REMARKS.
1. Some commence volume and chapter with a capital, but this is not the usual custom.
2. The volume, chapter, and page may be given, but the volume and page are sufficient.
3. In referring to passages in the Bible, the chapter and verse are given; as Luke, chap. ix. 15. It is the usual custom to omit the word chapter, the letters representing the chapter; and the number, the verse; as, “It may be fit to remember that Moses, Lev. xi. 9, Deut. xiv. 9, appointed fish to be the chief diet of the best commonwealth that ever yet was.”—Izaak Walton.
Rule XVII. Divisions of a Statement.—When a general statement is divided into separate and distinct parts, it is better to commence each division with a capital, even when they do not form complete sentences, and are not separated from each other by a period. This is especially the case when the divisions are numbered.
EXAMPLE.
“The history of the normal development of the individual has its counterpart in the history of humanity. There is, 1. The age of popular and unconscious morality; 2. The transitional, skeptical, or sophistical age; and 3. The philosophic or conscious age of morality.”
