Sinossi
Excerpt from The Magazine Style-Code, 1906: Abbreviations, the Use of Capital Letters, Compound Words, Etc;, Fully Illustrated and Explained
It was discovered that there never has been any formal style-code in use by the De Vinne Century printers. They have learned the style by studying De Vinne's Correct Composition and like works of his on typography. Office experience teaches printers the written and un written laws of the De Vinne code.
The method of the Century printers has been largely the method of the author of this manual. By correspondence with Mr. De Vinne, by studying his books, and by the prac tical application of his rules to the work of many offices the writer has come to know his methods, which are believed to be the simplest and most scholarly in use in the United States today. More than eighty per cent of the rules herein expounded are codified from the works of De Vinne, or gleaned from Teall and sim ilar sources of indisputable authority. The work of the Chicago Proofreaders' Association has been found helpful in the compounding of words.
