Book excerpt: This volume is the first of a series comprising new editions of early books on the subject of the Electric Telegraph. Anyone researching the technology, development and operation of telegraphy, or persons simply wanting an absorbing read, will find these works of the greatest historical interest. This particular book, An Illustrated Handbook to the Electric Telegraph, by Robert Dodwell, was originally published at London in 1862. Dodwell, a telegraph engineer and electrician, who was at one time District Engineer to the Magnetic Telegraph Company in Manchester, here presents a non-technical but very readable account of the Electric Telegraph, from the earliest days up to the mid-nineteenth century. By this time most of the essential features of telegraphy had been invented and patented, experimentally tested and then either discarded or put into operation somewhere or other in Europe or the United States of America. Dodwell deals mainly, but not exclusively, with telegraphy in Britain. The three broad topics covered are, first, the Galvanic Battery, the means to generate the 'electric fluid' (as electricity was then called), the newly discovered and wonderful agency that made long-distance communications possible. Secondly, the various Sending and Receiving Instruments used for communicating by telegraphic signals are discussed. Thirdly, the Line Wire, the medium by which signals are carried across country and around the world, either overground, subterranean, or submarine, are examined. Dodwell also relates many amusing anecdotes about the misapprehensions, misconceptions and misunderstandings of the telegraph by his Victorian contemporaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph: A Handbook for Electricians and Operators During the quarter of a century which has elapsed since the introduction of the Electric Telegraph in the United States, those engaged in its service have been almost entirely dependent upon verbal instruction, and long practical experience, for a thorough technical knowledge of their profession. The works accessible to the American telegrapher have been of a popular, rather than of a strictly scientific character, or else of so elementary a nature as to be of little service except to the most inexperienced students. It is true that a number of excellent foreign works have appeared within a few years; yet the difficulty and expense of obtaining them, as well as their want of applicability to the American telegraphic system, has prevented their general circulation among the class for which this work is more especially designed. The unexpectedly favorable reception which has been accorded to the first three editions of this work, has led the author to believe that it has, to some extent, supplied the acknowledged deficiency which had previously existed in this branch of literature. The present edition has been carefully revised, as well as enlarged by the addition of much new matter, and is believed to embrace all the recent discoveries and improvements in practical telegraphy, which have successfully passed through the test of actual experience. The methods of testing telegraph lines and apparatus by actual measurement, which are now universally employed in Europe, and to some extent in this country, have been treated upon to an extent commensurate with the importance of the subject. It is hoped that, with the aid of this work, the student may obtain a complete and satisfactory knowledge of this useful and beautiful system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph: A Technical Handbook for Electricians, Managers, and Operators With 185 Illustrations Morse (Samuel Finley Breese), inventor of the recording electro-magnetic telegraph, born in Charlestown, Mass., April 27, 1791; graduated at Yale, 1810; studied art in the Royal Academy of London, 1811-15, under Benjamin West. In 1829 he again visited Europe for further study of his profession, and while returning home in 1832, on board the ship Sully, conceived and made drawings of his recording telegraph (see J. D. Reid : The Telegraph in America, chapters vi., vii.). From this time until his death he was unremittingly employed with his invention, passing meantime through many vicissitudes of fortune, and some most painful experiences. He was first professor of fine arts in the University of the City of New York, in one of the rooms of which institution he set up in 1835 his first crude recording telegraphic apparatus, now preserved in the cabinet of the Western Union Company in New York. In 1837, Alfred Vail, a skillful mechanic and inventor, became his partner in the enterprise. Vail entirely reconstructed the apparatus, and embodied it in the practical form in which it was first introduced to the commercial world. After a series of discouragements that would have utterly disheartened most men, Morse, assisted by Vail, established in 1844, under an appropriation from Congress, the first line between Washington and Baltimore. On May 24 of that year, Morse put to the test the great experiment on which his mind had been laboring for many anxious and weary years. His triumph was complete. Honors and riches were showered upon him at home and abroad. Professor Morse was a man of great simplicity of character, firm in his friendships, and most persistent and exhaustive in all his undertakings. He wielded the pen of a ready writer, and his genius, learning, and taste were illustrated by numerous contributions to the press, evincing not only graceful rhetoric but elaborate and well-sustained argument. On June 10, 1871, a bronze statue of Morse, erected by the contributions of the thousands of telegraphic employees in America, was unveiled with imposing ceremonies in Central Park, New York. He died in New York, April 2, 1872. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
