Excerpt from Script and Print: A Practical Primer for Use in the Preparation of Manuscript and Print This little primer has taken form through years of practical work. Many, indeed most, of the rules given therein have been formulated by the author. It is well known that more or less confusion obtains as to the entire subject of which it treats. Of course, rules have been formulated and are more or less observed. But because of the lack of mastery of the subject, and also because usage at certain points is more or less optional, absolute chaos has prevailed and does prevail as to the matter in hand. A merely casual study, if intelligent, of the various publications that come into our possession will convince as to this. The demand for some degree of consistency in our own establishment required rules as to the points involved. Those that are here given have proved their working value. It has been thought that other workers might profit by them if put into available form as a primer. The hope that this may prove true has furnished adequate incentive to the author in its production.
