Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.6in.Excerpt from Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph: A Technical Handbook for Electricians, Managers, and Operators With 185 IllustrationsMorse (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 PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph: A Technical Handbook for Electricians, Managers, and Operators With 185 Illustrations In the treatment of the subject, the use of mathematics has been rendered unnecessary by the free introduction of concrete examples, illustrative of methods and processes of arithmetical computation available in electrical investigations. From the many methods of electrical measurement, as applied to the solution of practical prob lems, a selection has been made, embracing only those which have proved to be most directly applicable to every-day work.
