or, the Art of Pointing familiarized, and illustrated by Passages from the best Writers. With an explanation of all the Marks or Characters made use of in English Writings; the proper Use of Capital Letters; a copious List, with the Meaning, of those Initials or Abbreviatures of Latin and other Words, of which many are not generally understood by the English Reader; and an Explanation of all the Technical Terms relative to books.
By Cecil Hartley, M.A. Author of Principles of Elocution, and of the Sciences. Composed for the use of Seminaries of Education, and for all who aspire to accuracy in Composition.
A book of this description, calculated to give young people an insight into the Science of Punctuation, has long been wanted; and we are glad to see the defect remedied by a gentleman so well qualified for the task as Mr. Hartley. The examples appended to the text, in the form of notes, are various and well chosen; and the work is such as we can safely recommend to those who wish to make themselves acquainted with this essential, but too commonly neglected, branch of Science. — New Monthly Mag.
