affects a solid squaring up and hesitates at no means to secure its
effects. It sets a definite measure and forces the lines into it, dividing
words arbitrarily and using no hyphen. This is a passing fancy and will
pass as eccentricities always pass. It should not be used unless the author
insists upon it. The man who pays the bills has a right to have his work
done as he pleases. The intelligent printer, however, will not allow the
peculiarities of the individual customer to affect his general practice.


_Note_

The pupil is referred to the appendix to DeVinne's "Correct Composition"
for rules for the division of French, German, and Spanish words. The same
appendix contains also a very excellent list of words which are spelled
differently by different authorities, together with divisions for them.
