, and no good writer will fail to use them. Usage
varies somewhat in regard to capitals in some other places. Such
expressions as Ohio river, Lincoln school, Jackson county, state of
Illinois, once had both names capitalized. The present tendency is to
write them as above. Even titles of honor are not capitalized unless they
are used with a proper name; for example, He introduced General Grant The
general then spoke.
+3. Rules of Capitalization.+--1. Every sentence and every line of poetry
begin with capitals.
2. Every direct quotation, except brief phrases and subordinate parts of
sentences, begins with a capital.
3. Proper nouns and adjectives derived from proper nouns begin with
capitals. Some adjectives, though derived from proper nouns, are no longer
capitalized; _e.g._ voltaic.
4. Titles of honor when used with the name of a person begin with
capitals.
5. The first word and every important word in the titles of books, etc.,
begin with capitals.
6. The pronoun I and the interjection O are always capitalized.
7. Names applied to the Deity are capitalized and pronouns referring
thereto, especially if personal, are usually capitalized.
8. Important words are often capitalized for emphasis, especially words in
text-books indicating topics.
+4. Punctuation.+--The meaning of a sentence depends largely on the
grouping of words that are related in sense to each other. When we are
reading aloud we make the sense clear by bringing out to the hearer this
grouping.
