ked at the place where it is to come in, and the word or words written in the margin, putting underneath an answering Caret. _Where a space is wanting between two words or letters_ that are intended to be separated, a parallel line must be drawn where the separation ought to be, and the mark No. 4 placed opposite in the margin. Also _where words or letters should join_, but are separated, the circumflex No. 5, must be placed under the separation, and the same mark be made in the margin. _When letters or words are set double_, and are required to be taken out, a line is drawn through the superfluous word or letter, and the mark No. 6, which is the letter _d_, an abbreviation of _dele_ (_expunge or erase_) must be placed in the margin. _A turned letter_, or one placed the wrong way upward, is noticed by making a dash under it, and placing the mark No. 7, in the margin. _Where a black mark_ is seen in any part of the line, which is occasioned by a space standing up, it is noticed by making a dash under it, and placing the mark, No. 8, in the margin. _Where two words are transposed_, the word placed wrong, should be encircled, and the mark 9, (_tr._ an abridgement of transpose,) be placed in the margin; but where several words are to be transposed, that which is intended to come first should have the figure 1 placed over it, that second 2, and so on, the mark (_tr._) being also placed opposite in the margin. _Where a new paragraph is required_, a crotchet should be made at the place where the new paragraph should begin, and a similar mark (No. 10.) be placed in the margin.

If a word, or words, are required to be in Capitals, Small Capitals or Italic, such word or words should be underlined--for Capitals with three lines; for Small Capitals, with two; for Italic, with one; writing opposite in the margin, _Caps._, _Small Caps._, or _Ital._ If they should be required to be altered back, a line should be drawn under the Italic, and the word _Roman_, and under the Capitals or Small Capitals, and t
