REAR-ADMIRAL THE HON. R. S. DUNDAS, C.B. ADMIRAL, Your letter, dated Portsmouth, 14th March, 1855, accepting the humble dedication of my Code of Signals, destined to serve as the link of communication in the international relations between the English and French navy, and in the end with all the navies in the world, it is to attain this end that the English Admiralty has given its sanction by using it on board its vessels; accept my sincere thanks for this favour. The adoption of this work by the English and French navies, as the basis of a universal language for the sailors of every nation, will prove clearly to all other maritime powers the advantages which must result from its general use. If this work is able to contribute to save a single ship, or a single sailor, my object will be accomplished. The patronage which you deign to accord to my work is an assurance of success, and will be a souvenir of the Anglo-French Alliance. I have the honour to be, ADMIRAL, Your most obedient and humble Servant, C. DE REYNOLD-CHAUVANCY. LONDON, 21ST JULY, 1855. · |
