Elisha Gray is a name known and honored by scientific men the world over. Farmer's boy, blacksmith apprentice, ship-joiner, carpenter, self-supporting through a college course; his genius interested him in electricity, and in that realm his Inventions have made him famous. These, with his organization and presidency of the Congress of Electricians at the Columbian Fair of 1893, and his many decorations and degrees, conferred at home and abroad, all stand sponsors for his fame.
These little volumes convey scientific truth without technical terms, and are enriched with reminiscence, anecdote, and reflections that allure and hold the interest.
"The place held by Elisha Gray in the scientific world has been won not by catering to the applause of the public, but by a life devoted to original investigation in untrodden fields."—Chicago Times-Herald.
