40. The exclamations "O" and "Oh" (see 117):

"O Lord!" "I know not, Oh, I know not!" '0h, that I were home again!"

41. All the principal words (i.e., nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, first and last words) in English titles of publications (books, pamphlets, documents, periodicals, reports, proceedings, etc.), and their divisions (parts, chapters, sections, poems, articles, etc.); in subjects of lectures, papers, toasts, etc. ;

in cap-and-small-cap and italic center-heads (both of which, however, should be avoided), and bold-face cut-in heads and side-heads; in cap-and-small-cap box-heads in tables (see 279-83):

The Men Who Made the Nation; The American College—Its Past and Present; the Report of the Committee of Nine; "In the Proceedings of the National Education Association for 1907 there appeared a paper entitled, 'The Financial Value of Education.' "

Note.—The Botanical Gazette capitalizes only first words and proper names; and the practice may properly be followed in general bibliographies, such as are to be found under the title "Literature Cited" in the Botanical Gazette (see 60). This style is very generally followed by librarians and others in the compilation of lists of books and publications.

42 In foreign titles, in addition to capitalizing the first word, follow these general rules:

a) In Latin, capitalize proper nouns, and adjectives derived therefrom:

De amicitia, Bellum Gallicum.
