Despite its popularity, none of the editions of the Code are common. shelved case 9. The first general system of signalling for merchant vessels was Captain Frederick Marryat's A Code of Signals for the Merchant Service published in 1817. Marryat's code was an immediate success and was translated into several other languages, and the 1854 edition was renamed The Universal Code of Signals for the Mercantile Marine of All Nations because of its widespread usage. 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 copyright of this Code of Signals, by which the Mercantile Marine of the whole world has so greatly benefited, became from a very early period the property of the late Mr. J. M. Richardson. The Edition of 1841 was the last edited by the original inventor, the late Captain Marryat, but since then four large Editions has been issued, each greatly extended and improved."

Hardcover. Condition: Good. London: RICHARDSON & COMPy., 1861. xi,[i],[388]pp. Illustrated with seven coloured lithographic plates, bound in non-numerical order as issued. §"Written and published [in 1817] when Marryat was in his early twenties, the Code brought him life-long recognition and membership in the Royal Society. It continued in use well after his death, even after it was officially superceded [sic] in 1857. Its immediate forerunner was the flag code of Admiral Home Popham, the code that Nelson found not adequate to express 'England confides that every man will do his duty.' Several codes appeared nearly simultaneously with Marryat's, but these did not obtain the support of Lloyd's as Marryat's did - possibly because [his] father was chairman of the Board of Directors", (Buster, 'Captain Marryat: Sea-Officer, Novelist, Country Squire: A Bio-bibliographical Essay', 1980). "The copyright of this Code of Signals. . . became, from a very early period, the property of the late Mr. J. M. RICHARDSON. The Edition of 1841 was the last edited by the original inventor, the late Captain MARRYAT, but since then five large Editions have been issued, each greatly extended and improved", (from Preface). All editions survive in no more than a handful of copies, presumably having been read to pieces on board ship. This 1861 edition held at BL, Bodleian, Trinity College Dublin, but apparently not in the UCLA Marryat collection. Original textured blue cloth, gilt lettering, gilt & blind decoration. Spine dulled, part of upper board sunned to a lighter shade; slight fraying to spine ends. Original ribbon place-holder still attached inside rear cover, a fragile survival; corresponding marker to front lost. Edge of plate I creased. The odd minor mark or scuff. In all other respects, a very good copy.…

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. London, Richardson brothers, 1854. "The universal code of signals for the mercantile marine of all nations by the late captain Marryat, R.N. with a selection of sentences adapted for convoys, and a system of geometrical signals ; by G.B. RICHARDSON". Un volume 16 x 24 cm, non paginé. Illustré d'une planche dépliante en couleur doublée et d'une planche double, l'ensemble doublée sur toile tissée ( plate n°1 : flags and pendants ; plate n°2 : parts of the code ; plate n°3 : telegraphic communication ; plate n°4 : Flags for the british navy ; plate n°5 : maritime merchant flags of all nations ; plate 6 : geometrical signals). Reliure demi cuir brun foncé à coins, plats toilés vert bouteille avec titrage, auteur et années en lettrage doré. Le premier code des signaux pour le service marchand fut publié par le capitaine Frédérick MARRYAT en 1817 (réédité jusqu'en 1841). Il connut un vrai succès et fut traduit en plusieurs langues. Les droits d'auteur de ce code dont la marine marchande du monde entier a tant profité, sont devenus propriété de JM RICHARDSON. L'édition de 1854 fut renommée code UNIVERSEL des signaux en raison d'un usage très répandu. Compte tenu de sa popularité il sera réédité une dernière fois en 1879 alors même que le code commercial des signaux (qui deviendra le code international des signaux) était publié en 1857 par la British Board. Extrait de la préface par l'éditeur : "the edition of 1841 was the last edited by the original inventor, the late Captain Marryat, but since then, four large editions have been issued, each greatly extended and improved. In the preparation of these I endeavoured to enlarge the original code so as to adapt it to the new emergencies which the extended commerce of the day might demand, and thus to promote a widely extended circulation amongst the mercantile marine other nations." Reliure frottée par l'usage, intérieur frais, bon état d'ensemble. Ouvrage de référence, édition rare.…

Renowned as a story-teller of the sea, Marryat was elected to the Royal Society in 1819 mainly on the strength of this adaptation of Sir Home Popham's system of signaling, first published 1817. "This earned him a large and regular income." (ODNB) He later received the Légion d'Honneur from the king of France "for services rendered to science and navigation". "The copyright of this Code of Signals, by which the Mercantile Marine of the whole world has so greatly benefited, became, from a very early period, the property of the late Mr. J. M. Richardson. The Edition of 1841 was the last edited by the original inventor. but since then five large Editions has been issued, each greatly extended and improved." (Preface.) Front endpapers with request that "Owners and Captains of Vessels desirous" of having their official number or names included to apply to the publishers, and advertising the publication of French, Spanish and Italian translations and imminent issue of German and Norwegian editions, and the availability of the "Flags used in this Code of Signals". Bound in at the rear is a leaf with the "Royal Humane Society's Directions for the Recovery of the Apparently Drowned." Marryat had been awarded "the Society's honorary medallion in 1821 for his design for a lifeboat and for his gallantry in saving life at sea."
