Abstract
THIS book covers most of the ground relating to telephony from its earliest stages to the present time. It may, indeed, be regarded as a “Short History” of telephony, and, as a matter of fact, the author's original intention was to write a history, but circumstances were not favourable to the project. However, the future historian will find in Mr. Kingsbury's volume much useful historical matter and many finger-posts indicating different avenues of development which merit much fuller treatment than has been possible in this work.
The Telephone and Telephone Exchanges: their Invention and Development.
By J. E. Kingsbury. Pp. x + 558. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1915.) Price 12s. 6d. net.
