Citation of authorities at the end of quotations should be printed thus:Homer,Odyssey, ii. 15, but printHor.Carm.ii. 14. 2;Hom.Od.iv. 272. This applies chiefly to quotations at the heads of chapters. It does not refer to frequent citations in notes, where the author’s name is usually in lower-case letters, and the title of the book sometimes printed in roman.
As an example: Stubbs,Constitutional History, vol. ii, p. 98; or the more contracted form—Stubbs,Const. Hist.ii. 98, will do equally well; but, whichever style is adopted after an examination of the manuscript, it must be uniform throughout the work.
References to the Bible in ordinary works to be printed thus—Exod. xxxii. 32; xxxvii. 2. (For full list of contractions seep. 41.)
References to Shakespeare’s plays thus—IHenry VI,III.ii. 14; and so with the references to Act, scene, and line in other dramatic writings.
Likewise in references to poems divided into books, cantos, and lines; e.g. Spenser,Faerie Queene,IV.xxvi. 35.
References to MSS. or unprinted documents should be in roman.
As to use of italic, see also above,p. 50.
