I am writing a paper on W. E. B. Dubois and I have to use Harbrace footnote style. What does that mean and where can I find examples of the...

The Writer's Harbrace Handbook states that footnotes need
to adhere to either the CMS (The Chicago Manual of Style) when using footnotes in a
paper.


According to CMS, footnotes in this style
must:


1. Need to appear at the bottom of the page and be
single-spaced.


2.Each footnote needs to include name of
author, title of work, source of publication, and date of publication. If only specific
pages are used from a text, one must include specific page
numbers.


3. Use “Ibid.” You will use this notation when
referring to a text previously notated (only if the next footnote is from the same
text). If a previously notated footnote, use the last name of the author and page number
only.


4. If using secondary sources, one must first name
the secondary source and then the
primary.


Examples:


1. Seymour
Miles, The Long and Winding Road (New York: Traveling Books, 1969),
231.


2. Ibid., 231.


3. Norris,
132-135.


4. Theodore Sedgwick, Thoughts on the
Proposed Annexation of Texas to the United States
(New York: D. Fanshaw,
1844), 31, quoted in Lyon Rathbun, "The Debate over Annexing Texas and the Emergence of
Manifest Destiny," Rhetoric & Public Affairs 4, no. 3 (Fall
2001): 479.
