Excerpt from History, Theory, and Practice of the Electric TelegraphThere is no subject upon which the American public should be better informed, and none, perhaps, in which it should feel greater pride, than in that of the foremost invention of the age, the Electric Telegraph; f6r aside from the fact that three of the best systems in use are American inventions, and that to our countrymen is due the credit of producing the first successful recording electric telegraph, it is more generally used in this country than in any other, and probably more than in all others combined, for the common convenience of mankind.In Europe, with the exception of Great Britain, the use of the telegraph is almost wholly under the control of the governments, and its use restricted by the high rates of tolls to the wealthier classes, while in this country it is alike open to all, and telegraphic despatches are "household words" among the poorer as well as the wealthier citizens.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good historical reference of very early telegraph. By StevieW This is a "must have" book if you have any interest in early land-line telegraph. George B. Prescott wrote this book in the early 1860's, so there aren't any photographs - there are several beautiful hand drawings included (as one would expect from a book from this period.) This book, plus American Telegraphy & Encyclopedia of the Telegraph (W.M.Maver) for me are the definitive references for this facet of American telegraph history, prior to the Spark Gap Era...
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A well written history of the electric telegraph.... By Mark This is an extensively researched, well written, and comprehensive story of the electric telegraph. Given that there are a handful of people in the world who would enjoy a seemingly boring subject as this, I applaud Mr. Prescott's dedication to this work. My career as a telecommunications technician now makes more sense thanks to this work. In fact, this work illustrates the foundation upon which all of our modern communications is built upon. My only minor wish (and the reason for withholding the fifth star) is that there were more diagrams, tables, and illustrations to serve as examples to more laypeople. For those few of us who care about such matters, I salute you Mr. Prescott. Well done, sir.
