Excerpt from A Manual of Signals: For the Use of Signal Officers in the Field, and for Military and Naval Students, Military Schools, Etc This work was, for its first edition, in great part hastily prepared, printed upon an office press, and issued to the officers of the Signal Corps of the Army then serving constantly in the field in the midst of the war of the Rebellion. It was intended, at the time, for their instruction only, and was rendered incomplete by official embarrassments and the pressure of other duties. The author is induced to its enlargement and republication now by varied reasons. The actions of the late war, in which victory or defeat has sometimes hung upon the transmission of a signalled message, have rendered it certain that military signals will be used in the future military and naval operations of our arms. They will be employed in the continued Indian warfares in the Interior; and it is probable some knowledge of telegraphic duty will be required of the officers of both the land and naval services. The perfection to which these duties can be brought, by careful study, experiment, and practice, can be contemplated yet in imagination only.
