Completeness, accuracy, and consistency of your references are more important than strict adherence to a particular citation system. Using the information provided in your list of references, the interested reader should be able to locate each document that you cite in your paper.

I procured a triangular glass prism, to try therewith the celebrated phenomena of colors. And for that purpose, having darkened my laboratory, and made a small hole in my window shade, to let in a convenient quantity of the sun's light, I placed my prism at the entrance, that the light might be thereby refracted to the opposite wall. It was at first a very pleasing diversion to view the vivid and intense colors produced thereby. For the purpose of investigating the celebrated phenomena of chromatic refrangibility, a triangular glass prism was procured. It was found initially that due to the vivid and intense colors which were produced by this experimental apparatus, the overall effect was aesthetically satisfactory when viewed by the eye.
