Synopsis

Excerpt from Monograms and Ciphers

By limiting the number of combinations containing the I and J, and the O and Q, which can easily be made interchangeable in the working, and giving but a single reading of most of the devices containing the letters X, Y, Z, which will be the least used, I have been able to present a good working selection of two letters and a repeated letter in I I 3 plates.

Three digerent letters, as I have stated, can be read in six ways. Take, for instance, the first three letters of the alphabet.

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Monograms, Ciphers, Trade-Marks, and other letter devices. I have given the work much careful thought in order to present the most useful material, to give that material on a good workable scale, and in such a way that any design can be quicklv found. By the arrangement of the designs the plates form their own index. On Plate ii will be found combinations of Aa, Ab, Ac; on Plate in combinations of Ac, Ad; on Plate i, Am, Am, Ag, etc. A device of Mb would be looked for under the letter of the alphabet first in order, B;it will thus be found in the Bm combinations on Plate xvi. Now the letters Aa have only one reading; two different letters, Ab, can be read in two ways; while Aab can be read in three ways; and Abc, or any three different letters, can be placed to read in six ways. A complete series of designs, A A, Ab, Ba, Ac, Ca, to Zz, would run to 676 devices; add to this a series with a repeated letter, which would be the next in order, giving one reading only, Aab, Bba, etc., of which there are 650, and we get1326

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
