From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  INTERCHANGEABLY. Formerly when deeds of land were made, where there Were 
  covenants to be performed on both sides, it was usual to make two deeds 
  exactly similar to each other, and to exchange them; in the attesting 
  clause, the words, In witness whereof the parties have hereunto 
  interchangeably set their hands," &c., were constantly inserted, and the 
  practice has continued, although the deed is, in most cases, signed by the 
  grantor only. 7 Penn. St. Rep. 320.
