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

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.

31. The first word after a colon only when introducing
a complete passage, or sentence which would have
independent meaning, as in summarizations and quo-
tations not closely connected with what precedes;
or where the colon has the weight of such expression
as ''as follows," ''namely," "for instance," or a
similar phrase, and is followed by a logically com-
plete sentence:

"In conclusion I wish to say: It will be seen from the above
that ....;" *'As the old proverb has it: 'Haste makes
waste;'" "My theory is: The moment the hot current strikes
the surface ....;" "Several objections might be made to
this assertion : First, it might be said that . . . ."

14 The University o j Chicago Press

But do not capitalize the first word of a quotation, if
immediately connected with what precedes (unless,
as the first word of a sentence, beginning a paragraph
in reduced type) ; nor the first word after a colon, if
an implied ''namely," or a similar term, is followed
by a brief explanatory phrase, logically dependent
upon the preceding clause; or if the colon signal-
izes a note of comment:

''The old adage is true that 'haste makes waste;'" "Two
explanations present themselves: either he came too late for
the train, or he was detained at the station;" "We could not
prevail upon the natives to recross the stream: so great was
their superstition."

32. As a rule, the first word in sections of enumeration,
if any individual link contains two or more distinct
clauses (not inclosed in parentheses), separated by
a semicolon, colon, or period, unless all are depend-
ent upon the same term preceding them and leading
up to them:

"His reasons for refusal were three: (i) He did not have the
time. (2) He did not have the means; or, at any rate, had no
funds available at the moment. (3) He doubted the feasibility
of the plan." But: "He objected that (i) he did not have the
time; (2) he did not have the means; or, at any rate, had no
funds available; (3) he doubted the feasibility of the plan."
(See 125.)

33. As a rule, nouns followed by a numeral — particu-
larly a capitalized Roman numeral — indicating their
order in a sequence:

the abbreviation of these words see 100.)

34. The first word of a cited speech (thought) in direct

discourse, whether preceded by a colon or a comma

(on this see 118):

"On leaving he remarked: 'Never shall I forget this day;'"
"With the words, 'Never shall I forget this day,' he departed;"
"I thought to myself: This day I shall never forget" (without
quotation marks).

35. In resolutions, the first words following "Whereas"

and ^^ Resolved'^ (these are preceded by a comma):

Whereas, It has pleased God . . . . ; therefore be it
Resolved, That ....

36. The exclamations '' O " and " Oh " :

" O Lord! " " Oh, that I were home again! "

37. All the principal words (i. e., nouns, pronouns,
adjectives, adverbs, verbs, first and last words) in
English titles of publications (books, pamphlets, doc-
uments, periodicals, reports, proceedings, etc.), and
their divisions (parts, chapters, sections, poems, arti-
cles, etc.); in subjects of lectures, papers, toasts, etc.;
in cap-and-small-cap and itahc center-heads (both
of which, however, should be avoided), and bold-

heads in tables (for illustrations of these see 260-63) :

The Men Who Made the Nation; The American College —
Its Past and Present; the Report of the Committee of Nine;
"In the Proceedings of the National Educational Association
for 1899 there appeared a paper entitled, 'What Should Be
the Attitude of the University on the Political Questions of
Today ? ' " (In mentioning newspapers and magazines do not
treat the definite article "the" as part of the title, unless
necessary to the sense: the Forum, the North American
Review, the Chicago Tribune; but: The World To-Day.)

Note. — The Botanical Gazette capitalizes only first words
and proper names.

In foreign titles of the same class follow these general
rules: In Latin, capitalize proper nouns and adjec-
tives; in French, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish,
capitalize only proper nouns ; in German and Dan-
ish, capitalize both common and proper nouns; in
Dutch, follow the same general rules as in German,
and capitalize also proper adjectives:

De amicitia, Bellum Gallicum; Histoire de la litterature
frangaise, Novelle e racconti popolari italiani, Antologia de
poetas liricos castellanos, Svenska litteraturens historic; Ge-
schichte des deutschen Feudalwesens, Videnskabens Fremskridt

For illustration and exception see 118; cf. 31.

Manual of Style: Italics 21

THE USE OF ITALICS

Italicize —

50. Words or phrases to which it is desired to lend

emphasis, importance, etc.:

"This was, however, not the case;" "It is sufficiently plain
that the sciences of life, at least, are studies of processes."

51. From foreign languages, words and phrases inserted
into the English text, and not incorporated into the
English language; and single sentences or brief pas-
sages not of sufficient length to call for reduced type

(see 75) :

''the Darwinian Weltanschauung;^^ ''Napoleon's coup d^etat;^'
"the debater par excellence of the Senate;" "De gustibus non
est disputanduMy or, as the French have it, Chacun d son
goUtr

But do not italicize foreign titles preceding names,

or names of foreign institutions or places the meaning

or position of which in English would have required

roman type, and which either are without English

equivalents or are by preference used in lieu of these ;

nor words of everyday occurrence which have become

sufficiently anglicized, although still retaining their

accents :

P^re Lagrange, Freiherr von Schwenau; the German
Reichstag, the Champs Elysdes, the Museo delle Terme;

52 . Titles of publications — books (including plays, essays,
cycles of poems, and single poems of considerable
length, usually printed separately, and not from the
context understood to form parts of a larger vol-
ume), pamphlets, treatises, tracts, documents, and
periodicals (including regularly appearing proceed-
ings and transactions; and also applying to the
name of a journal appearing in the journal itself) :

Spencer, Principles of Sociology; A Midsummer Night's
Dream; Carlyle, Essay on Burns; Idylls of the King; Paradise
Lost; the Independent, the Modern Language Review, the Chi-
cago Tribune, Report of the United States Commissioner of
Education, Transactions of the Illinois Society for Child Study.

Note. — The Botanical Gazette uses itahcs for such titles in the
"^ text only; in footnotes, reman. Its own name it prints in caps
and small caps.

Manual of Style: Italics 23

Books of the Bible, both canonical and apocryphal,
and titles of ancient manuscripts, should be set in
roman type (see 27 and 38).

53. The following words, phrases, and abbreviations
used in literary references :

ibid.j idem, loc. cit., op. cit.,ad loc, s. v., supra, infra, passim, vide .

But do not itahcize —

cf., i.e., e. g. (set with a thin space).

54. Address lines in speeches, reports, etc., and primary
address lines in letters:

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen :

Mr. 'John Smith, J2i Dearborn Street, Chicago, III.

Dear Sir: I take pleasure in announcing ....
(Set this flush, in a separate line, with nouns capitalized [see 43].)

55. In signatures, the position or title added after the
name. If this consists of only one word, it is run into
the same line with the name; if of more than one,
but no longer than the name, center the first letter
under the name line, and indent one em on the
right ; if longer than the name, center the name over
the second hne and set this flush. These rules are,
however, subject to the exigencies of special cases:

Arthur P. Maguire, Secretary

Yours very truly,

Carter H. H,\rrison

Mayor of Chicago

Charles M. Gayley
Professor of English Language and Literature

24 The University of Chicago Press

56. a), b)y c)j etc., used to indicate subdivisions (single

65. Quotations from different authors following each
other uninterrupted by any intervening original
matter.

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 0 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 :

word "and" (& =" short and" or "ampersand"), in
names of commercial firms :

34 The University oj Chicago Press

The Macmillan Co., Macmillan & Co., Harper Bros. ; Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad.

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.

100. 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

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.

Manual oj Style: Punctuation 39

PUNCTUATION

108. 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 0 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 0 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 0 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

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.

' S. I. Curtiss, "The Place of Sacrifice among Primitive
Semites," Biblical World, XXI (1903), 248 ff.

3 "Structural Details in Green Mountain Region," Bulletin
iQS, U. S. Geological Survey.

219. 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).

Note. — Exceptions to these rules are footnotes in the Botani-
cal Gazette, the Astrophysical Journal, and Classical Philology
and the Classical Journal, which have adopted the following
styles :

TABULAR WORK

221. 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.

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.

TECHNICAL TERMS

EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

The Point System —

232. 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.

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:

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

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

table (see 231).

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

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

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.

Wlien thoughtful flreeka like Polybius biiw the full of Carthage and of Corinth, they must have
felt that they had reached one of the great turning-points in the world's liistory. There was no longer
any doubt that all the civilized nations hitherto at variance, or at war, distracted by reason of con-
trasts iu population, in government, in language, in traditions, would now be directed by the will of
one people, by the influence of one system of law, by the predominance of a common language.

It was not the first time that this grand prospect had been held forth to the world. When Alex-
ander was yet a young man, returning from his conquests in the far East, men must have anticipated,
as very near, an empire not unlike that of Rome; for the conquest of the West would have been no
difficult matter to Alexander, with all the resources of Asia under his hand. The successes of Pyrrhus,
with his small army, against the adult Rome of the third century, fresh from her Samnite conquests,
show what would have been the successes of Alexander, with his giant genius and armaments, against
the younger and feebler republic. And if the realization of the conqueror's dreams was hindered by
his early death, most of the early Diadochi had each for many hard-fought years aspired to 1)e his sole
successor, hoping to complete his work and regenerate the distracted world by the potent influence of
Hellenistic culture.

When thoughtful Greeks like Polybius saw the fall of Carthage
and of Corinth, they must have felt that they had reached one
of the great turning-points in the world's history. There was no
longer any doubt that all the civilized nations hitherto at variance,
or at war, distracted by reason of contrasts in population, in govern-
ment, in language, in traditions, would now be directed by the
will of one people, by the influence of one system of law, by the
predominance of a common language.

It is not the first time that this grand prospect had been held
forth to the world. When Alexander was yet a young man, re-
turning from his conquests in the far East, men must have anti-
cipated, as very near, an empire not unlike that of Rome; for
the conquest of the West would have been no difficult matter to
Alexander, with all the resources of Asia under his hand. The
successes of Pyrrhus, with his small army, against the adult Rome
of the third century, fresh from her Samnite conquests, show what
would have been the successes of Alexander, with his giant genius
and armaments, against the younger and feebler republic. And
if the realization of the conqueror's dreams was hindered by his
early death, most of the early Diadochi had each for many hard-
fought years aspired to be his sole successor, hoping to complete
his work and regenerate the distracted world by the potent influence
of Hellenistic culture.

coupled with aggressive wars under the guise of securing ever-widening frontiers,
such as those which mark the rapid strides of Philip's Macedonia?
