On his return passage from Europe in 1832 in the ship Sully, in conversation with others concerning recent electric and magnetic experiments in France, Professor Morse conceived the idea of an electromagnetic and chemical recording telegraph as it now exists. Before the close of that year, a part of the apparatus was constructed in New York. In 1835 he had a mile of telegraph wire, producing h companies, and in Paris (1858) by the American colony, representing nearly every State in the Union.
