PREFACES.

Formerly, the preface was uniformly set in Italic; at present Roman is

used, one size larger or smaller than the body of the work. The running

title to the preface is commonly set in the same manner as that of the

body of the work. If the work has been printed without a running title,

and paged in the centre of the line only, then the preface should be

treated in like manner.
