Division of Words

PREFACE
20/45

In many cases this can be done by the careful use of spaces so as to bring a certain number of words squarely out to the end of the line.

There have been printers who have insisted that this should always be done.

Their efforts have not, however, been successful.

They result in a freakish looking page with white spots in the lines where letters or words have been spaced out to fill the register.

It would be better, on the whole, to resort to the practice of the old masters and leave the right-hand margin irregular.
Ordinarily the difficulty has been met by dividing words and putting a part of a word on one line and the rest of it on another, indicating the break by a hyphen.
