Well into the 20th century, commercial "book" codes were used to obscure business communications.
This talk will discuss one of those codes from the 1890's, that uses a dictonary of more than 25.000 English words, including place names. The author claims "absolute secrecy." An example from the instructions will be used to demonstrate the method of decryption.
