- Editor's Notes
- [PHONOGRAM TRANSCRIPTION] "Dear Mr Edison, ### If my friend, Edmund Yates, has been a little incoherent, it is in consequence of the excellent dinner and good wines that he has drunk, therefore I beg you will excuse him. He has his lucid intervals. For myself I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening's experiments: astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thoughts that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record for ever, but all the same I think it is the most wonderful thing that I have ever experienced and I congratulate you with all my heart on this wonderful discovery." Arthur Sullivan
