WorldCat identifies 2 locations and COPAC cites four locations for this 1899 edition. Colour plates are clean and bright. "the English did employ signal books as early as 1714. John Greenwood’s signal book was the first of the sort published in England and was not updated until some thirty years later by John Millan in 1746. However, both manuals were merely commercial ventures rather than tactical works. . By 1806, William, then the Duke of Clarence, had invested in his own naval signal book. William was on the cutting edge of maritime communication as such manuals were long absent from British naval tactics." Throughout the 18th and 19th century various texts relating to nautical signals and signaling appeared, with the Royal Navy eventually settling on this commmonly accepted manual.
