Talk:Men of Invention and Industry

Notes about italicising this text.
In the book the names of newspapers eg The Times and ships eg Sirius are correctly printed in italics. The titles of some books are not but are within single quotes; other books have proper italics. How much we follow copy and replicate what was originally printed, and how much we follow Gutenberg is open to debate. Apwoolrich 21:02, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
