Bibliography of Cryptography (1938 book)

Foreword
IT BECAME apparent in the very beginning of the compilation of this bibliography that the first edition could not be complete nor without error. The endless task of consulting libraries throughout the country, the correspondence with foreign collectors and dealers during the last five years has resulted in this little book. It is my earnest hope that those who find errors or those who may have additions either to information which I have or about books not in the bibliography that they will communicate with me; that the second edition will be much more complete.

The conflict of available information on Cryptographic Works is amazing, and many learned authorities give different dates and titles for the same book. Some books which must have been sensational in their day, are conspicuous by the total absence of information about them. If you find the name of a book without any other information, you may be sure that my present resources have been exhausted without result. It was also necessary to decide whether or not to include Commercial Code Books, Books on the Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy, Works of Fiction using a cipher in the plot, and books remotely connected with the subject of Cryptography. I included all that came to my attention in addition to the wellknown common and very scarce text books. I have also used the long titles, when the information was available.

I included Commercial Code Books, first of all, because I collect them along with works on Cryptography; second, because many of the books on Cryptography are out of print, very hard to secure, and are expensive. It is my suggestion to those who would collect books on Cryptography that they collect Commercial Code Books also. They can be picked up in many second-hand book stores and are quite inexpensive. To add books to your collection gives zest to the enterprise which will not be forthcoming during the long waits for scarce and out of print Cryptographic text books. The same reasons apply equally well to the books on Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy. While I hold no brief with either side, I urgently urge the student of Cryptography to read these books. It may open a new avenue of research for I am sure that much has been written that never has been read.

The works of fiction using a cipher as a plot are interesting, to say the least, and in many cases the investigator, as he unravels the cipher, is down right funny. Certainly many of these fictional investigators were not trained Cryptographers, but to read is to know, and many a potent idea awaits those who will venture into the light side of Cryptography.

While I have compiled this bibliography mainly in the interest of the student of Secret Writing, collectors will find it useful, through not complete. It is my idea that once the first edition of this little book is put into interested hands, that it will grow by leaps and bounds, and in time will be the standard reference bibliography on the subject of Cryptography.
