Excerpt from Punctuation, and Other Typographical Matters: For the Use of Printers, Authors, Teachers
This work was originally intended to lay down plain and practical rules for compositors and proof-readers, which should be brief enough to be readily kept in mind, and simple enough to be at once comprehended. But I hope that it may also be of use to authors and teachers, as well as to pupils in colleges and schools, in which the practice of composition is now so general a requirement. Business men, likewise, who have occasion to print circulars and advertisements, may find a knowledge of the subjects here treated to be very useful.
The tendency of the present day is decidedly to a less stiff and formal punctuation than that laid down in either Murray's or Goold Brown's Grammar, and no one now would punctuate so closely as their rules require. It has become a recognized principle, that Punctuation is as much a matter of taste and judgment as of rigid rule; and while certain rules are positive, and to be followed absolutely, much is to be left to the discretion of the author.
The treatise of Wilson is by far the best work treating fully on this subject; but it is altogether too large for the purpose for which this little volume is designed.
