Excerpt from The ABC Universal Commercial Electric Telegraphic Code: Specially Adapted for the Use of Financiers, Merchants, Shipowners, Brokers, Agents, &C.; Multum in Parvo; Simplicity and Economy Palpable, Secrecy Absolute
The aim of the Author has been to render the work as comprehensive, correct, and complete as possible; but he cannot accept any responsibility whatever for any consequences arising from error, want of instruction, explanation, or other cause of any kind in connection therewith. Every possible care and attention have been taken in the compilation and on its merits only does he present the book for the use of the public.
It has been brought to the Author's knowledge that some persons have purchased a single copy of the A B C Telegraphic Code for service in compiling Codes of their Own; the Author would intimate that such an Operation is a breach of the Copyright Act, and liable to become a matter of legal and unpleasant procedure. Should, however, any person desire to appropriate any part of this Code for their own individual or private use, and not for publishing, the Author is not adverse to a proposal for permission to allow the same.
On page x examples are given of a complete and unlimited system of Coding. Although it may, probably, not be in strict accordance with some of the Rules of the Telegraphic Conference, it may be useful under certain other circumstances, and also where cypher messages are accepted, or a letter rate charged.
