EXTRACTS FROM THE STYLE BOOK OF THE 
 GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 
 
 A large part of the time of the editorial clerka employed to prepare manuscripts 
 of Government reports for printing is occupied in correcting the typewriter opera- 
 tors' errors in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, the use of figures, the forms of 
 abbreviations, and the use or omission of hyphens in compound words. The correc- 
 tion of these errors involves considerable expense and causes delay in printing. In 
 order to diminish the number of these errors, and thus to reduce the expense of pre- 
 paring copy for printing and to expedite publication, the extracts from the Govern- 
 ment Printing Office Style Book here presented have been printed for the use of 
 typewriter operators engaged in preparing manuscripts of Government reports. The 
 pages selected, except pages 3, 4, and 91, have been printed directly from the elec- 
 trotyped plates of the Style Book without change of page numbers. 
 
 Typewriter operators who are preparing matter that is to be printed should famil- 
 iarize themselves with this pamphlet. A few special directions are given below. 
 
 Use ordinary letter paper and leave a margin of at least an inch at the top of the 
 page, an inch at the left, and at least half an inch at the bottom. The printers pre- 
 fer that every page begin with a paragraph; therefore do not start a paragraph near 
 the bottom of a page. Every page should be numbered. Temporary page numbers 
 should be at the bottom. 
 
 The title of the report should appear not only on the title-page but at the top of 
 the first page of text, with the author's name below it, the name to be written between 
 dashes, one above and one below. 
 
 Write each footnote in the line immediately below the line of text in which the 
 reference mark occurs, separating it from the text above and below by lines running 
 across the page, but do not break the text at the reference mark if it comes in the 
 middle of a line. 
 
 Observe that every table and section is provided with a heading, which should be 
 underscored for italic, and observe also that units of measurement (as feet, inches, 
 pounds, tons) are written at heads of columns of figures representing such units. If 
 dimensions are given in feet and inches use the form "Ft, in." at the head of the 
 column. 
 
 Use etc., not &c. nor et cetera. 
 
 Write "half a mile," "a quarter of a mile," not "a half mile," nor '4 mile," 
 Spell out fractions that stand alone, as "one-half," "three-fourths"; but write ''3^," 
 " If " where the fraction does not stand alone but is joined to a whole number. 
 
 Operators using keyboards bearing no figure 1 should use lower case 1 for this 
 numeral. If capital I is used confusion results, vol, II appearing instead of vol. 11, 
 for example. 
 
 Write 16 by (not x) 24 inches. 
 
 Use a comma after the word preceding "and," " or," or other connective in a series 
 of three or more words or phrases like "clay, sand, and gravel" ; "the upper coal 
 is 21 inches thick, the parting 12 inches, and the lower coal 18 inches," Use a semi- 
 colon before "and" if the other members of the series are separated by semicolons. 
 
 3 
 
Omit the period after viz and per cent and after numbers (1, 2, 3) that stand over 
 colimins in a table. 
 
 Use a. m., p. m. (not A. M., P. M.) with figures denoting clock time. 
 
 Use B. t. u. for British thermal units, c. c. for cubic centimeter, sp. gr. for specific 
 gravity, F. for Fahrenheit, and C. for Centigrade where it is necessary to abbreviate 
 these terms. 
 
 Write June 20 (not June 20th), but the 20th of June. 
 
 Write 2d and 3d, not 2nd and 3rd, for the abbreviations of second and third. 
 
 Note carefully the following " Don'ts " : 
 
 Don't capitalize any words except proper nouns or proper adjectives in text, 
 table of contents, list of illustrations, italic side headings, or legends or titles for 
 illustrations. 
 
 Don't use '^ for '' Do." or "do.," meaning ditto. In tables use " Do." (capitalized) 
 in first and last columns; "do." elsewhere. 
 
 Don't use % for per cent, nor # for No. 
 
 Don't underscore foreign words for italic. 
 
 Don't underscore center headings, and don't fail to underscore side headings. 
 
 Don't put footnotes at the bottom of the page. 
 
 Don't underscore names of fossils when they are arranged in lists or in tables. In 
 text underscore the name of genus and species (or genus, species, and variety), if 
 given together, as Spirifer crispus, Spirifer crispus simplex, but not the generic, 
 family, or other name if it stands alone, as MoUusca, Brachiopoda, Olenellus, Spirifer. 
 
 Don't rewrite matter for the purpose of filling a sheet with typewriting. The 
 printer will not leave blank spaces where they may happen to occur in "copy." 
 The rules that apply to letters in this respect need not be applied to manuscript 
 intended for printing. The presence of erasures or of plainly written interlined 
 words or phrases may be tolerated, and pages containing these need not be rewritten. 
 A complicated table that has been prepared in ink need not be typewritten if the 
 writing is plain in every part, but fine, crowded writing or pale blue prints can not 
 be accepted. The prime requisite is that the matter should be clearly legible. 
 
 Don't crowd anything to economize paper. It is impossible to make "copy" too 
 plain, and room must be left for editorial marking. This direction applies to tables, 
 quoted matter, and footnotes, as well as to text. 
 
RULES AND STYLE OF COMPOSITION. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The following rules and style are tx) be observed in Government printing. Bear 
 in mind that every point can not be specifically covered and that the rules here 
 laid down are to serve as a general guide. 
 
 CAPITALIZATION. 
 
 (See also Capitalization, p. 65.) 
 
 Capitalize proper names, or words used as such, singular or plural; also when used 
 as adjectives, unless the adjective form is a different word, derived from a common 
 noun used as a proper noun in specific cases; for example, President (presidential), 
 Senate (senatorial), Congress (congressional). Province (provincial). Exceptions: 
 Democratic, Territorial, as relating to the Democratic Party or a Territory of the 
 United States. 
 
 Capitalize, singular or plural, with the name or standing alone, the title of any 
 ruler, the name of any national legislative body and its constitutent branches, and 
 the name of domain or administrative subdivisions of any country. This includes 
 dependencies like Australia, Canada, etc. Capitalize also the adjective forms, unless 
 embraced in the exceptions noted in the preceding paragraph. 
 
 Capitalize the titles of State legislative bodies when accompanied by the name, as 
 the Massachusetts General Court, the General Court of Massachusetts, the New York 
 Assembly, the Assembly of New York, the Rhode Island House of Representatives, 
 the House of Representatives of Rhode Island, Ohio Legislature, the Legislature of 
 Ohio; but lower-case the general court, the assembly, the house of representatives, 
 the legislature, etc., when standing alone. 
 
 Capitalize the titles of United States executive departments, bureaus, services, 
 etc., and organizations of the Army and Navy, singular, plural, and adjective forms; 
 lower-case department, bureau, corps, etc., when standing alone. 
 
 Capitalize all geographic terms, singular or^plttralj when with the name. (See 
 also Geographic Names, pp. 24, 46.) 
 
 Capitalize street, avenue, road, lane, etc., singular or plmarl, when with the name. 
 
 Capitalize all titles immediately preceding names of persons, but lower-case when 
 following, except as noted on page 34, and those always capitalized. In addresses 
 and with signatures capitalize both before and after name. 
 
 Capitalize department, bureau, division, office, etc., when used with a name that 
 is capitalized, even though it is not a part of the exact title, as Pension Office for 
 Bureau of Pensions, Census Office for Bureau of the Census, Land Department for 
 General Land Office, Corporations Division for Bureau of Corporations, etc. This 
 refers only to branches of the Government. 
 
 Capitalize a fanciful or popular appellation as if a real name, as Keystone State, 
 Bay State, City of Churches, Monumental City, Capital City, Windy City, the Hub, 
 Great Father (the President), etc. 
 
 Capitalize names of monuments, tombs, statues, etc., when of a public character, 
 as Bunker Hill Monument, Grant's Tomb, Rochambeau Statue, Statue of Liberty, 
 etc.; but lower-case the words ** monument," *'tomb," *' statue," etc., when used 
 in a general way, as the statue of Columbus, the tomb of Napoleon, etc. 
 
 Capitalize such terms as the following when with a name or number and used as a 
 proper noun. Care must be taken not to confound a proper adjective with a proper 
 noun. For instance, the Johnson House would mean a hotel and therefore be a 
 proper noun; but should a house be referred to that was the property of or occupied 
 by a family named Johnson, it would be the Johnson house. Pier A or Pier 19, 
 but at the White Star Line's pier; Boston Light, Boston and Boone Island Lights, 
 etc., but Massachusetts Bay lights.

 adverbs, verbs, and first and last words in headings set in caps and lower case or caps 
 and small caps, titles of books, j)ublications, lectures, etc., when it is intended that 
 the principal words shall be capitalized. 
 
 Lower-case, when standing alone, the common noun in titles, except Government, 
 Army, and Navy; for example, Treasury Department, Patent Office, Labor Bureau, 
 and Interstate Commerce Commission should be referred to as the department, the 
 office, the bureau, and the commission; but the Government, the Army, and the 
 Navy for United States Government, United States Army, and United States Navy.

 The scheme for th6 use of hjrphens in petrographic terms is based on the single 
 principle that like names are connected by a hyphen and unlike names are not. 
 The names used in such terms are of four classes — (a) rock names, (6) mineral 
 names, (c) textural names, and (d) names expressing the kind of clastic aggregation. 
 Any two or more names of either class are connected by a hyphen; others are not. 
 The principal names of classes c and d are as follows: (c) Felsophyre, gneiss, 
 porphyry, schist, vitrophyre; (d) agglomerate, breccia, conglomerate, sand, tuff. 
 
 The subjomed examples will serve to illustrate the principle: 
 
 biotite gneiss, 
 diabase-gabbro. 
 glaucophane schist. 
 
 granite gneiss, 
 omblende-mica andesite. 
 latite-phonolite. 
 
 leucite granite porphyry, 
 mica diorite porphyry, 
 olivine-augite andesite. 
 orthoclase gabbro-diorite. 
 pyroxene-mica diorite. 
 quartz-biotite-gamet gneiss. 
 
 quartz-mica latite. 
 quartz monzonite porphyry, 
 quartz-tourmaline porphyry- 
 syenite-pegmatite.

 Spell such expressions as ''the early seventies," "it occurred in the eighties." 
 When a fiscal year or a year extending into the following year is intended, use 
 an en dash and contract, except 1900-1901, as 1875-76, 1801-2 (this applies to 
 dates only; in page folios, etc., repeat the number in full); if a period of more 
 than two years is intended, do not contract, as 1875-1879, 1895-1904; if two or 
 more separate years are intended, use comma, as 1894, 1895; 1873, 1876; 1888^ 
 1891, 1894. 
 
 DECIMALS. Use figures for decimals and supply cipher when there is no unit, as 
 0.25; 20 ounces of silver, 0.900 fine; it costs $0.3365 per pound; scrap, at 0.75 
 cent per pound; referring to caliber of small arms, .30 caliber, .45-caliber Spring- 
 field rifle, distinguishing, however, when used to describe the length of a gun, 
 as a 6-inch rapid-fire rifle, 50 calibers. 
 
 DEGREES, ETC. Longitude 77° 04^ 06^^ E., latitude 49° 26^ 14^^ N.; a polariscopic 
 test of 85°; 45.5° below zero; an angle of 57°; 25^.5 or 25.5^, as written. 
 
 DIMENSIONS. Use the form 8 by 12 inches in text, not 8 x 12 inches nor 8 x 12^^ 
 
 DISTANCES. Express in figures, as 50 miles, 17 yards, 8 leagues, 9 centimeters, 5 
 feet 6 inches, about 10 miles; but when a fraction of a mile is given spell, as one- 
 half mile. 
 
 ENUMERATIONS. 
 
 Use figures for all enumerations of weights and measures. 
 
 In such examples as the following use figures unless under 10, but all the enumer- 
 ations should be in figures in a group where any one enumeration is 10 or more: 
 There were 20 males and 25 females, 45 in all; six horses; 10 horses; 6 horses, 5 cows, 
 and 26 head of sheep; 25 bulletins, containing 352 pages; the population of 
 Chicago is more than 2,000,000; a hamlet of 18 persons; a 6-f0oter. When com- 
 plicated spell, as twenty-five 6-inch guns, two f-inch boards, five 5-cent pieces, 
 seven 8-hour days, etc. 
 
 Spell such expressions as the following: Between two and three hundred horses, 
 forty-odd people, one hundred and odd men (not 100 odd men); the population 
 is forty or fifty thousand. 
 
 FRACTIONS. Spell common fractions when alone. When J is marked "spell, " use 
 "one-fourth." If written "one-quarter," do not change, except to secure uni- 
 formity. (See also Compound and noncompound words, p. 92.) 
 
 MEASURES. Use figures in all cases, as 40 bushels, 1 gallon, 6 acres, etc.

 Omit the diaeresis in such words as aerate, cooperation, preemption, reexamine, 
 zoology, etc., and the accent in "ampere" and derivatives. 
 
 Use accents in foreign proper names and words unless otherwise directed, but not 
 in geographic names.

 in Newfoundland, Quebec, and Cape Colony. 
 
 The following authorities, in the order given, govern the spelling of geographic 
 names. 
 
 Correct Orthography of Geographic Names (decisions of the United States Geo- 
 graphic Board). 
 
 United States Postal Guide.

 apostrophes. 
 INDIAN NAMES. Follow copy in the use of spaces and hyphens in Indian proper 
 
 names; also the spelling of tribal names. 
 PLURALS OF TITLES. The plurals of military titles are formed by adding "s" at 
 end, as major generals, lieutenant colonels, surgeon generals, etc., but sergeants 
 major. Civil titles usually add "s" to first part, as Attorneys General, Post- 
 masters General, etc.

KtriES AND STYLE OF COMPOSITION. 
 
 47 
 
 POSSESSIVES AND APOSTBOPHES. 
 
 Nouns in the singular, or in the plural when ending with any letter other than "s," 
 
 require an apostrophe and *'s," as man's, men's, child's, children's, Dennis's, 
 
 Felix's, Burns's, Essex's, witness's, countess's. State's attorney, State's evidence, 
 
 etc. 
 Exceptions to the foregoing: Sergeant at Arms' room, for righteousness' sake, for 
 
 conscience' sake, for goodness' sake, for Jesus' sake. In titles of books the exact 
 
 form should be used, as Hinds' Precedents. 
 Plural nouns ending in "s" require only the apostrophe, as the boys' swimming 
 
 hole, the horses' trough, fingers' ends, the Charleses' reigns, the Joneses' ball, 
 
 the countesses' reception, the witnesses' testimony. 
 Do not use the posessive form in such expressions as day labor, quartermaster 
 
 stores. State prison, the doctrine of State rights. 
 Use the singular form for such expressions as printer's ink, 125 miner's inches. 
 
 TERMINATION OF WORDS, ETC. 
 
 Proofreaders, compositors, and writers are often confused as to the correct termina- 
 tion of words ending in "ible" or "able." The following list, giving the words 
 terminating in "ible," will be found useful. Other words of this class terminate 
 with ''able."

 Errors are often found in the plurals of nouns ending in "o." To prevent error, 
 observe the following general rule: If there is a consonant before the final 
 "o," the plural is "es"; but if a vowel precedes the "o," the plural is formed 
 by addiug the "s" only. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule, and 
 they are here given, as follows : 
 
 albinos. 
 
 embryos. 
 
 merinos. 
 
 sextos. 
 
 armadillos. 
 
 Eskimos. 
 
 mestizos. 
 
 siroccos. 
 
 cantos. 
 
 gauchos. 
 halos.

 Many persons find it difficult or impossible to recollect the relative position of "e" 
 and "i" in such words as ''receive," ''believe," etc. If they will bear in mind 
 the following rule, it may save them the trouble of referring to a dictionary to 
 determine this point: 
 When the derivative noun ends in "tion," the verb is spelled with "ei," thus: 
 
 conception— conceive. deception— deceive. reception— receive. 
 
 But when the noun does not end in "tion," the verb is spelled with "ie," as: 
 
 belief— believe. 
 
 The following rule for using "ei" and "ie" will be found convenient: Bear in 
 mind the word "lice" — "i" follows "1" and "e" follows "c," thus, li-ce. 
 
 Following is a Ust of the words beginning with "s" and followed by "ei" or "ie," 
 the parts of words in parentheses to be joined to the prefix (in heavy type) as a 
 single word : 
 
 seiches. 
 
 seidlitz. 
 
 seigneurial. 
 
 seignior (age, al, alty, y). 
 
 seine (er, ing). 
 
 seirospore. 
 
 seismal (mic, mism, mograph, mographic, mo- 
 gram mography, mological, mology, mom- 
 eter, mometric, mometry, moscope, motic). 
 
 seity. 
 
 seize (able, er, in, ing, or, ure). 
 siege (work). 
 sienite (ic). 
 sienna. 
 
 sierra, 
 siesta, 
 sieur. 
 sieva. 
 sieve. 
 
 Only three words of our language end in "ceed" (exceed, proceed, and succeed), 
 and one only ends in "sede" (supersede). Therefore "cede" always follows the 
 syllables "pre," "inter," "con,^' "se," "ac," "ante," "re," and "retro." In 
 adding the suffix "ity" to words of more than one syllable, only one word has a 
 double "1" (tranquillity). 
 
 The following is a list of nouns not compounds of "man," though with that 
 termination, the plurals of which are formed by adding "s" and not by the 
 termination "men." 
 
 aman. 
 
 cayman. 
 
 daman. 
 
 dolman. 
 
 dragoman. 
 
 German. 
 
 Use "a" before all consonants and aspirated "h," as a history, a human being; 
 but do not use it before a silent "h," as an honorable man, an honest man. 
 Use "an" before all vowels except long "u," as in union, and "o," as in one.

 AND "AN.'» 
 
 
SOME RULES FOR THE USE OF HYPHENS. 
 
 Most compound adjectives that precede the nouns qualified take hyphens, as 
 ' ' first-class work/ ' ' ' enlarged-homestead act, " " pig-iron manufacture, ' ' ' ' 40-horse- 
 power engine," "3-inch pipe." Use a hyphen after "well" and "ill" in phrases 
 like " a well-established industry," "ill-advised action"; but write "the industry 
 is well established." Omit hyphens if the first word of the compound adjective is 
 qualified by another term, as "a fairly well defined rating curve"; also if one or 
 more of the words are capitalized, as "Portland cement industry," "Geological 
 Survey work." The prefix "non" is usually joined to the word it qualifies, but 
 write "non coal-bearing rocks." Adverbs ending in "ly" are not compounded, as 
 "hastily written matter," "carefully prepared report." 
 
 The ordinary rule for compound adjectives applies to color terms: Bluish-gray 
 shale, light-green clay, light greenish-gray marble, slightly purplish gray marble, 
 milk-white quartz, blue-green tourmaline, deep-reddish dolomite, gray-greenish beds, 
 pale cream color. Hyphenate also, in any position, (a) a color term made up of two 
 color names: The tourmaline is blue-green in color, this marble is pink-white; (b) a 
 color term made up of a color name preceded by a noun that indicates the shade: 
 Brick-red, olive-green, jet-black, sky-blue, milk-white, verdigris-green, flint-gray; 
 (c) a color term made up of a noun that indicates the color followed by "colored," 
 "tinted," or some similar word: Cream-colored, salmon-colored, tan-colored, ivory- 
 tinted. "Colored " should always be Used with a term that in its primary meaning 
 does not express color, as chocolate-colored clays, not chocolate clays. 
 
 The Geological Survey has adopted a uniform scheme for the use of hyphens in 
 petrographic terms, based on the single principle that like names are connected by a 
 hyphen, and unlike names are not. The names used in such terms are of four 
 classes — (a) rock names, (6) mineral names, (c) textural names, and (d) names ex- 
 pressing the kind of clastic aggregation. Any two or more names of either class are 
 connected by a hyphen; others are not. The principal names of classes c and c? are 
 as follows: (c) Felsophyre, gneiss, porphyry, schist, vitrophyre; {d) agglomerate, 
 breccia, conglomerate, sand, tuff. Examples: 
 
 biotite gneiss. greenstone schist. lime-soda feldspar, 
 
 biotite-quartz monzonite. hornblende andesite. mica schist, 
 
 clay shale. hornblende-mica andesite. muscovite mica, 
 
 granite gneiss. latite-andesite. plagioclase feldspar, 
 
 granite-syenite porphyry. leucite basalt. quartz monzonite porphyry.

COMPOUND AND NONCOMPOUND WORDS. 
 
 COMPOUND WORDS. 
 
 (See also Age, Bonds and stocks, and Percentage, pp. 35, 36.) 
 
 Follow Webster's New International Dictionary generally in the use or omission of 
 the hyphen or space between words. The Vocabulary of double words (p. 93) and 
 Geologic ages, etc . (p . 25) , are inserted for convenient reference . They show some vari- 
 ations which are to be followed. Compound adjectives generally take the hyphen. 
 
 all-round man. joint-stock company. 35-candlepower lamp, 
 
 asked-for opinion. light-green color. 75-liorsepower engine, 
 
 contested-election case. national-bank note or notes. 12-incli main, 
 
 cotton-boll weevil. sea-island cotton. f-inch pipe, 
 
 iron-ship builder. State-bank note or notes. ten 10-horsepower cars. 
 
 Do not confuse a qualifying word with a subject word; for instance, a shoemaker 
 may be a German shoemaker. If he makes wooden shoes, he is a wooden-shoe maker. 
 Also observe the following forms: Young school-teacher, common-school teacher, 
 high-school teacher, public-school teacher, etc. 
 
 A present or past participle with a noun or an adjective may take a hyphen in such 
 expressions as the following: Always wind-obeying deep; well-dealing countrymen; 
 dark-working sorceress; soul-killing witches; fool-begged patience, etc. 
 
 Adverbs ending with "ly" are not usually compounded with the adjectives which 
 they qualify, as a "nicely kept lawn." But words like "above," "ill," "well," 
 "so," etc., are compounded in such expressions as "the well-known writer," "the 
 so-called tariff reform," "this ill-advised expenditure," "the last-named article," etc. 
 
 Fractions, when spelled, should be compounded: One twenty-first, one-fifth, eighty- 
 one one-hundredths, one one-hundredth, the one-hundredth part, one one-hundred- 
 and-twentieth, two one-hundred-and-twenty-sixths. 
 
 When used adjectively, the expressions "first-class," "second-class," etc., are to 
 be hyphenated; otherwise they should be printed as two words: A first-class passage, 
 a first-class man, a man of the first class, a work of the second class, etc. 
 
 In such expressions as the "January- June period," "Washington-Baltimore im- 
 provement," etc., when used adjectively, use hyphens; but to indicate the elision 
 of the word "to," in such expressions as "the period January-June," use an en dash. 
 
 Mr. So-and-so. 
 
 NONCOMPOUND WORDS. 
 
 Omit the hyphen in civil and military titles, as Attorney General, Postmaster 
 General, Paymaster General, brigadier general, lieutenant colonel, etc. 
 
 Omit the hyphen in such Latin forms as "an ex officio member," "ante bellum 
 days," "prima facie evidence," "per diem employees," etc.; and also in such cases 
 aa "life (or fire) insurance company," "ocean mail lines," "railway rate legislation," 
 "street car lines," etc. 
 
 Omit the hyphen in abbreviated terms except "sec. -ft."

VOCABULARY OF DOUBLE WORDS. 
 
 Double words not found in this vocabulary or in the New International Dic- 
 tionary (edition of 1910) should be separated by a space. 
 
 Prefixes are in bold-faced type. 
 
 When a suffix is preceded by a hyphen, use a hyphen; if not, make one word. 
 
 ''The rest take hyphen," "the rest one word," means all others of the same 
 class found in the New International Dictionary. 
 
 The abbreviations (a.), for adjective; (adv.), for adverb; (n.), for noun; or (v.), 
 for verb after a word restrict the use of the word to the part of speech indicated. 
 
 Words taking the suffix "like" should be one word, unless ending in "11," when 
 a hyphen should be used, as shell-like, etc. 
 
 The elements of many double words may be used separately. Observe the caution 
 as to qualifying and subject words under the heading "Compound words," and do 
 not make a compound unless the sense requires it.
