Morse, an American inventor and artist who is best known for his invention of the telegraph and Morse code.

The letters and journals offer insight into Morse's personal relationships, his artistic and scientific pursuits, and his views on politics and society. The book also includes a detailed introduction and annotations by the editor, which provide context and background information on Morse's life and work. Overall, Samuel F. B. Morse His Letters And Journals is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of this important figure in American history.The depressed situation of all my associates in the invention has thrown the whole burden of again attempting a movement entirely on me. With the trifling sum of five hundred dollars I could have had my instruments perfected and before Congress six months ago, but I was unable to run the risk, and I therefore chose to go forward more slowly, but at a great waste of time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
