstract logic. It lays no claim to perfection in any of its parts; bearing throughout the inevitable earmarks of compromise, it will not carry conviction at every point to everybody. Neither is it an advocate of any radical scheme of reform; in the present state of the agitation for the improvement of spelhng, progressive conservatism has been thought to be more appropriate for an academic printing-office than radicalism. As it stands, this Manual is believed to contain a fairly comprehensive, reasonably harmonious, and wholesomely practical set of work-rules for the aid of those whose duties bring them into direct contact with the Manufacturing Department of The Press. If, in addition to this its main object, this Manual oj Style may incidentally prove helpful to other gropers in the labyrinths of typographical style, its purpose will have been abundantly realized.

As a rule, letters in legends or in the text referring to corresponding letters in accompanying illustra- tions : "At the point A above (see diagram)." 59. References to particular letters: the letter u, a small v. 60. s. and d. (= shilHngs and pence) following numerals: 3^. 6d. (with a hair- space). 61. In zoological, botanical, and similar matter, scien- tific (Latin) names of species; and in astronomical matter, names of stars or constellations: Felis leo, Rosa Carolina; Saturn, Cassiopeia. 62. In resolutions, the word ^^ Resolved'^ (see 35). 63. After headlines, as a rule, the word ^'Continued;'' and [To be continued] at the end of articles: THE SCOPE OF SOCIOLOGY— Cow/mM^J [To he continued] M anual j S t yl e : Quotations 25 QUOTATIONS Put between Quotation Marks (and in roman type — i.e., " roman-quote") — 64. Citations, run into the text, of a passage from an author in his own words (see 75). 65. Quotations from different authors following each other uninterrupted by any intervening original matter. 66. A word or phrase accompanied by its definition: "Drop-foliQ" means a page-number at the bottom of the page; Such a piece of metal is called a "slug." 67. An unusual, technical, ironical, etc., word or phrase in the text, whether or not accompanied by a word, like "so-called," directing attention to it: Her "five o'clocks" were famous in the neighborhood; She was wearing a gown of "lobster-colored " silk ; He was elected "master of the rolls;" We then repaired to what he called his "quarter deck;" A "lead" is then inserted between the lines; This so-called "man of affairs;" A self-styled "con- noisseur." 68. In translations, the English equivalent of a word, phrase, or passage from a foreign language : Weltanschauung^ "world-view" or "fundamental aspect of life;" Mommsen, Romische Geschichte ("History of Rome"). 69. The particular word or words to which attention is directed : 26 The University of Chicago Press the term " lynch law;" the phrase " liberty of conscience;'* the concepts "good" and "bad;" the name " Chicago." 70. Serial titles: "English Men of Letters" series; "International Critical Commentary." 71. Titles of shorter poems (see 52): Shelley's "To a Skylark." 72. Cited titles of subdivisions (e.g., parts, books, chap- ters, etc.) of publications; of papers, lectures, ser- mons, articles, toasts, mottoes, etc.: The Beginnings of the Science of Political Economy , Vol. I, 'The British School," chap. 2, "John Stuart Mill;" the articles "Cross," "Crucifixion," and, "Crusade" in Hast- ings' Dictionary of the Bible; The subject of the lecture was 'Japan — Its Past, Present, and Future;" the next toast on the programme was "Our German Visitor;" The king's motto is " For God and My Country." Note. — The Botanical Gazette, in footnotes, uses no quotation marks for such titles. References to the Preface, Introduction, Table of Contents, Index, etc., of a specific work, should be set with capitals, without quotation marks : Preface, p. iii; "The Introduction contains ....;" "The Appendix occupies a hundred pages;" but: "The book has a very complete index." 73. Names of ships: theU. S. SS. "Oregon." 74. Titles of works of art: Murillo's "The Holy Family." Manual of Style: Quotations 27 Set in Smaller Type — 75. Ordinarily, all prose extracts which will make three or more lines in the smaller type, and all poetry citations of two lines or more. An isolated prose quotation, even though its length would bring it under this rule, may properly be run into the text, if it bears an organic relation to the argument pre- sented. On the other hand, a quotation of one or two Unes which is closely preceded or followed by longer extracts, set in smaller type, may Hkewise be reduced, as a matter of uniform appearance. 76. As a rule, reduce from ii-pt. and lo-pt. to 9-pt., from 9-pt. to 8-pt., from 8-pt. to 6-pt. (see 233). 77. Reduced citations should not have quotation marks, except in such cases as noted in 65; nor should ■quotation marks, as a rule, be used in connection with italics. General Rules — 78. Quotation marks should always include elHpses, and the phrase "etc." when it otherwise would not be clear that it stands for an omitted part of the matter quoted, perfect clearness in each individual case being the best criterion: "Art. II, sec. 2, of the Constitution provides that 'each state shall appoint .... a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives ....;'" "He also wrote af series of 'Helps to Discovery, etc.'" — "etc." here 28 The University of Chicago Press indicating, not that he wrote other works which are unnamed, but that the title of the one named is not given in full; but, on the other hand: "Preaching from the text, 'For God so loved the world,' etc " — "etc." here being placed outside of the quotation marks in order to show that it does not stand for other, unnamed, objects of God's love. 79. Quoted prose matter (i. e., matter set with quotation marks; see above) which is broken up into para- graphs should have the quotation marks repeated at the beginning of each paragraph. 80. Where alignment is desired, the quotation marks should be "cleared" — i.e., should project beyond the line of alignment : "Keep away from dirtiness — keep away from mess. Don't get into doin' things rather-more -or-less!" 81. Double quotation marks are used for primary quota- tions; for a quotation within a quotation, single; going back to double for a third, to single for a fourth, and so on : "The orator then proceeded: 'The dictionary tells us that "the words 'freedom' and 'liberty,' though often inter-* changed, are distinct in some of their applications. )> } >> M antial j S I yl e : Spelling 29 SPELLING Spell out — 82. All civil and military titles, and forms of address, preceding the name, except Mr., Messrs., Mrs. (French: M., MM., M™^ M"^), Dr., Rev., Hon. {do not, except in quotations, set the Rev., the Hon.) ; Esq., following the name, should likewise always be abbreviated. 83. Christian names, as George, Charles, John (not: Geo., Chas., Jno.), except where the abbreviated form is used in quoted matter or in original signa- tures; and "von" as part of a person's name. Note. — In the matter of alphabetizing names the following rules should be observed: a) Hyphenated names are ordinarily alphabetized under the name following the hyphen; thus, Henry Chandler-Taylor comes under Taylor and not under Chandler (Taylor, Henry Chandler-). h) French and German names preceded by the particles "de" and "von," written in the usual fashion with lower-case letters, are regularly listed under the letter following the particle. In individual cases it may be found that the person always capital- izes the particle and treats it as a part of the surname. (Ram- beau, Emile de; Stcrnthal, Max von; De Bey, Robert.) c) The Dutch prefi.x "Van" is regularly capitalized and treated as the first part of the surname; such names are listed , under V. (Van Maastricht, Hendrj^k.) d) Spanish names having two parts connected by the particle "y" are listed under the name preceding the connective. (Go- mez y Pineda, Liberio.) 30 The University o j Chicago Press e) Names beginning with "Mc," whether the "Mc" part is written "Mc," "Mac," "M'," or "Mac" without the following letter being capitalized (as in "Macomber"), fall into one alphabetical list, as if spelled "Mac." 84. In ordinary reading- matter, all numbers of less than three digits, unless of a statistical or technical charac- ter, or occurring in groups of six or more following each other in close succession : "There are thirty-eight cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 or over;" "a fifty-yard dash;" **two pounds of sugar;" "Four horses, sixteen cows, seventy -six sheep, and a billy goat constituted the live stock of the farm;" "He spent a total of two years, three months, and seventeen days in jail." But: "He spent 128 days in the hospital;" "a board 20 feet 2 inches long by ij feet wide and i\ inches thick;" "the ratio of 16 to i;" "In some quarters of Paris, inhabited by wealthy families, the death-rate is i to every 65 persons; in others, inhabited by the poor, it is i to 15;" "His purchase consisted of 2 pounds of sugar, 20 pounds of flour, I pound of coffee, § pound of tea, 3 pounds of meat, and i\ pounds of fish, besides 2 pecks of potatoes and a pint of vinegar." Treat all numbers in connected groups alike, as far as possible; do not use figures for some and spell out others; if the largest contains three or more digits, use figures for all (see 86) ; per cent, should always take figures : "The force employed during the three months was 87, 93, and 106, respectively;" i-io per cent. 85. Round numbers (i.e., approximate figures in even Manual oj Style: Spelling 31 units, the unit being 100 in numbers of less than 1,000, and 1,000 in numbers of more) : "The attendance was estimated at five hundred" (but: "at 550"); "a thesis of about three thousand words" (but: "of about 2,700"); "The population of Chicago is approximately two milHons" (but: "1,900,000"). Cases like 1,500, if for some special reason spelled out, should be written "fifteen hundred," not "one thousand five hundred." 86. All numbers, no matter how high, commencing a sentence in ordinary reading-matter : "Five hundred and ninety-three men, 417 women, and 126 children under eighteen, besides 63 of the crew, went down with the ship." When this is impracticable, reconstruct the sentence; e. g. : "The total number of those who went down with the ship was 593 men," etc. 87. Sums of money, when occurring in isolated cases in ordinary reading-matter : "The admission was two dollars." When several such numbers occur close together, and in all matter of a statistical character, use figures : "Admission: men, $2; women, $1; children, 25 cents." 88. Time of day, in ordinary reading-matter: at four; at half-past two in the afternoon; at seven o'clock. Statistically, in enumerations, and always in connec- tion with A. M. and p. M., use figures: at 4:15 p. M. (omit "o'clock" in such connections). 32 The University o j Chicago Press 89. Ages: eighty years and four months old; children between six and fourteen. 90. Numbers of centuries, of Egyptian dynasties, of sessions of Congress, of military bodies, of political divisions, of thoroughfares, and in all similar cases, unless brevity is an important consideration (see 5, 6, and 11): nineteenth century; Fifth Dynasty; Fifty-fourth Congress, Second Session; Fifteenth Infantry I. N. G.; Sixth Con- gressional District, Second Ward; Fifth Avenue. 91. References to particular decades: in the nineties. 92. Names of months, except in statistical matter or in long enumerations: from January i to April 15 (omit, after dates, st, d, and th). 93. ''United States," except in quotations and such con- nections as: General Schofield, U. S. A.; U. S. SS. ''Oregon;" in footnotes and similar references: U. S. Geological Survey. 94. "Railroad (-v^^ay)," and "Fort" and "Mount" in geographical appellations: Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad (not: R. R. or Ry.); Fort Wayne, Mount Elias. 95. In most cases, all names of publications. This rule, like many another, is open to modification in particu- lar instances, for which no directions can here be Manual of Style: Spelling 33 given. Expediency, nature of context, authoritative usage, and author's preference are some of the points to be considered. Generally, if in doubt, spell out; good taste will condone offenses in this direction more readily than in the opposite. Abbreviate — 96. Names of states and territories in the United States following those of towns, with the usual exceptions, as follows : Ala. 1irV\.oVravv<-0i^ La. Ore. 0^ • Alaska Me. Pa. 'r^Atx-g.^ \v\Qk,v.M\\.OK.

In text matter, not of a technical character, *' Com- pany" and "Brothers" may, however, be spelled out: "Harper Brothers have recently published ....;" "The Century Company announces ....;" "The extraordinary 1 story of the South Sea Company." 98. ** Saint " before a name : St. Louis, St. Peter's Church, SS. Peter and Paul. "St." should, however, preferably be omitted in con- nection with the names of apostles, evangelists, and church fathers : I Luke, Paul, Augustine; not: St. Luke, St. Paul, St. Augustine. 99. In references to Scripture passages, most books of the Bible having more than one syllable, as follows : Gen. Ex. Lev. Num. Deut. Josh. Judg. Ruth I and II Sam. I and II Kings I and II Chron.

In literary references, in footnotes and matter of a bibliographical character, '* volume," "number," "chapter," "article," "section," "page," "column," "verse," "line," "note," "figure," followed by their number (see 33 and 218); and the word "follow- ing" after the number to denote continuance: Vol. I (plural, Vols.), No. i (Nos.), chap. 2 (chaps.), Art. Ill (Arts.), sec. 4 (sees.), p. 5 (pp.), col. 6 (cols.), vs. 7 (vss.), 1. 8 (11.), n. 9 (nn.); pp. 5-7 (=pages 5 to 7 inclusive), pp. 5, 6 ( = pages 5 and 6); pp. 5f. (=page 5 and the following page), pp. 5 ff. (= pages 5 and the following pages); Fig. 7. Where such phrases occur in isolated instances in the text, in continuous narrative (and not inclosed in parentheses), it is often preferable to spell them out, especially if beginning a sentence : "Volume II of this work contains, on page 25, a reference to .... ;" but: "Volume II ... . contains (p. 25) . . . ." 36 The University oj Chicago Press 1 01. The common designations of weights and measures in the metric system, when following a numeral : I m., 2 dm., 3 cm., 4 mm.; cm. (=cubic meter), c.d., c.c, c.mm.; g. (=gram; gr.= grain). General Rules — 102. In extracts from modem authors whose spelling and punctuation differ but slightly from ours, and where such variations do not affect the meaning, use office style. In citations from Old English works, and in such cases where it appears to be essential to the writer's plan or the requirements of the context to give a faithful rendering, follow the original copy. Titles should always be accurately quoted. 103. Form possessive of proper names ending in s or another sibilant, if monosyllabic, by adding an apostrophe and s; if of more than one syllable, by adding an apostrophe alone: King James's Version, Burns's poems, Marx's theories; Moses' law, Jesus' birth, Demosthenes' .orations, Berlioz' compositions; for convenience' sake. 104. Before sounded h and long w, use **a" as the form of the indefinite article : a hotel, a harmonic, a historical, a union, [a euphonious word, such a one]. 105. Do not use ligature cb and a?, but separate the letters, in quotations from Latin , and in anglicized derivatives Manual o j Style: Spelling 37 from Latin, or from Greek through Latin, where e has not been substituted for the diphthong: Aurea prima sata est aetasque, vindice nullo, sponte sua, sine lege, fidem rectumque colebat; poena metusque aberant .... the Aeneid, Oedipus Tyrannus, Caesar, aesthetic, subpoena. In quotations from Old English, and from French and such other modern languages as employ it, use the ligature : Alfred, AS /iw«/e = "wheat;" (Euvres de Balzac, chef-d'oeuvre. 1 06. Differentiate "farther" and "further" by using the former in the sense of "more remote," "at a greater distance;" the latter in the sense of "moreover," "in addition": the farther end, he went still farther; further he suggested, a further reason. 107.

All punctuation marks should be printed in the same type as the word or letter immediately preceding them: "With the cry of Banzai! the regiment stormed the hill;" Luke 4:16 a; no. i. Period — 109. A period is used to indicate the end of a complete sentence (see, however, 112). no. Put a period after all abbreviations, except in cases where a mechanical necessity compels the omission of a letter or letters in the middle of a word for which there is no recognized abbreviated form ; such omis- sion is indicated by an apostrophe. Treat "per cent." and the metric symbols as abbreviations, but not the chemical symbols, nor "format" of books: Macmillan & Co., Mr. Smith, St. Paul, no. i, Chas. (see 83), ibid., s. v.; 2 per cent., 10 mm.; but: m'f'g pl't (= manufacturing plant); O, Fe; 4to, 8vo Note. — With respect to symbols for measures the following exceptions should be noted: Astrophysical Journal, 12 mm (with thin space and no period) ; Botanical Gazette, 12^1"^ 125*^^ (superior, with hair-space); Journal 0} Geology, 12™™. Astro- physical Journal uses italics for chemical s>Tnbols: Fe. But do not use period, in technical matter, after the recognized abbreviations for linguistic epochs, or 40 The U niv er sit y j Chicago Press for titles of well-known publications of which the initials only are given, nor after MS ( = manuscript) : IE ( =Indo-European), OE ( = Old English), MHG ( ^Middle High German); AJSL {= American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures), ZAW (=Zeitschri}t fur alttesta- mentliche Wissenschaft). 111. Use no period after Roman numerals, even if having the value of ordinals : Vol. IV; Louis XVI 112. Omit the period after running-heads (for explanation of this and the following terms see 260-64) > after centered headlines; after side-heads set in separate lines; after cut-in heads; after box-heads in tables; and after superscriptions and legends which do not form a complete sentence (with subject and predi- cate) ; after date lines at top of communications, and after signatures (see 43). 113. The period is placed inside the quotation marks; and inside the parenthesis when the matter inclosed forms no part of the preceding sentence; otherwise outside : Tennyson's "In Memoriam." Put the period inside the quotation marks. (This is a rule without exception.) When the parenthesis forms part of the preceding sentence, put the period outside (as, for instance, here). Exclamation Point— 114. The exclamation point is used to mark an outcry, or an emphatic or ironical utterance : Manual of Style: Punctuation 41 "Long live the king!" "Heaven forbid!" "Good!" he cried; " How funny this seems ! " " This must not be ! " The subject of his lecture was "The Thisness of the That" ! The speaker went on: "Nobody should leave his home tomorrow without a marked ballot in their (!) pocket." 115. The exclamation point is placed inside the quotation marks when part of the quotation ; otherwise outside. See illustrations in 114. Interrogation Point — 116. The interrogation point is used to mark a query, or to express a doubt : "Who is this ? " The prisoner gave his name as Roger Crown • inshield, the son of an English baronet ( ?). Indirect questions, however, should not be followed by an interrogation point: He asked whether he was ill. 117. The interrogation point should be placed inside the quotation marks only when it is a part of the quota- tion: The question: "Who is who, and what is what?" Were you ever in "Tsintsinnati" ? Colon — 118. The colon is used to ''mark a discontinuity of grammatical construction greater than that indicated by the semicolon and less than that indicated by the period. It is commonly used (i) to emphasize a close connection in thought between two clauses of which each forms a complete sentence, and which 42 The University of Chicago Press might with grammatical propriety be separated by a period; (2) to separate a clause which is gram- matically complete from a second which contains an illustration or amplification of its meaning; (3) to introduce a formal statement, an extract, a speech in a dialogue, etc." (Century Dictionary) y (unless this is preceded by a conjunction, like "that," immediately connecting it with what goes before). Before the quotation of a clause in the middle of a sentence use a comma: (i) "This argument undeniably contains some force: Thus it is well known that . . . ." "The secretion of the gland goes on uninterruptedly: this may account for the condition of the organ." "The fear of death is universal: even the lowest animals instinctively shrink from annihilation." (2) ' "Most countries have a national flower: France the lily, England the rose, etc." "Lambert pine: the gigantic sugar pine of California." (3) "The rule may be stated thus: . . . ." "We quote from the address: . . . ." "Charles: 'Where are you going?' George: *To the mill-pond.*" But: "He stoutly maintained that 'the letter was a mon- strous forgery; ' " and: "Declaring, ' The letter is a monstrous forgery,' he tried to wash his hands of the whole affair," 119. The colon thus often takes the place of an implied "namely," "as follows," "for instance," or a similar phrase. Where such word or phrase is used, it should be followed by a colon if what follows consists of one or more grammatically complete clauses; otherwise* by a comma (see 132) : Manual oj Style: Punctuation 43 "This is true of only two nations — the wealthiest, though not the largest, in Europe: Great Britain and France;" but: "This is true of only two nations — the wealthiest, though not the largest, in Europe — viz.. Great Britain and France." "He made several absurd statements. For example: . . . .;" but: "There are several states in the Union — for instance, Kansas and Wyoming — which . . . ." 120. Put a colon after the salutatory phrase at the begin- ning of a letter, and after the introductory remark of a speaker addressing the chairman or the audience : My dear Mr. Brown: (See 43.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: (See 54.) 121. Put a colon between chapter and verse in Scripture passages, and between hours and minutes in time indications : Matt. 2:5-13; 4:30 P.M. 122. Put a colon between the place of publication and the publisher's name in literary references : Clement oj Alexandria (London: Macmillan), II, 97. 123. The colon should be placed outside the quotation marks, unless a part of the quotation : He writes under the head of "Notes and Comments": "Many a man has had occasion to testify to the truth of the old adage:" etc. Semicolon — 124. A semicolon is used to mark the division of a sentence somewhat more independent than that marked by a comma: 44 The University o j Chicago Press "Are we giving our lives to perpetuate the things that the past has created for its needs, forgetting to ask whether these things still serve today's needs; or are we thinking of living men ? " "This is as important for science as it is for practice ; indeed, it may be said to be the only important consideration." "It is so in war; it is so in the economic life; it cannot be otherwise in religion." "Let us not enter into this now; let us, rather, ask what the significance of our departed friend has been for his generation, not as a soldier and statesman, but as a philosopher and writer; not as an administrator and an organizer, but as the standard-bearer of civic right eousness." "In Russia the final decision rests with the Czar, advised by his ministers; in most constitutional countries, indirectly with the people as represented in parliament; in Switzerland alone, through the referendum, directly with the electorate at large." " This, let it be remembered, was the ground taken by Mill; for to him ^utilitarianism,' in spite of all his critics may say, did not mean the pursuit of bodily pleasure." ("For" in such cases should commonly be preceded by a semicolon.) 125. In enumerations use a semicolon between the differ- ent links, if these consist of more than a few words closely connected, and especially if individual clauses contain any punctuation mark of less value than a period, or an exclamation or interrogation point (unless inclosed in parentheses), yet are intimately joined one with the other, and all with the sentence or clause leading up to them, for instance through dependence upon a conjunction, like "that,'* pre- ceding them (see 32) : Manual oj Style: Punctuation 45 "The membership of the international commission was made up as follows: France, 4; Germany, 5; Great Britain, i (owing to a misunderstanding, the announcement did not reach the English societies in time to secure a full quota from that country. Sir Henry Campbell, who had the matter in charge, being absent at the time, great difficulty was experi- enced in arousing sufficient interest to insure the sending of even a solitary delegate); Italy, 3; the United States, 7." "The defendant, in justification of his act, pleaded that (i) he was despondent over the loss of his wife; (2) he was out of work; (3) he had had nothing to eat for two days; (4) he was under the influence of liquor." "Presidents Hadley, of Yale; Eliot, of Harvard; Butler, of Columbia; and Angell, of Michigan." "Smith was elected president; Jones, vice- president; Miller, secretary; and Anderson, treasurer." 126. In Scripture references a semicolon is used to separate passages containing chapters : Gen. 2:3-6, 9, 14; 3:17; chap. 5; 6:15. 127. The semicolon is always placed inside the quotation marks. Comma — 128. The com.ma is ''used to indicate the smallest inter- niptions in continuity of thought or grammatical construction, the marking of which contributes to clearness" {Century Dictionary) : "Here, as in many other cases, what is sometimes popularly supposed to be orthodox is really a heresy, an exaggeration, a distortion, a caricature of the true doctrine of the church. The doctrine is, indeed, laid down by an authority here and 46 The University o j Chicago Press there; but, speaking generally, it has no place in the stand- ards, creeds, or confessions of the great communions; e. g., the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the canons of the early ecumenical councils, the Westminster Confession, the Thirty- nine Articles." "Shakspere and other, lesser, poets." **The books which I have read I herewith return" (i. e.j I return those [only] which I have read); but: "The books^ which I have read, I herewith return" (i.e., having read them [all], I now return them). "Gossiping, women are happy;" and: "Gossiping women are happy." "Of these four, two Ameri- cans and one Englishman, started;" and: "Of these, four — two Americans and two Englishmen — started." "The suffer- ing, God will relieve." "Behind, her 'stage mother' stood fluttering with extra wraps." "About [the year] 1840, daughters of self-respecting Americans worked in cotton- mills." "Some boys and girls prematurely announce them- selves, usually in uncomfortable, sometimes in bad, ways." "And, as I believe, we are beginning to see with clearer, and I hope with finer, vision." "This is, at least to some extent, true of everyone." 129. Use a comma to separate proper nouns belonging to different individuals or places : "To John, Smith was always kind;" "To America, Europe awards the prize of mechanical skill." 130. Put a comma before "and," "or," and "nor" connecting the last tv^o links in a sequence of three or more; or all the links in a series of greater length, or where each individual link consists of several words; always put a comma before " etc." : Tom, Dick, and Harry; either copper, silver, or gold; "He was equally familiar with Homer, and Shakspere, and Manual of Style: Punctuation 47 V Moli^re, and Cervantes, and Goethe, and Ibsen;" "Neither France for her art, nor Germany for her army, nor England for her democracy, etc." But do not use a comma where ''and," etc., serves to connect all of the links in a brief and close-knit phrase : a man good and noble and true; "I do not remember who wrote the stanza — whether it was Shelley or Keats or Moore." 131. Ordinarily, put a comma before and after clauses introduced by such conjunctions as "and," "but," "if," "while," "as," "whereas," "since," "because," "when," "after," "although," etc., especially if a change of subject takes place : "When he arrived at the railway station, the train had gone, and his friend, who had come to bid him good-bye, had departed, but left no word. As the next train was not due for two hours, he decided to take a ride about the town, although it offered httle of interest to the sightseer. While he regretted his failure to meet his friend, he did not go to his house, because he did not wish to inconvenience his wife, if it were true that she was ill." But do not use a comma before clauses introduced by such conjunctions, if the preceding clause is not logically complete without them; nor before "if," "but," and "though" in brief and close-welded phrases : "This is especially interesting because they represent the two extremes, and because they present differences in their rela- tions;" "This is good because true;" "I shall agree to this 48 The University j Chicago Press only if you accept my conditions;" "I would not if I could, and could not if I would;" "He left school when he was twelve years old;" "honest though poor;" "a cheap but valuable book." 132. Such conjunctions, adverbs, connective particles, or phrases as "now,'' "then," "however," "indeed," "therefore," "moreover," "furthermore," "never- theless," "though," "in fact," "in short," "for instance," "that is," "of course," "on the contrary," "on the other hand," "after all," "to be sure," etc., should be followed by a comma when stand- ing at the beginning of a sentence or clause to introduce an inference or an explanation, and should be placed between commas when wedged into the middle of a sentence or clause to mark off a distinct break in the continuity of thought or structure, indicating a summarizing of what precedes, the point of a new departure, or a modifying, restrictive, or antithetical addition, etc. : "Indeed, this was exactly the point of the argument;" "Moreover, he did not think it feasible;" "Now, the question 'is this: . . . . " "Nevertheless, he consented to the scheme;" "In fact, rather the reverse is true;" "This, then, is my position : ....;" "The statement, therefore, cannot be verified;" "He thought, however, that he would like to try;" "That, after all, seemed a trivial matter;" "The gen- tleman, of course, was wrong." But do not use a conama with such words when the connection is logically close and structurally smooth M anual I S t yl e : Punctuation 49 enough not to call for any pause in reading; with ** therefore," *' nevertheless," etc., when directly following the verb; with "indeed" when directly preceding or following an adjective or another adverb which it qualifies; nor ordinarily with such terms as ''perhaps," "also," "likewise," etc.: "Therefore I say unto you ....;" "He was therefore unable to be present;" "It is nevertheless true;" "He is recovering very slowly indeed;" "He was perhaps thinking of the future;" "This is likewise true of the army;" "He was a scholar and a sportsman too." 133. If among several adjectives preceding a noun the last bears a more direct relation to the noun than the others, it should not be preceded by a comma : "the admirable political institutions of the country;" "a hand- some, wealthy young man." 134. Participial clauses, especially such as contain an explanation of the main clause, should usually be set off by a comma : "Being asleep, he did not hear him;" "Exhausted by a hard day's work, he slept like a stone." 135. Put a comma before "not" introducing an anti- thetical clause: "Men addict themselves to inferior pleasures, not because they deliberately prefer them, but because they are the only ones to which they have access. " 136. For parenthetical, adverbial, or appositional clauses or phrases use commas to indicate structurally 5o The University o j Chicago Press disconnected, but logically integral, interpolations; dashes to indicate both structurally and logically disconnected insertions ; never use the two together (see 159)- " Since, from the naturalistic point of view, mental states are the concomitants of physiological processes ....;"" The French, generally speaking, are a nation of artists;" "The English, highly democratic as they are, nevertheless deem the nobility one of the fundamentals of their political and social systems." 137. Use a comma to separate two identical or closely similar words, even if the sense or grammatical con- struction does not require such separation (see 129): "Whatever is, is good;" "What he was, is not known;" "The chief aim of academic striving ought not to be, to be most in evidence;" "This is unique only in this, that . . . ." 138. In adjectival phrases, a complementary, qualifying, delimiting, or antithetical adjective added to the main epithet preceding a noun should be preceded and followed by a comma: "This harsh, though perfectly logical, conclusion;" "The deceased was a stem and unapproachable, yet withal sym- pathetic and kind-hearted, gentleman;" "Here comes in the most responsible, because it is the final, ojfice of the teacher;" "The most sensitive, if not the most elusive, part of the training of children . . . .;" "He always bought the very best, or at least the most expensive, articles." 139. Two or more co-ordinate clauses ending in a word Manual of Style: Punctuation 51 governing or modifying another word in a following clause should be separated by commas : " . . . .a shallow body of water connected with, but well protected from, the open sea;" "He was as tall as, though much younger than, his brother;" "The cultivation in ourselves of a sensitive feeling on the subject of veracity is one of the most useful, and the enfeeblement of that feeling one of the most hurtful, things to which our conduct can be instru- mental;" "This road leads away from, rather than toward, your destination." 140. Similarly, use a comma to separate two numbers: "In 1905, 347 teachers attended the convention; " November I, 1905 (see 144). 141. A comma is employed to indicate the omission, for brevity or convenience, of a word or words, the repetition of which is not essential to the meaning : "In Illinois there are seventeen such institutions; in Ohio, twenty-two; in Indiana, thirteen;" "In Lincoln's first cabinet Seward was secretary of state; Chase, of the treasury; Cameron, of war; and Bates, attorney-general. " Often, however, such constructions are smooth enough not to call for commas (and consequent semicolons) : "One puppy may resemble the father, another the mother, and a third some distant ancestor." 142. Use a comma before ''of" in connection with resi- dence or position : Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyre, of Detroit, Mich.; President Hadley, of Yale University. 52 The University o j Chicago Press Exceptions are those cases, historical and political, in which the place-name practically has become a part of the person's name, or is so closely connected with this as to render the separation artificial or illogical : Clement of Alexandria, Philip of Anjou, King Edward of England. 143. Put a comma between two consecutive pages, verses, etc. ; and after digits indicating thousands : pp. 5, 6 (not: 5H3); 1,276, 10,419. 144. Separate month and year, and similar time divisions, by a comma: November, 1905; New Year's Day, 1906. Note. — Astrophysical Journal and Botanical Gazette do not use a comma with four figures, nor between month and year, 145. Omit the comma, in signatures and at the beginning of articles, after author's name followed by address, title, or position in a separate line, or after address followed by a date line, etc. : James P. Robinson Superintendent of Schools, Bird Center, 111. James P. Robinson Superintendent of Schools Bird Center, III. July I, 1906 146. The comma is always placed inside the quotation marks. Apostrophe — 147. An apostrophe is used to mark the omission of a Manual of Style: Punctuation 53 letter or letters in the contraction of a word, or of figures in a number : ne'er, don't, 'twas, "takin' me 'at;" m'f'g; the class of '96 (see no). 148. The possessive case of nouns, common and proper, is formed by the addition of an apostrophe, or apostrophe and s (see 103): a man's, horses' tails; Scott's IvanhoCy Jones's farm, Themis- tocles' era; for appearance' sake. 149. The plural of numerals, and of rare or artificial noun- coinages, is formed by the aid of an apostrophe and s; of proper nouns of more than one syllable ending in a sibilant, by adding an apostrophe alone (mono- syllabic proper names ending in a sibilant add es; others, s) : in the 1900's; in two's and three's, the three R's, the Y. M. C. A.'s; "these I-just-do-as-I-please's;" "all the Tommy Atkins' of England" (but: the Rosses and the Mac- Dougalls). Quotation Marks (see section on "Quotations," 64-81). Dashes — 150. A dash is used to denote *'a sudden break, stop, or transition in a sentence, or an abrupt change in its construction, a long or significant pause, or an unexpected or epigrammatic turn of sentiment'* (John Wilson) : "Do we — can we — send out educated boys and girls from the high school at eighteen ? " "The Platonic world of the static. 54 The University of Chicago Press and the Hegelian world of process — how great the contrast!" " ' Process' — that is the magic word of the modem period;" "To be or not to be — that is the question;" "Christianity found in the Roman Empire a civic life which was implicated by a thousand roots with pagan faith and cultus — a state which ofifered little . . . .;" "Care for the salvation of the soul, anxiety for its purity, expectation for the speedy end of the world — these overbore interest in moral society;" "This giving-out is but a phase of the taking-in — a natural and inevitable reaction;" "The advocates of this theory require exposure — long-time!" "Full of vigor and enthu- siasm and — mince pie." 151. Use dashes (rarely parentheses — see 161) for paren- thetical clauses which are both logically and struc- turally independent interpolations (see 136): "This may be said to be — ^but, never mind, we will pass over that;" " 'God, give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts' — I have forgotten the rest;" "There came a time — let us say, for convenience, with Herodotus and Thucydides — when this attention to actions was conscious and deliberate;" "If it be asked — and in say- ing this I but epitomize my whole contention — why the Mohammedan religion . . . ." 152. A clause added to lend emphasis to, or to explain or expand, a word or phrase occurring in the main clause, which word or phrase is then repeated, should be introduced by a dash : "To him they are more important as the sources for history — the history of events and ideas;" "Here we are face to face with a new and difficult problem — new and difficult, that is, in the sense that . . . ." Manual of Style: Punctuation 55 153. Wherever a "namely" is implied before a paren- thetical or complementary clause, a dash should preferably be used (see 119): "These discoveries — gunpowder, printing-press, compass, and telescope — were the weapons before which the old science trembled ; " "But here we are trenching upon another division of our field — the interpretation of New Testament books." 154. In sentences broken up into clauses, the final — summarizing — clause should be preceded by a dash : "Amos, with the idea that Jehovah is an upright judge . . . . ; Hosea, whose Master hated injustice and falsehood . . . . ; Isaiah, whose Lord would have mercy only on those who relieved the widow and the fatherless — these were the spokesmen . . . ." 155* A word or phrase set in a separate line and succeeded by paragraphs, at the beginning of each of which it is implied, should be followed by a dash : "I recommend — "i. That we kill him. "2. That we flay him." 156. A dash should be used in connection with side-heads, whether ''run in" or paragraphed: 2. The language of the New Testatneni. — The lexicons of Grimm-Thayer, Cremer, and others .... Note. — The above statement has been taken from .... Biblical Criticism in the Church of England — A most interesting article appeared in the Expository Times .... 56 The University of Chicago Press 157. Use a dash for ''to" connecting two words or num- bers: May-July, 1906 (en-dash); May i, 1905 — November i, 1906 (em-dash); pp. 3-7 (en-dash); Luke 3:6 — 5:2 (em-dash). In connecting consecutive numbers, omit hundreds from the second number — i. e., use only two figures — unless the first number ends in two ciphers, in which case repeat; if the next to the last figure in the first number is a cipher, do not repeat this in the second number : 1880-95, pp. 1 13-16; 1900-1906, pp. 102-7. Note. — The Astrophysicai Journal repeats the hundreds: 1880- 1895, pp. 113-116. 158. Let a dash precede the reference (author, title of work, or both) following a direct quotation, consisting of at least one complete sentence, in footnotes or cited independently in the text (see 75) : ^ "I felt an emotion of the moral sublime at beholding such an instance of civic heroism." — Thirty Years, I, 379. The green grass is growing, The morning wind is in it, 'Tis a tune worth the knowing, Though it change every minute. —Emerson, "To Ellen, at the South." 159. A dash should not ordinarily be used in connection with any other point, except a period : "Dear Sir: I have the honor . . . . ;" not: "Dear Sir:— I have . . . ." "This — I say it with regret — was not done;" not: "This, — I say it with regret, — was . . . ." Manual oj Style: Punctuation 57 Parentheses — 160. Place between parentheses figures or letters used to mark divisions in enumerations run into the text:^, "The reasons for his resignation were three: (i) advanced age, (2) failing health, (3) a desire to travel." If such divisions are paragraphed, a single paren- thesis is ordinarily used in connection with a lower- case (italic) letter; a period, with figures and capital (roman) letters. In syllabi, and matter of a similar character, the following scheme of notation and in- dention of subdivisions should ordinarily be adhered to: A. Under the head of . . . I. Under .... 1. Under .... a) Under .... (i) Under .... (a) Under .... a) Under .... /3) Under .... (6) Under .... (2) Under .... b) Under .... 2. Under .... II. Under . , . .> B. Under the head of ... . % 161. Parentheses should not ordinarily be used for paren- thetical clauses (see 136 and 151), unless confusion might arise from the use of less distinctive marks, or 58 The University of Chicago Press unless the contents of the clause is wholly irrelevant to the main argument: "He meant — I take this to be the (somewhat obscure) sense of his speech — that . . . . ;" "The period thus inaugurated (of which I shall speak at greater length in the next chapter) was characterized by . . . . ;" "The contention has been made {op. cit.) that . . . ." Brackets — 162. Brackets are used to inclose an explanation or note, to indicate an interpolation in a quotation, to rectify a mistake, to supply an omission, and for a paren- thesis within a parenthesis : ^ [This was written before the publication of Spencer's book. — Editor.] "These [the free-silver Democrats] asserted that the present artificial ratio can be maintained indefinitely." John Ruskin. By Henry Carpenter. ["English Men of Letters," IH.] London: Black, 1900. "As the Italian [Englishman] Dante Gabriel Ros[s]etti has said, . . . ." Deut. 3:46 [5]- Grote, the great historian of Greece (see his History, I, 204 [second edition]), .... 163. Such phrases as ^' Continuedy^^ ^^To he continuedy^ etc., at the beginning and end of articles, chapters, etc., should be placed between brackets (and set in italics — see 63) ; [Continued from p. j2o] [To be concluded] Manual of Style: Punctuation 59 Ellipses — 164. Ellipses are used to indicate the omission of one or more words not essential to the idea which it is desired to convey. For an ellipsis at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence four periods, separated by a space (en- quad), should ordinarily be used, except in very narrow measures. If the preceding line ends in a point, this should not be included in the four. Where a whole paragraph, or paragraphs, or, in poetry, a complete line, or lines, are omitted, insert a full line of periods, separated by em- or 2 -em quads, according to the length of the line : The point .... is that the same forces .... are still the undercurrents of every human life We may never unravel the methods of the physical forces; .... but .... I think it worth giving you these details, because it is a vague thing, though a perfectly true thing, to say that it was by his genius that Alexander conquered the eastern world. His army, you know, was a small one. To carry a vast number of men .... .... he sought the lumberer's gang, Where from a hundred lakes young rivers sprang; Through these green tents, by eldest nature drest, He roamed, content alike with man and beast. 165. An ellipsis should be treated as a part of the citation; 6o The University of Chicago Press consequently should be inclosed in the quotation marks (see above). Hyphens — 1 66. A hyphen is placed at the end of a line terminating with a syllable of a word, the remainder of which is carried to the next line (see section on " Divisions ") ; and between many compound words. 167. Hyphenate two or more words (except proper names forming a unity in themselves) combined into one adjective preceding a noun: so-called Croesus, well-known author, first-class investment, better-trained teachers, high-school course, half-dead horse, never-ceasing strife, much-mooted question, joint-stock com- pany, EngHsh-speaking peoples, nineteenth-century progress, white-rat sermn, up-to-date machinery, four-year-old boy, house-to-house canvass, go-as-you-please fashion, deceased- wife's-sister bill; but: New Testament times. Old English spelling. Where such words are set in capitals (e. g., in head- lines), or where one of the components contains more than one word, an en-dash should be used in place of a hyphen : FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR; New York-Chicago freight traffic. But do not connect by a hyphen adjectives or par- ticiples with adverbs ending in "-ly;" nr .u-' combinations as the above when following uic n >uiij or qualifying a predicate : Manual oj Style: Pic net nation 6i highly developed species; a man well known in the neighbor- hood; the fly-leaf, so called; "Her gown and carriage were strictly up to date." 1 68. Hyphenate, as a rule, nouns formed by the combina- tion of two noims standing in objective relation to each other — that is, one of whose components is de- rived from a transitive verb : mind-reader, story-teller, fool-killer, office-holder, well-wisher, evil-doer, property -owner; hero-worship, child-study; wood- turning, clay-modeling. Exceptions are such common and brief compounds as — lawgiver, taxpayer, proofreader, bookkeeper, stockholder. 169. A present participle united (i) with a noun to form a new noun with a meaning different from that which would be conveyed by the two words taken separately, (2) with a preposition used absolutely (i. e., not gov- erning a following noun), to form a noun, should have a hyphen: boarding-house, dining-haii, sieeping-room, dwelling-place, printing-office, walking-stick, starting-point, stepping-stone, stumbling-block, working-man; the putting-in or taking-out of a hyphen. 170. As a general rule, compounds of "book," "house," "mill," "room," "shop,'- .nd "work" should be printed as one compact word, without a hyphen, when the prefixed noun contains only one syllable, should be hyphenated when it contains two, and 62 The University of Chicago Press should be printed as two separate words when it contains three or more : handbook, schoolbook, notebook, textbook; pocket-book, story-book; reference book. boathouse, clubhouse, schoolhouse, storehouse; engine-house, power-house; business house. commill, handmill, sawmill, windmill; water-mill, paper-mill; chocolate mill. bedroom, classroom, schoolroom, storeroom; lecture-room; recitation room. tinshop, workshop; bucket-shop, tailor-shop; policy shop, blacksmith shop. handwork, woodwork; metal- work; filigree work. Exceptions are rare combinations, and such as for appearance' sake would better be separated : source-book, wheat-mill, lunch-room, head-work, field-work. 171. Compounds of "maker,'' "dealer," and other words denoting occupation should ordinarily be hyphenated ; likewise nouns denoting different occupations of the same individual : harness-maker, book-dealer, job-printer (see 168); a soldier- statesman, the poet-artist Rossetti. Exceptions are a few short words of everyday occurrence : bookmaker, dressmaker. 172. Compounds of "store" should be hyphenated when the prefix contains only one syllable; otherwise not: drug-store, feed-store (but: bookstore); grocery store, dry- goods store. Manual oj Style: Punctuation 63 173. Compounds of ''fellow" are always hyphenated: fellow-man, fellow-beings, play-fellow. 174. Compounds of "father," "mother," "brother," "sister," "daughter," "parent," and "foster" should be hyphenated: father-love (but: fatherland), mother-tongue, brother-officer, sister-nation, foster-son, daughter-cells, parent-word. 175. Compounds of " great, " indicating the fourth degree in a direct line of descent, call for a hyphen : great-grandfather, great-grandson. 176. Compounds of "life" and "world" require a hyphen: life-history, life-principle (but: lifetime), world-power, world- problem. 177. Compounds of "skin" with words of one syllable are to be printed as one word; with words of more than one, as two separate words : calfskin, sheepskin; alligator skin. 178. Compounds of "master" should be hyphenated: master-builder, master-stroke (exception: masterpiece). 179. Compounds of "god": sun-god, rain-god. 180. "Half," "quarter," etc., combined with a noun should be followed by a hyphen : half-truth, half-tone, half-year, half-title, quarter-mile. 181. "Semi," "demi," "bi," "tri," etc., do not ordinarily demand a hyphen: 64 The University o j Chicago Press semiannual, demigod, demiurge, biweekly, bipartisan, bichro- mate, bimetallist, trimonthly, tricolor, trifoliate. Exceptions are long or unusual formations : semi-centennial, demi-relievo. 182. Compounds of "self" are hyphenated: self-evident, self-respect. 183. Combinations with "fold" are to be printed as one word, if the number contains only one syllable ; if it contains more, as two : twofold, tenfold; fifteen fold, a hundred fold. 184. Adjectives formed by the suffixation of "like" to a noun are usually printed as one word if the noun contains only one syllable (except when ending in /); if it contains more (or is a proper noun), they should be hyphenated : childlike, homelike, warlike, godlike; eel-like, bell-like; woman -like, business-like; American -like (but: Christlike). 185. "Vice," "ex-," "elect," "general," and "lieutenant," constituting parts of titles, should be connected with the chief noun by a hyphen : Vice-Consul Taylor, ex-President Cleveland, the governor- elect, the postmaster-general, a lieutenant-colonel. 186. Compounds of "by-" should be hyphenated: by-product, by-laws. 187. The prefixes "co-," "pre-," and "re-," when followed by the same vowel as that in which they terminate, Manual of Style: Punctuation 65 take a hyphen ; but, as a rule, they do not when fol- lowed by a different vowel, or by a consonant : co-operation, pre-empted, re-enter; but: coequal, coeduca- tion, prearranged, reinstal; cohabitation, prehistoric, recast (re-read). Note. — The Botanical Gazette prints: cooperate, reenter, etc. Exceptions are combinations with proper names, long or unusual formations, and words in which the omission of the hyphen would convey a meaning different from that intended: Pre-Raphaelite, re-Tammanize; re-postpone, re-pulverization ; re-formation (as distinguished from reformation), re-cover (=cover again), re-creation. 188. The negative particles "un-," "in-," and '*a-" do not usually require a hyphen : unmanly, undemocratic, inanimate, indeterminate, illimitable, impersonal, asymmetrical. Exceptions would be rare and artificial combinations. The particle "non-," on the contrary, ordinarily calls for a hyphen, except in the commonest words : non-aesthetic, non -subservient, non-contagious, non-ability, non-interference, non-unionist, non -membership; but: nonage, nondescript, nonessential, nonplus, nonsense, noncombatant. 189. " Quasi " prefixed to a noun or an adjective requires a hyphen : quasi-corporation, quasi-historical. 66 The University of Chicago Press 190. **Over" and "under" prefixed to a word should not be followed by a hyphen, except in rare cases (lengthy words, etc.) : overbold, overemphasize, overweight, underfed, underestimate, undersecretary; but: over-soul, under-man, over-spiritualistic. 191. The Latin prepositions "ante," "anti," "inter," "intra," "post," "sub," and "super" prefixed to a word do not ordinarily require a hyphen : antedate, antechamber, antediluvian, antidote, antiseptic (but: anti-imperialistic — cf. 187), international, interstate, intramural (but: intra-atomic), postscript, postgraduate, subtitle, subcon- scious, superfine. Exceptions are such formations as — ante-bellum, ante-Nicene, anti-Semitic, inter-university, post- revolutionary. 192. "Extra," "infra," "supra," and "ultra" as a rule call for a hyphen: extra-hazardous, infra-mundane, supra-temporal, ultra-con- servative (but: Ultramontane). 193. In fractional numbers, spelled out, connect by a hyphen the numerator and the denominator, unless either already contains a hyphen : "The year is two-thirds gone;" four and five-sevenths; thirty -hundredths; but: thirty -one hundredths. But do not hyphenate in such cases as — "One half of his fortune he bequeathed to his widow; the other, to charitable institutions." Manual oj Style: Punctuation 67 194. In the case of two or more compound words occurring together, which have one of their component elements in common, this element is frequently omitted from all but the last word, and its implication should be indicated by a hyphen: in English- and German -speaking countries; one-, five-, and ten-cent pieces; "If the student thinks to find this character where many a literary critic is searching — in fifth- and tenth- century Europe — he must not look outside of manuscript tra- dition." Note. — Some writers regard this hyphen as an objectionable Teutonism. 195. A hyphen is used to indicate a prefix or a suffix, as a particle or syllable, not complete in itself : **The prefix a-;" "The German diminutive suffixes -chen and -kin." 196. A hyphen is employed to indicate the syllables of a word: di-a-gram, pho-tog-ra-phy. 197. Following is a list of forty words of everyday occur- rence which should be hyphenated, and which do not fall under any of the above classifications : after-years cross-section man-of-war subject-matter bas-relief field-work object-lesson terra-cotta bee-line folk-song page-proof thought-process bill-of-fare food-stuff pay-roll title-page birth-rate fountain-head poor-law trade-union blood-feud good-will post-office view-point blood-relations high-priest price-Ust wave-length common-sense horse-power sea-level well-being cross-examine ice-cream sense-perception well-nigh cross-reference ill-health son-in-law will-power 68 The University of Chicago Press DIVISIONS 198. Avoid all unnecessary divisions of words. Wherever consistent with good spacing, carry the whole word over into the next line. 199. Do not, in wide measures (20 ems or more), divide on a syllable of two letters, if possible to avoid it. Good spacing, however, is always paramount. Words of four letters — ^like on-ly — should never be divided; words of five or six — ^like oc-cur, oj-fice, let-teTj rare-ly — rarely. 200. Never let more than two consecutive lines termi- nate in a hyphen, if at all avoidable. The next to the last line in a paragraph ought not to end in a divided word; and the last line (the ''breakline") should, in measures of 15 ems and up, contain at least four letters. Similarly, avoid a broken word at the bottom of a right-hand (recto) page. 201. Do not divide proper nouns, especially names of persons, unless absolutely necessary. 202. Do not separate (i. e., put in different lines) the initials of a name, nor such combinations as A. d., P.M., etc. 203. Avoid the separation of a divisional mark (e.g., (a) or (i), in the middle of a sentence, from the section which it precedes. Manual of Style: Divisions 69 204. Divide according to pronunciation (the American system), not according to derivation (the English system) : democ-racy, not: demo-cracy; knowl-edge, not: know-ledge; aurif-erous, not: auri-jerous; antip-odes (still better: antipo- des — see 207), not: anti-podes. 205. However, divide on etymological lines, or according to derivation and meaning, as far as compatible with pronunciation and good spacing: dis-pleasure is better than displeas-ure; school-master, than schoolmas-ter. Shun such monstrosities as — Passo-ver, diso-bedience, une-ven, disa-bled. 206. Do not terminate a line in a soft c or g, or in a j. Escape the division entirely, if possible; if not pos- sible, divide: pro-cess, not:' proc-ess; spa-cing, not: spac-ing (the rule being that in present participles the -ing should be carried over); pro-geny, not: prog-eny; pre-judice, not: prej-udice. 207. Divide on a vowel wherever practicable. In case a vowel alone forms a syllable in the middle of a word, run it into the first line ; thus print : sepa-rate, not: sep-arate; particu-lar, not: partic-ular; criti- cism, not: crit-icism. Exceptions are words in -able and -ible, which should carry the vowel over into the next line : read-able, not: reada-ble; convert-ible, not: converti-ble. 70 The University of Chicago Press 208. In hyphenated nouns and adjectives avoid additional hyphens : object-lesson, not: object-les-son; fellow-being, not: jel-low- being; poverty-stricken, not: pov-erty-stricken, much less: pover-ty-stricken. 209. A coalition of two vowel-sounds into one (i. e., a diphthong) should be treated as one letter. There- fore do not divide, if there is any escape : peo-ple (either syllable makes a bad division), Cae-sar (cf. 201), ail-ing. 210. In derivatives from words ending in /, the /, in divisions, should be carried into the next line with the suffix if the accent has been shifted ; if the deriva- tive has retained the accent of the parent-word, the t should be be left in the first line : objec-tive (from ob'ject); deject-ive (from deject'). 211. The addition of a plural s, adding a new syllable to words ending in an 5-sound, does not create a new excuse for dividing such words : horses and circumstan-ces are impossible divisions. 212. Adjectives in -ical should be divided on the i: phy si-cat, not: phys-ical or physic-al. 213. Do not divide noth-ing. Manual o} Style: Footnotes 71 FOOTNOTES 214. For reference indices, as a rule, use superior figures. Only in special cases should asterisks, daggers, etc., be employed; for instance, in tabular or algebraic matter, where figures would be likely to cause con- fusion. Index figures in the text should be placed after the punctuation marks: .... the niceties of style which were then invading Attic prose, ^ and which made .... ' In particular the avoidance of hiatus. P = y2-\-y3-* * Schenk's equation. When figures are not used, the sequence of indices should be: ♦("asterisk'' or "star"), t ("dagger"), t ("double dagger"), § ("section mark"), || ("parallels"), If ("paragraph mark"). 215. Where references to the same work follow each other closely and uninterruptedly, use ibid, instead of repeating the title. This ibid, takes the place of as much of the previous reference as is repeated. Ibid, should, however, not ordinarily be used for the first footnote on a verso (left-hand) page; it is better usage either to repeat the title, if short, or to use loc. cit. or op. cit.: ^ Spencer, Principles of Sociology, chap. 4. ^ Ibid. 3 Ibid.y chap. 5. * Spencer, loc. cit. 72 The University oj Chicago Press 2 1 6. If the author's name is given in the text in connec- tion with a reference to, or a quotation from, his work, it should not be repeated in the footnote : .... This theory is questioned by Herbert, as follows: *' I cannot admit . . . . "^ * Laws of the Ancients, I, 153. 217. It is better to place the index figure in the text after the quotation than before it (see illustration above). 218. Ordinarily, omit "Vol.," "chap.," and "p." in references to particular passages. Use Roman numer- als (capitals) for Volume, Book, Part, and Division ; Roman numerals (lower-case) for chapter and pages of introductory, matter (Preface, etc.) ; and Arabic numerals for number (Heft) and text pages. Only when confusion would be liable to arise, or in excep- tional cases, use "Vol.," etc., in connection with the numerals : ^ Miller, The French Revolution (2ded.; London: Abra- hams, 1888), II, Part IV, iii.

The date of publication in a reference to a periodical should immediately follow the volume number, and be put in parentheses (see above illustration). 220. In work set on the linotype machine footnotes should be numbered consecutively through an article, or by Manual oj Style: Footnotes 73 chapters in a book, to save resetting in case of change (see ** Hints to Authors and Editors," note under *' Footnotes," p. 96).

In ii-pt. and lo-pt. matter open (unruled) tables should ordinarily be set in 9-pt. leaded; ruled, in 8-pt. solid. In 9-pt. matter both open and ruled tables should be set in 8-pt. soHd. In 8-pt. matter open tables should be set in 6-pt. leaded; ruled, in 6-pt. solid. In 6-pt. matter both open and ruled tables should be set in 6-pt. solid. 222. Captions for the columns of open tables and box- heads for ruled tables should ordinarily be set in 6-pt. In ruled tables with box-heads of several stories, the upper story — ^primary heads — should be set in caps and small caps ; the lower — secondary — in caps and lower-case. Wherever small caps are used in box-heads, the "stub" (i.e., first column) head should, as a rule, also be set in caps and small caps. 223. In ruled tables there should be at least two leads' space between the horizontal rules and the matter inclosed, and, if practicable, at least the equivalent of an en-quad, of the type in which the body of the table is set, between the perpendicular rules and the matter inclosed. 224. In open tables set by hand, periods, one em apart and aligned, should be used between the columns; when set on the linotype machine, use regular Manual of Style: Tabular Work 75 leaders. In ruled tables, in the ''stub," leaders should usually be employed, if there is room. (A leader is a piece of type, having dots ["period leader"] or short lines [''hyphen leader"] upon its face, used in tables, indexes, etc., to lead the eye across a space to the right word or number.) 225. In columns of figures, for blanks use leaders the width of the largest number in the column ; that is, for four digits use a 2-em leader, etc. (each em containing two dots; in no case, however, should less than two dots be used). Center the figures in the column; if they cannot be put in the exact center, and there is an unequal number of digits in the groups, leave more space on the right than on the left. 226. When there is reading-matter in the columns of a ruled table, it should be centered, if possible ; if any line runs over, use hanging indention, and align all on the left. 227. All tables, and the individual columns in tables, should be set to even picas, or nonpareils, if practicable. 228. Double rules should be used at the top of all tables, but perpendicularly, as a usual thing, only when a table is doubled up on itself. 229. Tables of two columns only should be set as open; of three or more, as ruled. 76 The University of Chicago Press 230. ''Table I," etc., in headlines of tables should ordi- narily be set in caps of the type in which the body of the table is set; the following — descriptive — line, if any, in caps and small caps of the same type. A single (descriptive) headhne, not preceded by the number of the table, may be set in straight small caps of the type of the text in which the table is inserted. 231.

The point is the underlying unit of all typographical measures. 233. The standard of measurement is the pica. A pica is twelve points (one-sixth of an inch). This line is set in 12-pt. {pica). This line is set in 11 -pt. {small pica). This line is set in lo-pt. (long primer). This line is set in 9-pt. {bourgeois). This line is set in 8-pt. {brevier). This line is set in 7-pt. {minion). This line is set in 6-pt. {nonpareil). This line is set in s-pt. (pearl) , The sizes larger or smaller than these are seldom used in book composition. Styles of Type — 234. Ordinary type is called roman. To "roman-quote" is to put in roman type between quotation marks. This line is set in roman. 235. Type with a sloping face is called italic or italics. ItaHc is indicated in manuscripts by a straight line under the word or words (see p. 106). This line is set in italics. 81 82 The University of Chicago Press 236. Type with a heavy black face is called hold-face. Bold-face is indicated by a wave-line (see p. 106). This line is set in bold-face. 237. The body of a type is called the shank; the upper surface, bearing the character, the face; the part of the face projecting beyond the shank, the kern; the part of the shank projecting beyond the face, the shoulder. 238. A fonlj or complete assortment of a given size, of type includes large capitals {^'caps^^)y small capitals (^' small caps^')f and lower- case letters (so called from being placed in the lower half of the printer's case). Caps are indicated by three straight lines; small caps, by two (see p. 106). THESE ARE CAPS OF g-PT. ROMAN. THESE ARE SMALL CAPS OF Q-PT. ROMAN. These are lower-case of 9-pt. roman. Spacing — 239. An em, em-quad, or simply quad (= quadrat) is a block of type the top of which forms a perfect square. A 12-pt. quad is thus a piece of metal one-sixth of an inch square at the ends. The term em is also used of the size of such a square in any given size of type as a unit of measurement. ^* Indent 8-pt. 2 ems " thus means that the line should be indented 16 points. An em-dash is a dash the width of an em. Manual of Style: Technical Terms 83 240. Two- and three-em quads are multiples of the above, cast in one block of type-metal. Two- and three-em dashes are dashes the width of 2- and 3-em quads, respectively. 241. An en-quad is half the size of an em-quad in width. Thus an 8-pt. en-quad is 4 points wide (thick) and 8 points long (deep). An en-dash is a dash the width of an en-quad. 242. A three-em space is one-third of an em in thickness. This is also called a thick space, and is the standard space used to separate words. 243. A jour-em space is one-fourth of an em; a jive-em space is one-fifth of an em. Four- and 5-em spaces are also called thin spaces. 244. A hair- space is any space thinner than a 5-em. This line is spaced with em-quads. This line is spaced with en -quads. This line is spaced with 3-em spaces. This line is spaced with 4-em spaces. This line is spaced with 5-em spaces. The letters in this word are hair-spaced: America. This is a 3-em dash: This is a 2 -em dash: This is an em-dash: — ' ■ This is an en-dash: - 245. Space evenly. A standard line should have a 3-em space between all words not separated by other punctuation points than commas, and after commas; 84 The University of Chicago Press an en- quad after semicolons, and colons followed by a lower-case letter; two 3 -em spaces after colons followed by a capital; an em-quad after periods, and exclamation and interrogation points, conclud- ing a sentence. If necessary to reduce, begin with commas, and letters of slanting form — i. e., with a large "shoulder " on the side adjoining the space; if necessary to increase, begin with overlapping let- ters — i.e., with ''kerns" protruding on the side adjoining the space — straight-up-and-down letters, and points other than periods and commas (in this order). In a well-spaced line, with a 3-em space between a majority of the words, there should not be more than an en-quad between the rest; this proportion should be maintained in increasing or reducing. To justify a line is to adjust it, making it even or true, by proper spacing. 246. Do not follow an exceptionally thin-spaced line with an exceptionally wide-spaced one, or vice versa, if at all avoidable. 247. Never hair- space, or em-quad, a line to avoid a run-over. 248. Do not space out the last line of a paragraph allowing of an em's or more indention at the end. 249. Short words, like ''a," ''an," etc., should have the same space on each side. Manual of Style: Technical Terms 85 250. Use a thin space after §, ^, and similar signs; before "f.," *'ff.," and the metric symbols; and between "A.M.;' "p.m.," "A.D.," "B.C.," "i.e.," ''e.g.": "§ 14. Be it further ordained ....;" pp. 10 ff.; 16 cm.; 1906 A. D. 251. In American and English sums of money no space is used between $ and £ (pounds), a hair-space between s. (shillings) and d, (pence), and the numerals : $2.75; £10 ss. 2d. 252. After Arabic numerals at the beginning of lines, denoting subsections, there should be an en- quad; after Roman numerals, two 3-em spaces. After Roman numerals in cap, cap-and-small-cap, or small-cap center-heads there should be an em-quad. Small-cap headings should have an en-quad, cap- and-small-cap and cap headings, two 3-em spaces, between the words. 253 . Scripture passages should be spaced thus : II Cor. 1:16-20; 2:5 — 3:12. 254. In formulae, and elsewhere, put a thin space on each side of mathematical signs. Between letters forming products, and before superior figures indicating powers, ordinarily no space should be used: 86 The University of Chicago Press Indentation (Printer's Term: Indention) — 255. In measures of less than 10 picas' width, indent all sizes I em. In measures of from 10 to 20, indent ii-pt. I em; lo-pt., ij; 9-pt., ij; 8-pt., i|; 6-pt., 2. In measures of from 20 to 30, indent ii-pt. ij ems; lo-pt., I J; 9-pt., if; 8-pt., 2; 6-pt., 2 J. This is for plain paragraphs. In hanging indentions, in measures of less than 10 picas, indent all sizes I em; from 10 to 20, ii-pt., lo-pt., 9-pt., and 8-pt., ij ems; 6-pt., 2 ems; from 20 to 30, ii-pt., lo-pt., 9-pt., and 8-pt., 2 ems; 6-pt., 3 ems. 256. In poetry, center the longest line and let the inden- tion be governed by that; unless the longest line is of disproportionate length, in which case an average of the long lines should be struck, the idea being to give the whole a centered appearance. Where quotations from different poems, following each other in close succession, vary but slightly in length of verse lines, it is better to indent all alike. Indent according to rhymes and length of lines. In blank verse, where the lines are approximately of the same length, they should be aligned. If con- secutive lines rhyme, they should likewise, as a rule, be aligned. If the rhymes alternate, or follow at certain intervals, indent the rhyming lines alike ; that is, if, e. g., lines i and 3, and 2 and 4, rhyme, set the former flush in the measure previously determined Manual of Style: Technical Terms 87 by the longest line, and indent the latter (usually one em) ; follow this scheme in any similar arrangement. If any line is disproportionately short — that is, con- tains a smaller number of feet — indent it more : And blessed are the homy hands of toil ! The busy worid shoves angrily aside The man who stands with arms akimbo set, Until occasion tells him what to do. I laugh at the lore and the pride of man, At the sophist schools and the learned clan ; For what are they all, in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet ? So nigh is grandeur to our dust. So near is God to man. When Duty whispers low, "Thou must," The youth replies, "I can." Not lightly fall Beyond recall The written scrolls a breath can float; The crowning fact. The kingliest act Of Freedom is the freeman's vote ! 257. In ordinary reading-matter ''plain paragraphs" are always preferable. Where it is desired to bring into relief the opening word or words of a paragraph, or the number introducing such paragraph, or where a center- head makes more than two lines, "hanging indention" is often employed (see 265). 88 The University of Chicago Press Leads — 258. A lead is a strip of metal used to separate lines of type. The ordinary (standard) lead is 2 points . . thick. Matter with leads between the lines is called leaded; without, solid. This book throughout is set leaded. Only this paragraph, for illustration, and the Index, are set solid. Nearly all books are leaded. 259. A slug is a strip of metal, thicker than a lead, used in the make-up of printed matter into pages, to be inserted after headlines, etc. The two standard sizes are 6 and 12 points thick, respectively (a nonpareil and a pica). Heads or Headings — 260. A center-head is a headline placed at equal distances from both margins of the page or column. Center- heads are usually set in caps or small caps. This is a center-head: SEC. VIT. THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIOLOGY When such center-head makes more than two lines, either the (inverted) ''pyramid" form or "hanging indention" is employed: ART EDUCATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AS SHOWN AT THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION IN THE NORMAL SCHOOLS, ART SCHOOLS, AND ART HANDICRAFT ART EDUCATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AS SHOWN AT THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION IN THE NORMAL SCHOOLS, ART SCHOOLS, AND ART HANDICRAFT Manual of Style: Technical Ter^ns 89 261. A side-head is a headline placed at the side of the page or column. It may either be set in a separate line, in which case it is usually set flush — that is, in alignment with the margin of the type-page; or run in — that is, run together in a continuous line with the paragraph to which it belongs. The latter is the more common form. Side-heads are most frequently set in italics ; sometimes in caps and small caps or in bold-face (see 156) : Side-head — A side -head is a headline .... Side-head. — A side-head is ... . Side-head. — A side -head is ... . Side-head — A side -head is ... . 262. A cut-in head is a head placed in a box cut into the side of the type-page, usually set in different type, and as a rule placed under the first two lines of the text : In making inquiry, therefore, into the value of fraternity life among the children, it is necessary to test it entirely in accordance with its power to contribute to the rJfl'^L^^ welfare of the school as a social whole. The Influence school, being a social organization, has a right to demand that every individual contribute the best that is in him to the good of all. In making this contribution, it 263. A hox-head is a head for a column in a ruled table (see 231). 90 The University of Chicago Press 264. A running-head is a headline placed at the top of each page of a book, etc., usually giving the main title of the work on the left-hand (verso) page, and the title of the chapter, or other subdivision, on the right-hand (recto) page. A good v^orking rule for running-heads is to set them in — roman or italic — capitals two sizes (points) smaller than the type of the text. Paragraphs — 265. Two kinds of paragraphs are distinguished — plain and hanging. A plain (or regular) paragraph has the first line indented, and the others set flush. A hanging paragraph (^^ hanging indention^^) has the first line set flush, and the others indented: Human Nature and the Social Order. By Charles Horton CooLEY. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1902- Pp. viii-}-404. In terms of his own thesis Dr. Cooley has transformed the social materials of his times into a personal product; his mind has reorganized and reproduced the suggested Proofs — 266. A galley-proof is an impression of the type contained in a long, shallow receptacle of metal, known as a galley, into which the compositor empties the mate- rial as he sets it line by line from the manuscript. 267. A page-proof is an impression of the type material made up into page- form. Manual of Style: Technical Terms 91 268. A plate- proof or foundry- pr 00 j is a proof taken of the type-page immediately before an electrotype cast is made of it. This proof has a black border around the pages, made by ink from the metal frame used to hold the type in place while the cast is being made. Most publications nowadays are printed from such plates, and not directly from the type. 269. A foul proof is a galley-proof containing author's corrections. 270. A revise is a new proof of type corrected from a marked proof. Make-up^ 271. The arranging into page-fonn of type-lines is called • the make-up. 272. A folio is a page-number. Even numbers are placed on the verso; odd, on the recto. A drop-folio is a page-number placed at the bottom of a page. 273. A half-title^ or bastard title, is the abbreviated title of a book placed on a separate page preceding the full title-page, or the title of a part, chapter, etc., preced- ing such part or chapter on a separate page in the body of the book. Typesetting Machines — 274. The linotype — named Mergenthaler after its inven- tor — is a composing-machine on which, by touching 92 The University of Chicago Press a keyboard, the matrices from which the characters are cast arrange themselves automatically in lines in a receptacle, which then is brought in contact, on the same machine, with molten type-metal, through a mechanical device which liberates and arranges in order on a galley the stereotyped strips, each consisting of a line of type. 275. The monotype — named Lanston after the patentee — is a composing-machine on which, by touching a key- board, perforations are made in strips of paper, which then are transferred to a second machine, where the matrices to which the perforations correspond are brought in contact with molten type-metal, each character being cast separately and arranged auto- matically on a galley in justified Hnes. APPENDIX HINTS TO AUTHORS AND EDITORS Preparation of Manuscripts — Manuscripts should be either typewritten or in a perfectly clear handwriting. The former is preferable. The sheets should be of uniform size; q^Xii" is a desirable size. Only one side of the paper should be used. Never roll manuscripts; place them flatly in a box or an envelope. The sheets should not be fastened together except by pins or clips, which can be easily removed. When one piece of a page is to be fastened to another, use mucilage, not pins. Pins are liable to become un- fastened, and the slips lost or misplaced. Liberal margins should be left at the top and left- hand side of the sheets. This space will be needed by the reader or printer for directions. The pages should be numbered consecutively. In- serted and omitted pages should be clearly indicated. Thus, sheets to be inserted after p. 4 should be marked "4A," "4B," etc.; sheets omitted between p. 4 and p. 8 should be indicated by numbering p. 4, "4-7." Additions to original pages should be placed after the sheets to which they belong, and should be marked "Insert A," "Insert B," etc. The places where they are 95 g6 The University o j Chicago Press to be inserted should be indicated by writing "Here insert A," etc., on the margin of the original pages. Paragraphs — Paragraphs should be plainly indicated, either by indenting the first line or by a ^ mark. Footnotes — Footnotes should be clearly designated, either by separating them from the text by running a line across the page, or by using ink of different color. Some writers make a perpendicular fold in the paper, using two-thirds of the space for the text and one-third for the notes. The word in the text carrying the note should be followed by a superior figure corresponding to that pre- ceding the note. Footnotes should never be run into the text in manu- scripts, whether in parentheses or otherwise. Note. — It is important to remember that in matter set on the linotype machine the slightest change necessitates the resetting of the whole line. Since it is impossible to foresee how the notes will happen to come out in the make-up, it is impracticable to number them from i up on each page. The best way is to number them consecutively throughout an article, or by chapters in a book; bearing in mind, however, the very essential point that the change, by omission or addition, of one single number involves the resetting of the whole first line of each succeeding note to the end of the series. This difficulty is not met with in matter set on the monotype machine or by hand, where the change of a number amounts simply to substituting one figure for another. Manual oj Style: Appendix 97 Proper Names, etc. — Proper names, foreign words, and figures should, in handwritten manuscript, be written with the utmost care and distinctness. Title- Pages, etc. — Copy for title-pages, prefaces, tables of contents, etc., should be submitted with the manuscript. Copy for indices should be compiled from the special set of page- proofs furnished for this purpose, and promptly delivered to the printers. Unnecessary delay is often caused by postponing these details till the last minute. Reading of Proofs— Read and return your proofs promptly. In marking proof-sheets, use the standard proofreaders' marks (see p. 106). Do not adopt a system of your own, which, however plain it may seem to you, is liable to appear less so to the compositor. Be careful to answer all queries in the proofs. Delays and errors often result from not attending to them. Remember that changes in the type cost money. The omission or addition of a word in the middle of a para- graph may necessitate resetting the whole of this from that point on; and if such alteration is made in the page- proof, it may further involve repaging the entire article or chapter. Make your manuscript as perfect as possible before delivering it to the printer. Any necessary altera- tions should be made in the galley-proof, as each succeed- 98 The University o j Chicago Press ing stage will add to the cost. Corrections in plates should be studiously avoided. Not only are they expensive, but they are apt to injure the plates. The original manuscript should in each instance be returned with the galley-proof, in order that the proof- reader may refer to it, should any question arise; and each successive set of proofs returned should be accom- panied by the previous marked set. This will assist in calculating the cost of alterations properly chargeable to you. Manual of Style: Appendix 99 HINTS TO PROOFREADERS Read everything as if you yourself were the author, and your reputation and fortune depended upon its ac- curacy. Be particularly careful about proper names and figures. If the copy is not perfectly clear, or if you have reason to doubt its correctness, look it up, or query it to the author. In asking questions of authors or editors, make your point clear. A simple query is often not enough to draw attention to the particular point you have in mind. Queries in the manuscript should be transferred to the proof, or attention should be directed in the manuscript to the proof. Be discreet about your queries. Don't stultify your- self and discredit the office by asking foolish questions on the proof. The author will be thankful for any sensible suggestion you may make, but will resent trivial criticisms. About many matters in this world, grammar and logic included, there is abundant room for differences of opinion. Grant writers the privilege of preferring theirs to yours. Make a study of the "personal equation" in the case of those individuals (editors and others) with whom you as a proofreader will constantly have to deal. One person may expect of you as a matter of course what another might regard as an unwarranted interference. loo The University oj Chicago Press Never hesitate to correct anything that is palpably wrong, however positively the copy may assert the con- trary. Remember that the blame for the error will eventually be laid at your door — and justly. Do not follow copy blindly, unreasoningly. Proof- reading machines are yet to be invented. Follow copy only when, and as far as, it is correct. Whether or not it is correct, you are the judge. Do not excuse yourself by saying, '*I thought the copy was edited;" or, '*I thought the author knew what he wanted." Editors are fallible, and should be made to live up to their own rules. And as for authors, typo- graphically they very often do not know what they want until they see it in type — and not always then. Do not ask authors or editors to decide questions of style. The Manual oj Style is primarily meant for you. Learn its rules by heart, so that you may correct any violation of them you may come upon, without asking questions. Stand on your own feet. In case the copy is not prepared, you ought to be capable of doing the preparing yourself. Do not fall into the fallacy that the author's or editor's O. K. relieves you of all or any part of your responsibility. Authors and editors depend on the proofreader to see to it that the typographical requirements have been met, and that the adopted style has been adhered to, and affix their signatures only on that supposition. Do not shield yourself behind your copyholder. The Manual o j Style: Appendix loi copyholder is there to assist you, not to tell you how to do things. If you think you have cause to suspect her version of a matter, investigate for yourself. Do not read to your copyholder. She is supposed to read to you. A copyholder may or may not be experi- enced and trustworthy enough to control the situation; but that is not what she is paid for. Besides, your mind will be freer to attend to your own part of the work, if you attempt to do only one thing at a time. Do not suggest from your proof a word or phrase which the copyholder has difficulty in making out from the manuscript. Let her work out her own salvation. If she cannot, remember that you are the arbiter, and not the compositor. Let your copyholder do your revising, except in diffi- cult cases. She likes to, and can do it. Your own time is too valuable — or ought to be. If memoranda or verbal instructions are given you bearing upon any particular piece of work you may have in hand, you will be expected to see to it that such direc- tions are adhered to without any further reminder. If work, for whatever reason, is accumulating upon your table faster than you can attend to it, or if you find that you cannot single-handed get out a piece of work at the time promised, notify the one in charge — and notify him in time. Do not permit yourself to be stampeded. Cultivate speed, but remember that accuracy is even more impor- I02 The University of Chicago Press tant. Do things right. If the necessary time is not given you, take it — within reasonable limits. The credit accru- ing to you from detecting an important error at the last moment is likely to outlast the displeasure at your lack of dispatch. In unavoidable cases of "rush," where conditions and orders are imperative, protect yourself by letting it be understood that you have done your best in the time allot- ted you, but must disclaim any further responsibility. Whoever has the final revision for press of a journal or a book should see to it that everything is complete, and that all the preliminary matter — title, copyright, contents, etc. — is there. Contents of journals should be made up at the time the first page-proofs are read. Put your initial at the top of every galley you read or revise. This will save time in tracing proofs, and insure the giving of credit where it belongs. Manual of Style: Appendix 103 HINTS TO COPYHOLDERS Cultivate a low, soft, clear reading-voice. Do not imagine that it is necessary for everyone in the room to hear you. Remember that, from the proofreader's point of view, the small words are as essential as the big ones. Get them all in — and get them in right. Enunciate your plural 5's distinctly. Do not get offended when your reader asks you to repeat, or to look at the copy for himself. He intends no aspersion on your personal integrity. Regulate and equalize your speed. Do not race at a break-neck pace through typewritten copy, while you thread your path fumblingly through the mazes of manu- script. Do not keep guessing at a word. Look at it closely, consider the context, and do not speak it until you have made it out — or at least made the very best guess of which you are capable. Sit at right angles to your reader, if possible. He hears you better, and you can watch his hand better, if you do. Give your reader a chance to make his corrections. Slow up the moment he puts his pencil to the paper. This will save you going over the same ground twice. Evolve your own system of signals. Do not, for I04 T h\e Uln iversity of Chicago Press instance, waste time by saying ''in italics" for every word or letter so treated. Instead, raise your voice, or tap the table with your pencil once for each word, or both. Such a code need not be intelligible to others than your- self and your reader. Do not waste time over matters of style. The proof- reader is supposed to know the rules without your telling him; for instance, what titles are to be set in italics, and what roman-quoted. Be careful in transferring marks. A mark in the wrong place means two errors uncorrected in place of one cor- rected. In sending out proofs, see that everything is there. Arrange the copy and proof-sheets neatly and consecu- tively. When sending out proofs, consult the job ticket for the number wanted, and the name and address of the person to whom they are to be sent. If no number is mentioned, send two ; if no address is given, send to the editor (or the person regularly receiving them). Unless otherwise directed, as soon as you have an article completed, send it out. Don't wait until you have "a whole lot. " The manuscript should accompany the galley-proof; the foul proof (author's marked galley-proof) should accompany the page-proof. In case no galley-proof has been sent, the manuscript should accompany the page- proof. Manual of Style: Appendix 105 Indicate in the lower left-hand corner the contents of all the envelopes you address. Fasten your pins in the center at the top, not diago- nally in the left-hand corner, thus covering up the direc- tions, etc., often written there. Return every evening to the file 01 the book-case any volume that may have been taken out for reference during the day. Remember that you are the housekeeper of the proof- room, and take pride in its neat and orderly appearance. Keeping the records, files, etc., naturally devolves upon you. Perfect your system so that everything can be located at a moment's notice. The more of that kind of work you do without being asked, and the better you do it, the more you will be appreciated. io6 The University of Chicago Press COM PROOFREADERS MARKS Put in capitols t ' Put in 'SMKEL CAPITALS?
