Roman-ism, Puritan-ism; but Agnosti-cism, Catholi-cism, criti-cism, fanati-cism, tauto-logism, witti-cism, &c.
The terminations -cial, -cian, -cious, -sion, -tion should not be divided when forming one sound, as in so-cial, Gre-cian, pugna-cious, condescen-sion, forma-tion.
Atmo-sphere, micro-scope, philo-sophy, tele-phone, tele-scope, should have only this division. But always print episco-pal (not epi-scopal), &c.[47]
A divided word should not end a page, if it is possible to avoid it.
