Summary |
"Rules for Compositors and Readers at the University Press, Oxford" by Horace Hart is a reference guide intended for typesetters and proofreaders, written in the early 20th century. This practical manual focuses on the intricacies of typography, spelling, and grammar, especially for English and related languages, and is a valuable resource for those working within the printing industry. The opening of the work lays the groundwork for its purpose, which is to provide clear rules and examples for ensuring consistent and accurate typesetting. It outlines the structure of the book, including sections on spelling rules, punctuation guidance, and treatment of foreign terms, while also mentioning the contributions of various experts in the field. The preface explains the book's evolution from a more informal document used by press personnel at the Oxford University Press to a formal edition now available to a broader audience interested in typographic standards.
