The last edition was published in 1879 two decades after the publication of the code that supplanted it; there are reports that it was still being used as late as 1890. The replacement was the Commercial Code of Signals published by the British Board of Trade in 1857 which eventually became the International Code of Signals ICS. wikipedia; Previously published under title: A Code of Signals for the Use of Vessels Employed in the Merchant Service.

THE TWO ADMIRALS. A TALE OF THE SEA

1842ST16673London: Richard Bentley 1842. FIRST EDITION. 195 x 115 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 5/8". Three volumes. Contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands with gilt tooling spine panels blind-stamped in a scolloped pattern red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges. Front pastedown with the bookplate of the celebrated book-collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer of Eshton Hall in each volume. Provenance: Dibdin "Reminiscences of a Literary Life" 1836 pp. 949–57; De Ricci "English Collectors of Books and Manuscripts" 1930 pp. 141-43. Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues. This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.

THE SON OF A STAR: A Romance of the Second Century

1888004775New York: Longmans Green & Co. 1888. First Printing First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. The Son of a Star" was authored by eminent multi-talented British physician and medical historian Benjamin Ward Richardson who was knighted in 1893 for his research in anaesthesias and for his leadership in public health and sanitation reform. A prolific writer he wrote biographies plays poems and songs as well as medical articles and texts. "The Son of a Star" is based on Bar Kochba the second century Jew who led the last Jewish revolt against the Romans in Palestine in 135 CE. Richardson's novel might be described as a romantic historical fantasy set in Roman-controlled England and including a large wooden submarine and description of a utopian civilization located somewhere to the west of the British Isles. This copy is the First American Printing issued in 1888 a year before the English edition. The dark brown cloth-covered boards are edge-worn especially the bottom edges with some minor chipping and fraying at the spine ends; the corners are worn with the cloth at the lower right corner of the front cover worn through and split about 1/4 inch exposing the board. There is a series of small scratches all less than half an inch in the middle area of the spine. All the lettering on the spine as well as what appears to be the gold reproduction of a Roman coin in the center of front cover are clean and undamaged. The black border design on the top and bottom of the spine and front cover shows only minimal wear. The text edges are somewhat soiled but without stains. Page 129-130 has an L-shaped chip out of the margin in the lower inside corner; it does not reach the text. The rear pastedown has split exposing the hinge which appears undamaged. That said this 470-page book is basically clean and unmarked tight and square. No dustjacket. Quite Scarce in any condition. Longmans, Green & Co. hardcover
