In July, 1877, one of the authors of this book brought the first pair of practical telephones to Europe. There are now 200, 000 in daily use.' Sir William Henry Preece (1834-1913) spent the greater part of his career with the Post Office electric telegraph system and, according to the DNB, was initially reluctant to introduce the competing telephone, considering that a plentiful supply of messengers and errand boys was a sufficient alternative.
