William Fothergill Cooke
Until the 1830s, the principles of electric telegraphy were confined to laboratories and classrooms. Hoping only to make a hundred pounds, William Fothergill Cooke (1806–79) developed the invention for commercial use. This collection of his letters, which detail the painstaking process of his work, was first published in 1895.
