REFERENCES TO AUTHORITIES
Citation of authorities at the end of quotations should be printed thus: Homer, Odyssey, ii. 15, but print Hor. 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 see [p. 41].)
References to Shakespeare’s plays thus—I Henry 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].
