Slight fading on edge of papers. This a lovely book about naval signals. A signal is a sign which conveys information. This book is concerned mainly with the pre-microphone period: with signals that travel alone and, like telegrams, have to be carefully worded to be readily understood. Unlike telegrams, however they are impersonal and public. They carry the authority of a ship or a squadron. They are paid with reputations, sometimes even with human lives. The era of such signals produced craftsmen who could compose on a pad the exact phrase to suit the situation. Their signals had power and penetration; they inspired, provoked, amused or debunked with an aptitude all of their own. A signal at sea which commended was round the ship like a flash of light. One which reproved spread gloom just as quickly. A brilliant book that is full of fascinating information and experiences of that period in time.
