DESCRIPTION:
Excerpt from A History of Electric Telegraphy, to the Year 1837India, where, having a good deal of spare time on our hands, we indulged our habits to the full. In 1871, having amassed a large number of notes, scraps, &c., on submarine telegraphy, we began a work on the history and working of the Persian Gulf cables, of which we had then had over three years' practical experience.Gradually this developed itself into an ambitious treatise, which we styled Submarine Telegraphs, their Construction, Submersion, and Maintenance, including their Testing and Practical Working. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.. Of this some three hundred pages (foolscap) are now lying submerged in the depths of our trunk, to be, perhaps, recovered at some future day - if, haply, they do not share the fate of our History of Ruins!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands
