Excerpt from History for Ready Reference, Vol. 1 of 6: From the Best Historians, Biographers, and Specialists; Their Own Words in a Complete System of History; A to Electors The authors of books have other rights beyond their rights of property, to which respect has been paid. No liberties have been taken with the text of their writings, except to abridge by omissions, which are indicated by the customary signs. Occasional interpolations are marked by enclosure in brackets. Abridgment by paraphrasing has only been resorted to when unavoidable, and is shown by the interruption of quotation marks. In the matter of different spellings, it has been more difficult to preserve for each writer his own. As a rule this is done, in names, and in the divergences between English and American orthography but, since much of the matter quoted has been taken from American editions of English books, and since both copyists and printers have worked under the habit of American spell ings, the rule may not have governed with strict consistency throughout.
