Abstract
TWO books have recently appeared dealing with telegraphy from shore to shore, the one on “Submarine Telegraphs” from the pen of Mr. Charles Bright alone, the other the two-volume treatise now under review. Both are somewhat lengthy, the former because the description of “Submarine Telegraphs” was so much bound up with details concerning the life of Sir Charles Bright, and the latter because to the “Life Story of the late Sir Charles Bright” has been added so much about the history of submarine telegraphy.
The Life Story of the late Sir Charles Tilston Bright; with which is incorporated the Story of the Atlantic Cable and the First Telegraph to India and the Colonies.
By his Brother, Edward Brailsford Bright Charles Bright. Pp. xix + 506, and xi + 701. (Westminster: A. Constable and Co.)
