Cryptography: Or the History, Principles and Practice of Cipher- Writing

by Hulme F. Edward (Frederick E 1841-1909 (Creator)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The oldest book in my cryptobook collection (at time of typing, my 1st edition copy is 165 years old!). Contains simple ciphers with illustrations, all presented in Victorian diction.
