Summary "Division of Words" by Frederick W. Hamilton is a technical guide centered on the rules for dividing words at the ends of lines, along with insights into spelling, syllabication, and pronunciation. It is a part of the Typographic Technical Series for Apprentices, likely written in the early 20th century. The book aims to enhance the legibility and aesthetic appeal of printed material while providing practical instructions for typographers and those involved in the printing trade. The content is structured to discuss various aspects of word division, starting from the importance of correct spelling to methods of determining syllabication and proper pronunciation. Hamilton explains the historical context of word division practices, introduces guidelines that enhance readability, and provides rules for dealing with different types of words. The focus is primarily on fostering good spacing and maintaining legibility in printed text. The book includes rules for syllable formation, explanations of phonetics, and detailed observations on accentuation, all aimed at helping printers and apprentices refine their skills in typographic composition.
