It is not usual, and is looked on as bad workmanship, to divide a word with a single letter at the end of a line, for it may be driven out, or, if the line be wide spaced, the next syllable may be got in but should the second syllable of the word be a long one, or the last syllable a very short one it will then be advisable to overrun a preceding line or two, to get rid of the objectionable division. It frequently happens that the last syllable, when it is short, has a meagre appearance at the beginning of a line when this is the case, it is preferable to drive out another syllable, provided the appearance and the correctness of the first part of the word are not compromised. An improper division of a word will sometimes look better than a proper one, but it ought always to be avoided, if possible. When it is necessary to divide a word at the end of a line, it is also necessary to study the appearance of the termination of that line, as well as of the commencement of the succeeding line, for they are equally affected. ![]() When the primitive word cannot be retained at the end of a line, I would prefer the prefixes ab, ac, ad, al, anti, be, bi, co, com, con, de, di, dia, dis, en, in, per, pre, pro, re, sub, super, un, when words in which they occur require to be divided provided it does not cause any great violence in the spacing. The terminations of words, chion, cial, cient, cion, cious, shion, sian, sion, tial, tion, and tious, ought never, in my opinion, to be divided, as they each form one sound, although Murray and Walker say they form two syllables. ![]()
