The following editorial appeared in a Boston newspaper toward the end of the 19th century“ A man about 46 years of age, giving the name of Joshua Coppersmith, has been arrested in New York for attempting to extort funds from ignorant and superstitious people by exhibiting a device which he says will convey the human voice and distance over metallic wires, so that it will be heart to the listener at the other end. He calls the instrument a ‘Telephone’ , which is obviously intended to imitate the word ‘Telegraph’ and win the confidence of those who know of the success of telegraph without understanding the principles

on which it is based. Well informed people know that

it is impossible to transmit a human voice over a metallic wire”.
