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
Bright's reputation as an electrical engineer, providing an insider
account of telegraphy's formative years. Volume 1 traces Bright's
career as an early employee of the world's 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.
