The Inverted Comma.

"Mr. Bernard Shaw will have the sym.
pathy of writers-and we should think OF
compositors-in his protest against the
use of the apostrophe," says the London
Chronicle. "He has himself dropped 1t
out of amt don't and 'shouldnt'-but
not out of 'he'il--before he wrote his
protest in "The Author" But why. all
these inverted commas, the silly trick OF
peppering pages with these uncouth ba-
cilli'? You will find none of these bacilll
in the Bible. Take this passage, chosen
at random: Now Jesus knew that they
were DESTROYS to ask Him, and said unto
them. Do We inquire among yourselves
of that said, A little while, and ye shall!
not see me; and again little while and
We shall see me? The modern composltor
would set that passage between two
brackets of inverted commas, for 1t is a
quote within a quote. But it is beautii,,
fully clear as it stands. And among all
Biblical misunderstanding no one we
think has been nlisled by the absence Of
an inverted comma"

The discussion of the proposition take the tariff
