d. In German capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from the

names of persons but not those derived from other proper nouns.

_Geschichte des deutsches Reich_ _Die Homerische Frage_.

e. In Danish capitalize all nouns.

f. In Dutch capitalize all nouns and all adjectives derived from proper nouns.

34. Titles of ancient manuscripts.

_Codex Alexandrinus._

35. In titles of books, etc. all nouns forming parts of hyphenated compounds should be capitalized.

36. In side heads capitalize the first word and proper nouns only.

37. Personal titles as follows:

a. Titles preceding a name and so forming part of it.

_King George V._ _Pope Benedict XV._ _Duke William of Aquitaine._

But not otherwise.

_Woodrow Wilson_, _president of the United States_, _the emperor of Germany_, _the present king of Spain is Alfonso XIII_.

b. Titles used in place of the name with reference to a particular person or to the present holder of an office.

_I hope when in Rome to see the Pope._ _He hoped some day to become pope._

c. Familiar names applied to a particular person.

_the Father of his Country._ _Unser Fritz._ _the Little Corporal._

d. Orders of knighthood and titles attached to them.

_Knight of the Garter_, _Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George_.

e. Titles used in direct address.

_Good morning, Mr. President._

f. Academic degrees in abbreviated form following a name.

_David Starr Jordan, Ph. D., LL. D._

So also letters following a name indicating membership of certain scientific and artistic organizations.

_F. R. G. S._ (Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society). _R. A._ (Member of the Royal Academy).

So also in the United States and Great Britain, _M. C._ (Member of Congress) and _M. P._ (Member of Parliament).

Where a person has many titles the following of this rule involves certain difficulties. Such a name as

_John Smith, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., L. H. D., D. C. L., LL. D._ is by no means impossible.

In such a case the titles become much more prominent than the name and the page is disfigured by the spotty appearance of the text. Small capitals may sometimes be used with good effect in such a case but this should not be done without obtaining proper permission.

The difficulty of handling these long and numerous titles in the composition of title pages is sometimes considerable. Three methods of dealing with the difficulty are open.

a. The honorary titles may be put in capitals regardless of the unsightly appearance of the line.

b. The honorary titles may be put in a small size of the same face and justified in the line. This lessens the undue prominence of the titles, but puts the line out of balance.
