Endnote question...
Hi,
I'm submitting an article for publication that uses the Chicago Manual of Style and I have a question about a specific endnote:
"The violence of the Emmet’s insurrection included the murder of Lord Kilwarden—a former attorney general who had assisted Wolfe Tone avoid prosecution in 1794—along with 29 others. Such murders contributed to a “universal” “feeling of horror against the bloody-minded wretches” (William Cobbett, Political Register, no. 4, 23–30 July 1803, col. 159, quoted in Timothy Webb, “Coleridge and Robert Emmet: Reading the Text of Irish Revolution,” Irish Studies Review, Vol. 8, No. 3 [2002], p. 305).
Now, my question is how to cite the quotation. Do I use the parenthesis or not? In other words, should it look like this instead:
The violence of the Emmet’s insurrection...a “universal” “feeling of horror against the bloody-minded wretches” William Cobbett, Political Register, no. 4, 23–30 July 1803, col. 159, quoted in Timothy Webb, “Coleridge and Robert Emmet: Reading the Text of Irish Revolution,” Irish Studies Review, Vol. 8, No. 3 (2002), p. 305.
Thank you!

Daedalus, do you have a copy of the CMS? If you don't, your local library probably does. Mine is at work so I can't look it up right now, but the answer to your question will certainly be in there.

You might be able to find how the CMS tells you to do this through a Google search as well. But if you're using end notes, don't they go AT THE END of the entire piece, not immediately after what you a

I'm too lazy to get up and go to the library at this juncture (World Cup is on). The passage I quoted is from the endnote, i.e.
