Oh this is delightful. Can you share the reference if you have it still?



It is mostly the MLA handbook, https://style.mla.org/punctuation-and-quotation-marks/ and https://style.mla.org/the-placement-of-a-comma-or-period-aft....

I guess I misremembered. The old reference from the 1800's is https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hx521x&view=1up&s..., he clearly puts the quotes on the outside too.
