Présentation de l'éditeur
Thomas Alva Edison is alive, very much so, and it is hoped that some measure of his vitality vibrates in these pages. To him, to his friends, and to former biographers especially Messrs. Dyer Martin, Francis A. Jones, W. K. L. A. Dickson, and two anonymous writers the author of this book acknowledges his indebtedness. A personality such as that of Edison lends itself to many presentments. To use a simile, it is a gem on which many facets may be cut. This biography of the Wizard, however, has one end in view to show Edison as a Great American. That his life is a splendid stimulus to every American boy and girl, to every American man and woman, is the writers belief, and to fling before the youth of the United States the heroic figure of America sgreatest inventor in its most clarion appeal is the aim and purpose of THE AUTHOR.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
