History, Theory, and Practice of the Electric Telegraph (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from History, Theory, and Practice of the Electric Telegraph
There 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; for 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 elec tric 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 coun try it is alike Open to all, and telegraphic despatches are household words among the poorer as well as the wealthier citizens.
