by: B. Franklin Lieber

Hardcover. NY, Lieber Publishing Co., reprint, 1896, Book: Good, Hardcover, pebbled brown cloth, 800 pages plus ads. Gilt lettering on spine. A collection of codeworks for use in telegrams, compiled by Benjamin Franklin Lieber. 'Lieber's Standard Telegraphic Code' is a simplified and condensed list of codewords used for telegrams.

Some of the codewords included in this work are 'Adeschiamo', meaning 'is it a good time to buy', 'Assipondio', meaning 'according to our view of the matter', 'Atrafago', meaning 'one month', 'Brassement', meaning 'endeavor to settle it in a friendly manner', and more. Both hinges cracked otherwise sound and clean.
