Make the pages or folios small, one-fourth of a foolscap sheet
is large enough.
Leave the second page of each leaf blank; or, in other words,
write on one side of the paper only.
Give to the written page an ample margin all round; or
fold down the left hand side to the extent of one-fourth the width
of the entire paper so as to leave a broad margin on the left side
of the paper.
Number the pages; in the order of their succession.
Write in a plain, bold, legible hand, without regard to beauty
of appearance.
Use no abbreviations which are not to appear in print.
Punctuate the manuscript as it should be printed.
For italics underscore one line; for small capitals, two;
capitals, three.
Never interline without the caret (^) to show its place.
Take special pains with every letter in proper names.
