REMARKS.
1. When each division commences with a capital and is also numbered, they will be more readily recognized and understood.
2. Some writers number the divisions, but do not commence them with capitals; as, “The teaching of composition requires, (1) a cultivation of thought; and (2) a cultivation of the faculty of expression.” It is better to commence each division with a capital.
3. When a sentence is broken off to commence a new line, in order to give special prominence to a statement, or to attract attention, a capital should be used; as,—
I am, dear Mother,
Your dutiful son,
Sam. Johnson.
