Item description from seller

"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover in protected dust wrapper 240pp b&w plates. Light wear on dw/board edges; a very good copy. The visual telegraphs, which used giant semaphore indicators on a series of highly conspicuous sites, were developed in France during the French revolution. The signalling technology was soon copied by the British, who set up telegraph routes extending from London to the great sea ports for transmitting messages to and from the British fleet, then engaged in a war against Napoleon. This follows the history of the telegraph on both sides of the English Channel and examines it in the context of the war that dominated the period.
