Heroes of the Telegraph

John Munro

In
1889,
Edison,
accompanied
by
his
second
wife,
paid
a
holiday
visit
to
Europe
and
the
Paris
Exhibition.
He
was
received
everywhere
with
the
greatest
enthusiasm,
and
the
King
of
Italy
created
him
a
Grand
Officer
of
the
Crown
of
Italy,
with
the
title
of
Count.
But
the
phonograph
speaks
more
for
his
genius
than
the
voice
of
the
multitude,
the
electric
light
is
a
better
illustration
of
his
energy
than
the
ribbon
of
an
order,
and
the
finest
monument
to
his
pluck,
sagacity,
and
perseverance
is
the
magnificent
laboratory
which
has
been
built
through
his
own
efforts
at
Llewellyn
Park.
[One
of
his
characteristic
sayings
may
be
quoted
here:
'Genius
is
an
exhaustless
capacity
for
work
in
detail,
which,
combined
with
grit
and
gumption
and
love
of
right,
ensures
to
every
man
success
and
happiness
in
this
world
and
the
next.']
