Scope and Content
These copies were made by George Bristow of the successor firm to Wilson and Harrison with the idea of publishing them on the 50th anniversary of the first Patent for the Electric Telegraph. The Volume contains copies of three letters between Bristow and Latimer Clark, and copies of extracts of other letters. Several letters were cut out for publication in 1893. There are also some notes made by a clerk at Bristow's concerning the other original material and its whereabouts, and also references to The Electric Telegraph: Was It Invented by Professor Wheatstone? in 2 volumes by Sir W F Cooke, 1856-1857. The copies are easier to read than the extensively crossed originals.
