<p>[QUOTE="SEAN DINEEN, post: 1773614, member: 14104"]Hello, I bought <i><b>The Crater, or Vulcan's Peak: a Tale of the Pacific</b></i> by James Fenimore Cooper 1st American Edition, 1847 for a few Euro . What is interesting, as I turned through the pages I discovered a small piece of paper with three words. In small handwriting over a cryptic looking message was "In Favor" and "In Opposition". When I turned the paper over and read through the light, the word "Inempereur" or "Empereuer" appeared, not too sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any history or knowledge about old cryptography? Also the signature is in pencil and reads J. Fenimore Cooper. [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] [USER=125]@wiscbirddog[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
