X. FOOTNOTES.
Authorities cited in footnotes should be specified in the following order:
1. The best known name of the author. Give initials only when necessary
to distinguish between several authors of the same name. Set in roman
lower-case unless otherwise ordered.
2. The name of the book in roman lower-case. If there is a
Bibliography, or list of authorities attached to the book the names of
all works referred to should there appear in full, but should be
abbreviated in the notes. Otherwise, the name is sometimes written in
full the first time it is referred to in a footnote and afterward
abbreviated. If the book has but few references to authorities the
names may be given in full in the footnotes especially when the
reference is to the book as a whole and not to a particular paragraph.
In such a case as this last the name is often printed in italics.
Always abbreviate uniformly in the same book.
3. The number of the volume in roman numerals of capi
