SIGNATURE OF THE Cross. - The
marks which persons who are unable
to write are required to make instead
of their signatures, is in the form of a
cross (+;) and this practice having
formerly been followed by kings and
mobiles, is constantly referred to as an
instance Of the deplorable ignorance Of
ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably proof Of such ig-
norance; anciently, the use of this
mark was not confined to illiteratepef-
sons for amongst the Saxons, the
mark Of the cross as an attestation Of
the good faith Of persons signing, was
required to be attached to the signature
of those who could write, as we'll as to
stand in the place of the signature Of
those who could not write; in those
times if man could write or even read,
his knowledge was considered proof
presumptive that he was in holy or
ders. The word clericus or cleric,
was anonymous with penman and the
laity or the people who were not clerks,
did not feel the urgent necessity for
the use Of the cross was, therefore, uni
yersal, alike by those who could not
write it was, indeed, the symbol of an
oath, from its holy associations, and
generally the mark. On this account
the editor Of the Pictorial Shakespeare
explains the expression Of 6" God save
the mark" as form of ejaculation
approaching to the character Of an
oath. ~
