Authorship of the Practical Electric Telegraph of Great Britain: Or, the Brunel Award Vindicated, in Vii. Letters in Assertion of His Brother's [Sir W (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781144102164)

In "Authorship of the Practical Electric Telegraph of Great Britain," Thomas Fothergill Cooke passionately defends his brother, Sir William Fothergill Cooke's, claim to the invention of the practical electric telegraph. Published in 1868, this collection of seven letters serves as a detailed rebuttal to those who challenged Sir William's rights, particularly in relation to the Brunel Award.

Cooke meticulously presents his arguments, asserting the significance of his brother's contributions to this groundbreaking technology. This book offers a valuable insight into the complex history of the electric telegraph, the fierce competition among inventors, and the challenges of securing recognition for scientific innovation during the Victorian era. It remains a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of technology, intellectual property, and the lives of pioneering inventors.
