Rules for compositors and readers at the University Press, Oxford

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
This was a reference book for typesetters and proofreaders at the University Press, Oxford. While primarily covering English words and grammar, it also addresses French, German, Latin and Greek text in UP books.
Most handheld devices are not able to display the German Fraktur (blackletter) characters. These are used primarily in Appendix III, but elsewhere in the book as well. Some devices running epub3 will display these characters correctly. Modern browsers display Unicode Fraktur as expected.
New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the public domain. It is based on the original cover, which was damaged.
