Written by Brights brother and son, this two-volume 1898 biography chronicles one of the foremost electrical engineers of the Victorian age. Publisher Description Sir Charles Tilston Bright (1832-88) was a renowned telegraph engineer, best known for his role in laying the first successful transatlantic cable in 1858, for which he was knighted. Bright later worked on the telegraph networks that would span not only the British Empire but the entire globe. Written by his brother Edward Brailsford Bright (1831-1913) and son Charles (1863-1937), both telegraph engineers who worked alongside him, this two-volume biography, first published in 1898, would do much to cement Brights reputation as an electrical engineer, providing an insider account of telegraphys formative years. Volume 1 traces Brights career as an early employee of the worlds first public telegraphy company, the Electric Telegraph Company, and his work on land and submarine cable telegraphy, culminating in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cables in the mid-nineteenth century.
