Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Unfortunately for us, at least from a book-selling point of View, our old taste for archaeology, after lying dormant for years, reasserted itself, and, about six years ago, we found ourselves in the design of writing a history of telegraphy from the time of Adam down to our own!

For this we had a pile of notes and paper cuttings - the accumulation of a dozen years, but few books (books are heavy and awkward baggage for one of our necessarily semi-nomadic life).

How ever, with our materials we built up a tolerably fleshy skeleton (if we may so speak), which, on our arrival in England at the close of 1882, after nearly fifteen years' absence, we showed to some friends.
