Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802 75) was a shoemaker's son whose
fascination with physics led him to become one of the most
celebrated scientists and inventors of his time. Apprenticed to his
uncle, a musical instrument manufacturer, Wheatstone studied the
physics of sound, publishing his first scientific paper in 1823. He
was the chief developer of telegraphy, inventing increasingly
advanced instruments for transmitting and receiving information.
Telegraphy revolutionized communication in the Victorian era,
eventually making almost instantaneous global communication
possible. This collection of Wheatstone's works, first published in
1879, spans his entire career and includes fully illustrated
details of many of his pioneering inventions. His broad-ranging
research led to numerous important advances; those in telegraphy
and cryptography were still in military use as late as the Second
World War. This collection is a valuable source for the history of
science, and a fitting tribute to Wheatstone's 'industry and
versatility'.
