which has ever been attained by human mind. From his work followed the great work of Roentgen, who discovered the Roentgen Rays, and all that work which has been carried on throughout the world in following years by J. J. Thompson and others. which has really led to the conception of modern physics. His work antidated that of Marconi and formed the basis of wireless telegraphy, which is one of the most scientific applications, and so on throughout all branches of science and engineering of the present day."

John Stone Stone, wireless expert, author, in reviewing the work of Lodge, Marconi, Thomson and others:

"Among all those, the name of Nikola Tesla stands out most prominently. Tesla with his almost preternatural insight into alternating current phenomena that has enabled him some years before to revolutionize the art of electric power transmission through the invention of the rotary field motor, knew how to make resonance serve, not merely the role of a microscope, to make visible the electric oscillations, as Hertz had done, but he made it serve the role of a stereopticon He did more to excite interest and create an intelligent understanding of these phenomena — than any one else — and it has been difficult to make any but unimportant improvements in the art of radio telegraphy without traveling, part of the way at least, along a trail blazed by this pioneer who, though eminently ingenious, practical and successful in the apparatus he devised and constructed, was so far ahead of his time that the best of us then mistook him for a dreamer."

Privy Councillor Prof. A. Slaby, leading German authority in a letter to Tesla:

"I am devoting myself since some time to investigations in wireless telegraphy, which you have first founded in such a clear and precise manner. It will interest you as father of this telegraphy to know, etc.
