	Joseph Henry
		Joseph Henry (1797-1878) is widely considered the foremost American scientist of the 19th century.
		Although Henry at an early age appeared to be headed for a career in the theater, a chance encounter with a book of lectures on scientific topics turned his interest to science.
		Henry's early investigations concerned electromagnetic phenomena, and his discovery of electromagnetic self-induction in 1831 established his reputation in America.

		During that decade four individuals played key roles: Henry and Morse in the USA and Wheatstone and Cooke in the UK and their respective contributions were later discussed at great length in patent litigation.
		In 1831, Henry used his electromagnet to show that electrical impulses could be communicated over distances greater than a few hundred metres – hitherto thought impracticable.
		An artist by training, Morse was returning by ship from England to the USA in 1832 when he overheard discussion of the electromagnet and this inspired him to develop a scheme both for the electric telegraph and also the coded language of dots and dashes later known as Morse code.
