Excerpt from The Electric Telegraph, Vol. 1: Was It Invented by Professor Wheatston?, Containing Pamphlets of 1854-6

The first Part of this publication contains my recent and most reluctant appeal to the Public against Professor Wheatstone's perseveringly repeated misrepresentations; Mr. Wheatstone's Answer; and my Reply: the second Part contains a reprint of the proceedings in an earlier controversy between us; when the late Sir Isambard Brunei and Professor Daniell, having been called in as Arbitrators to adjust our relative claims to the Invention of the Electric Telegraph, awarded the questions in dispute in my favour.

The arbitration papers and drawings will be found, I hope, to contain matter of more permanent and general interest than the personal controversy which has called them forth.

My object, in this Preface, is to state, very shortly and in order of date, the leading facts established by the documents now published, with references to the documents themselves as my authorities.
