A few more clues (if Harry will allow):
The person who first cracked this cipher was good friends of Jane Austin. In fact, his wedding was recorded in her novel Mansfield Park. This definitely doesn’t have anything to do with ciphers ;), but: Even though the book isn’t a French love story, it still is a great read.
Once you know the type of cipher, the rest is just like before… [Thank you, Harry].
