Correctly formatted text
Although in every case I have told the tale in my own words, I am indebted for the originals to Campbell's "Popular Tales of the Western Highlands," Leyden's Poems, Hogg's Poems, Scott's "Border Minstrelsy," Chambers' "Popular Rhymes of Scotland," "The Folklore Journal," etc. /* <sc>Elizabeth W. Grierson.</sc> <i>Whitchesters, Hawick, N.B., 12th April, 1910.</i> */
Italics in signatures
The signature is a "complete sentence," so period goes inside.
Location/date is one sentence (there's a comma), so a single italics markup pair is sufficient, and the period goes inside.
Upright (non-italic) numerals
We include the numerals in the italics. (Printers generally didn't have italics numerals.)
Right justified signatures
Signature is right-justified, so enclose it in no-wrap.
Line breaks in signature blocks
Location/date should remain on 2 lines, so enclose them in no-wrap to preserve that intention. In this situation, it's OK to put everything in one pair of no-wraps.
