As a result of this, the subject-matter is not treated consecutively, systematically, or exhaustively. Some references to momentary events at the time of writing, even, have been left unchanged. It is hoped, however, that, even with the acknowledged imperfections, the book may be found suggestive and useful by those to whose service it is dedicated in the title-page. Some of the chapters are slightly technical, having been originally addressed to proof-readers only; but even these are thought to be sufficiently general in their composition to be interesting and useful to authors and editors. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Compounding of English Words: When and Why Joining or Separation Is Preferable, With Concise Rules and Alphabetical Lists In planning the essay, I decided that the best result could be attained by making it meet a prae tical need of some one large class of workers in language, and I have selected printers as the persons whose work most largely demands efficient guidance. I have accordingly endeavored to give the results of my study in the way best adapted to the use of printers.

He was born in 1822, at Fort Ann, Washington County, New York, the fifth of the eight children of Horace Valentine and Sarah Buyss (Shaw) Teall and a great-grandson of Oliver Teall, a druggist, who emigrated from England to New Haven about 1723. Horace Valentine Teall was a minister of the sect founded by Abner Jones, but, persuaded by the arguments of William Miller, confidently awaited the second Advent in the early forties.
Francis attended schools at Rhinebeck and Schenectady, learned the printer's trade.
The University of Rochester gave him the degree of A. M. in 1875.
He went to New York in 1841 to seek larger opportunities. There, on one of his first jobs, he worked beside Walt Whitman at the composing-case and was later advanced to the proof-reader's desk. Toward the close of 1844 he joined the staff of George Hooker Colton's American Review: A Whig Journal; years afterward he recalled how, after passing the final proofs of "The Raven" for the February 1845 issue, he had, as a matter of routine, dropped Poe's manuscript into the wastebasket. He was employed on the New York Recorder during the editorship of Martin Brewer Anderson, who remembered him gratefully.
In 1853 he became editor of the Huntington Long Islander. His next position of importance was on the New York Tribune, where the astonishingly broad and exact scholarship that he concentrated on proof-reading soon won the admiration of his associates. When George Ripley and Charles Anderson Dana contracted in 1857 to edit the American Cyclopædia for D. Appleton & Company, they engaged Teall to take charge of the proofs. Not only did he read critically every line of both editions of the Cyclopædia, but he also contributed a number of articles and performed other editorial duties.
In 1882 he published an American edition, much annotated, of William B. Hodgson's Errors in the Use of English. Over a period of many years he gathered great stores of material for a treatise on punctuation and for a vast dictionary of proper names, but neither work was ever completed. Among printers and publishers he was held to have raised proof-reading to the rank of a learned profession, and many anecdotes were told to illustrate his omniscience and his passion for accuracy and consistency. On the organization of the staff of the Century Dictionary in 1882, William Dwight Whitney and Benjamin Eli Smith inevitably chose him to supervise the proofs. He also wrote the preliminary definitions of most of the common words as far as the letter M, and remained with the Dictionary until its completion.
After his wife's death in 1887 he made his home with his son in Bloomfield, N. J. , where he died. As the result of a broken hip he was an invalid for the last year of his life.

Teall was married about 1850 to Orcelia Shaw of West Troy, N. Y. , by whom he had a daughter and three sons.
