Transcript of Arthur Sullivan's message to Edison upon introduction to the
phonograph:

...For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified
at the result of this evening's experiment--astonished at the wonderful

is the most wonderful thing that I have ever experienced, and I congratulate
you with all my heart on this wonderful discovery.
