            represents, an idea; a type; hence, sometimes, a picture.
  
                     The holy symbols, or signs, are not barely
                     significative; but what they represent is as
                     certainly delivered to us as the symbols
                     themselves.                                       --Brerewood.

            Indians, or those used by the deaf and dumb.
  
      Note: Educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural
               signs, which serve for communicating ideas, and
               methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the
               dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word
               by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished
               from the manual alphabet, by which words are spelled on
               the fingers.
      (h) A military emblem carried on a banner or a standard.
            --Milton.
      (i) A lettered board, or other conspicuous notice, placed

      (j) (Astron.) The twelfth part of the ecliptic or zodiac.
  
      Note: The signs are reckoned from the point of intersection
               of the ecliptic and equator at the vernal equinox, and
               are named, respectively, {Aries} ([Aries]), {Taurus}
               ([Taurus]), {Gemini} (II), {Cancer} ([Cancer]), {Leo}
               ([Leo]), {Virgo} ([Virgo]), {Libra} ([Libra]),
               {Scorpio} ([Scorpio]), {Sagittarius} ([Sagittarius]),
               {Capricornus   ([Capricorn]), {Aquarius} ([Aquarius]),
               {Pisces} ([Pisces]). These names were originally the
               names of the constellations occupying severally the
               divisions of the zodiac, by which they are still
               retained; but, in consequence of the procession of the
               equinoxes, the signs have, in process of time, become
               separated about 30 degrees from these constellations,
               and each of the latter now lies in the sign next in
               advance, or to the east of the one which bears its
               name, as the constellation Aries in the sign Taurus,
               etc.
      (k) (Alg.) A character indicating the relation of quantities,
            or an operation performed upon them; as, the sign +

            and the like.
      (l) (Med.) An objective evidence of disease; that is, one
            appreciable by some one other than the patient.
  
      Note: The terms symptom and and sign are often used
               synonymously; but they may be discriminated. A sign
               differs from a symptom in that the latter is perceived
               only by the patient himself. The term sign is often
               further restricted to the purely local evidences of
               disease afforded by direct examination of the organs
               involved, as distinguished from those evidence of
               general disturbance afforded by observation of the
               temperature, pulse, etc. In this sense it is often
               called physical sign.
      (m) (Mus.) Any character, as a flat, sharp, dot, etc.
      (n) (Theol.) That which, being external, stands for, or
            signifies, something internal or spiritual; -- a term
            used in the Church of England in speaking of an ordinance
            considered with reference to that which it represents.
  
                     An outward and visible sign of an inward and
                     spiritual grace.                              --Bk. of
                                                                              Common Prayer.
  
      Note: See the Table of {Arbitrary Signs}, p. 1924.
  
      {Sign manual}.
      (a) (Eng. Law) The royal signature superscribed at the top of
            bills of grants and letter patent, which are then sealed
            with the privy signet or great seal, as the case may be,
            to complete their validity.
      (b) The signature of one's name in one's own handwriting.
            --Craig. Tomlins. Wharton.
