- Editor's Notes
- "The immense wealth which TAE has made from his inventions may be inferred from the litigation concerning the phonograph." The article then details how TAE's success can be inferred from how much Gilliland and Tomlinson sold their phonograph stock for. "If his phonograph already bought half a million, with a chance of an equal sum, what must naturally be the aggregate of his inventions!"
- 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; history of the case; he sues for the sum
