      There are conſiſtent rules, but they differ from century to century. This blog poſt has a liſt of rules for Engliſh 17th/18th-century books (you need to ſcroll down a bit). Perhaps one of the moſt important rules is that you only uſe ſhort s at the end of words, with ſome exceptions, of courſe.
