Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authorship of the Practical Electric Telegraph of Great Britain, or the Brunel Award Vindicated: In VII Letters, Containing Extracts From the Arbitration Evidence of 1841, Edited in Assertion of His Brother's Rights Could this utter ignoring of his Partner's name, to whose priority, as the Originator and Developer of Practical Telegraphy he had solemnly subscribed, have been predicted as possible in a Scientific History of the Invention of the Electric Telegraph, prompted exclusively by Wheatstone for an article in the Quarterly Review? If, as in simplest justice bound, he had communicated the Brunel Award, which he substantially inverted, the Editor would probably have drawn his pen through all the rest. A precisely similar cause of complaint will be found in letter v., p. 30, when to Mr. Wheatstone had been confided the business of presenting the inventions of the partners for specification in the first patent. Vol. I., pp. 181 - 3. The Professor writes evasively Mr. Wheatstone is not responsible for every minute statement in a recent number of the Quarterly Review.' (answer, yo]. I., p. True - Foreign inventors were indebted for just recognition, not to Mr. Wheatstone, but to the Editor. But will Professor Wheatstone now drop these minute statements, and deny responsibility for the article, as a whole?
