- Editor's Notes
- People who can make great scientific discoveries seldom can reap a just financial reward for their genius. "Inventors usually lack business tact." This article takes TAE's loss in connection with the phonograph patent as such an example. It also cites a man named Keely who has is ruch but whose "genius ran that direction instead of in the direction of a wonderful motor," which hasn't moted yet.
- Thomas Edison accuses late legal adviser John C. Tomlinson and electrician/inventor Ezra T. Gilliland of cheating him out of $250,000 in the sale of the phonograph
