“There are few, if any, persons more fitted to write a treatise on submarine telegraphy than Mr. Charles Bright. The author has done his work admirably, and has written in a way which will appeal as much to the layman as to the engineer. This admirable volume must, for many years to come, hold the position of the English classic on submarine telegraphy.”—Engineer.
“This book is full of information. It makes a book of reference which should be in every engineer’s library.”—Nature.
“Mr. Bright’s interestingly written and admirably illustrated book will meet with a welcome reception from cable men.”—Electrician.
“The author deals with his subject from all points of view—political and strategical as well as scientific. The work will be of interest, not only to men of science, but to the general public. We can strongly recommend it.”—Athenæum.
“The work contains a great store of technical information concerning the making and working of submarine telegraphs. In bringing together the most valuable results relating to the evolution of the telegraph, the author has rendered a service that will be very widely appreciated.”—Morning Post.
