The sentence proposed to be deciphered, and the explanation 

 of which may be one of the tests that the present mode of secret 

 writing has been detected, stands thus in the cipher.

The capital letter prefixed to all these ciphers indicates the 

 locus in which the key is used; and unless it is purposely changed 

 in the course of the sentence, it remains the same throughout. 

 This letter maybe called the indicator. Now such is the pliability 

 and extent of this cipher, that, by changing the indicator, one 

 single symbol may express every letter in the alphabet ; or, in 

 other words, the indicator may be used in lieu of the symbol, 

 and the symbol may stand in place of the indicator ; and thus 

 the mode of using the cipher is completely reversed, as in the 

 following example, in which the above short sentence is written 

 according to the reversed method.
