by William Johnson Cocker

REMARKS.

1. It is better to divide a word as near the middle as possible.

2. When two words one at the end of a line and the other at the commencement of the following line, are separated by a punctuation mark, it should be placed at the end of the line, and never at the beginning.

MISCELLANEOUS MARKS.

I. Two Commas (”) indicate that the word under which they are placed is to be repeated.

Charles Harrison, Adrian, Mich.

Clinton Hardy, ” ”

II. The Caret (^) indicates that something is written above the line that forms a part of the sentence. It is only used in writing.
