These volumes comprise description of and full
directions for the use of the system of marine sig
mails for sea vessels of all kinds, invented by our
fellow-citizen, Henry j. Rogers, Esq After TWEEN
ty years labor Mr.. Rogers has brought his system
to a degree of perfection which has secured the
unqualified appreciation of representatives of the
British navy and merchant service. The commit

ming some thirteen different codes of signals, in
Guiding that of Marryatt, which has long been the
favorite one, finally reported in favor of that of
our countryman, and it has been adopt
ed in all her Majestys ships, as well as in
those of the East India Company. 1t has
also been introduced into the vessels taken up
by the British Commissioners of Emigration,
which are also required to be furnished with the
mercantile navy list. bill providing for the
adoption of Mr.. Rogers system the national
signals of the United States was reported, and, we
believe, unanimously passed in the Senate, but
failed in the House of Representatives in
quence of the opposition of shipowners, who OBJ
jected to a compulsory clause which was modified
to meet their views; but the bill, in its new shape,
was not acted on. The system, however, has met
with the approval of the Boards of Trade of most
of our principal commercial cities, land we are graft
fed to add that its superiority is being gradually
recognized by the intelligent ship-owners of all
commercial nations. 1t has recently been adopted
by the United States Navy. The principal merit
of the new Code is its simplicity and cheapness no
less striking than its superior efficiency compared
with other systems, and we have no doubt that it
will ultimately be considered indispensable in all
sea-going vessels. We congratulate tnwnsman
on the great success which has attended his labo-
rious and intelligent efforts in this extremely use
full field of discovery, and trust that he will reap
reward commensurate with the ability and energy
he has displayed in the preparation and introduc-
ton of his Code.
