UNDER RULE VII.--TWO CAPITALS.
"The Forth rises on the north side of Benlomond, and runs
easterly."--_Glas. Geog_.
[FORMULE.--Not proper, because the name "_Benlomond_" is compounded under
one capital, contrary to the general analogy of other similar terms. But,
according to Rule 7th, "The compounding of a name under one capital should
be avoided when the general analogy of other similar terms suggests a
separation under two." Therefore, "Ben Lomond" should be written with two
capitals and no hyphen.]
