Marks

Certain symbols used by printers, such as the hyphen, apostrophe, brace, crotchet or bracket, the ellipsis, &c. There are marks of quotations, accentual marks, the index, leaders, and dots, &c, which will be found duly described separately. In the composing room and the closet the word is used to denote certain alterations made in proofs by the reader, or others, such as “readers’ marks,” “authors’ marks.”—See Proof-reading.
