The
patronage
of
France
paved
the
way
of
the
type-printer
into
almost
all
other
European
countries;
and
the
French
agreement
as
to
its
use
became
the
model
of
those
made
by
the
other
nations.
On
settling
with
France
in
1862,
Professor
Hughes
went
to
Italy.
Here
a
commission
was
likewise
appointed,
and
a
period
of
probation--only
six
months--was
settled,
before
the
instrument
was
taken
over.
From
Italy,
Professor
Hughes
received
the
Order
of
St.
Maurice
and
St.
Lazare.
In
1863,
the
United
Kingdom
Telegraph
Co.,
England,
introduced
the
type-printer
in
their
system.
In
1865,
Professor
Hughes
proceeded
to
Russia,
and
in
that
country
his
invention
was
adopted
after
six
months'
trial
on
the
St.
Petersburg
to
Moscow
circuit.
At
St.
Petersburg
he
had
the
honour
of
being
a
guest
of
the
Emperor
in
the
summer
palace,
Czarskoizelo,
the
Versailles
of
Russia,
where
he
was
requested
to
explain
his
invention,
and
also
to
give
a
lecture
on
electricity
to
the
Czar
and
his
court.
He
was
there
created
a
Commander
of
the
Order
of
St.
Anne.
In
1865,
Professor
Hughes
also
went
to
Berlin,
and
introduced
his
apparatus
on
the
Prussian
lines.
In
1867,
he
went
on
a
similar
mission
to
Austria,
where
he
received
the
Order
of
the
Iron
Crown;
and
to
Turkey,
where
the
reigning
Sultan
bestowed
on
him
the
Grand
Cross
of
the
Medjidie.
In
this
year,
too
he
was
awarded
at
the
Paris
Exhibition,
a
grand
HORS
LIGNE
gold
medal,
one
out
of
ten
supreme
honours
designed
to
mark
the
very
highest
achievements.
On
the
same
occasion
another
of
these
special
medals
was
bestowed
on
Cyrus
Field
and
the
Anglo-American
Telegraph
Company.
In
1868,
he
introduced
it
into
Holland;
and
in
1869,
into
Bavaria
and
Wurtemburg,
where
he
obtained
the
Noble
Order
of
St.
Michael.
In
1870,
he
also
installed
it
in
Switzerland
and
Belgium.
