Samuel F.B. Morse: his letters and journals. Edited and supplemented by his son Edward Lind Morse; illustrated with reporductions of his paintings and with notes and diagrams bearing on the invention of the telegraph
A two-volume collection of Samuel F.B. Morse's letters and journals, edited by his son Edward Lind Morse and published by Houghton Mifflin in Boston in 1914 for readers of American biography and telegraph history. Halftone plates show the first telegraph instruments in close-up — wooden frames, coils of wire, gears and pendulums — alongside soft-toned portraits, useful for machine silhouettes and period portrait vignettes.
