I am in the process of reading some English history that was written in the 
early 1800s.
The edition that I have was printed in 1911.
I am the first to read these volumes as evidenced by the French fold 
binding, i.e. some of the pages are not slit open yet.

Anyway the colon and semicolon are set off with spaces and look like this:

Blaa blaa blaa ;  blaa blaa blaa : and thus and such.

I found it interesting.
