Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches Old and New My Dear Sir: - Ever since I received the proof of your great skill, in connection with your skilful associates, in testing rapid transmission of despatches by the Morse Telegraph System, I have been desirous of manifesting to you, and also to N.J. Snyder, Esq., of Philadelphia, some token of my gratification on your accomplishment of feats which, so far as I know, are unexampled in the annals of telegraphy. Please, therefore, accept from me. on this, the 78th anniversary of my birth, the accompanying gold pencil case and pen, as a very slight and indeed inadequate expression of my admiration of your masterly performance of recording 2,731 words in one hour; a feat which I have not failed to put on record in my report to the Department of State on the telegraph apparatus of the Paris Exposition of 1867. The necessity for exclusive attention in preparing the above-mentioned report has prevented an earlier recognition of your skill. My thanks are also due to all concerned in the satisfactory result of the test of speedy transmission. While your associates deserve high praise for their rare dexterity in manipulation, you and Mr. Snyder, I think, deserve the highest praise for the admirable and indeed built less manner of recording that which was so ably transmitted. Accept, also, the assurance of my sincere respect and esteem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
