Rules for compositors and readers at the University Press, Oxford

"Rules for compositors and readers at the University Press, Oxford" by Horace Hart is a style guide first issued in 1893. Originally a small blue booklet for Oxford University Press staff, it established standards for punctuation, typography, and citation. The work grew from twenty-four pages to nearly two hundred, becoming one of the most influential English-language style guides. Its authority stemmed from Oxford's prestige and endorsement by Oxford English Dictionary editors, shaping editorial practices worldwide and inspiring similar manuals.
