About this book
Capitals by Frederick W. Hamilton is a primer of information about capitalization with some practical typographic hints as to the use of capitals. The contents list, among others, gives Use of Full Capitals, Small Capitals and Suggestions as to Typographic Use of Capitals. The introduction says a capital letter is a letter of formal shape, that capitals were originally derived from the stiff and angular letters used in formal inscriptions, and that originally all writing was done in capitals.
The text says the purpose of capitals is to emphasize the words in which they are employed. In manuscript, capitals are indicated by three lines under a word or letter, and small capitals by two lines. The text says words which begin or end with A Y L V W T may need spaces a little less than those with H I M.
