It is well known that advances in technology have made the telegram archaic—by reason of telephone, fax, email, etc. Yet, as this book makes clear, there were other uses for the technology. This book covers one of the most shocking scandals of Victorian London—a ring of telegraph boys who happened onto a more lucrative means of making a living than delivering telegrams. A son of King Edward VII was but one elite member of society alleged to be on the receiving end of this telegraphic service.
