		To-day the Clan Lindsay Society is one of the largest and most influential of the bodies which perpetuate the traditions of their name in the past, and utilise the spirit of race and patriotism for benevolent purposes in the present.

		James Bowman Lindsay could have been revered and immortalized in statue and song.
		It is a never-ending challenge that is certain to result in no more pleasure than James Bowman must have felt when he put down his quill every day: "Okay so far," he smiled as he read over the long columns on the page, "…more tomorrow," and he switched off the light and went to sleep.
		I think one of the main reasons Lindsay's light didn't catch on was that there was no readily available distribution of electrical power in those days.

		Lindsay was one of those great men born before their time, and therefore not understood by those among whom they live.
		After Lindsay, the next experimenter in wireless was Clerk Maxwell, who, in a lecture before the Royal Society, submitted that wireless telegraphy would be possible by means of electric magnetic waves, the velocity of which, he concluded, was the same as that of light, a conclusion subsequently proved to be correct.

		A communication was published several (about three or four) months ago in the "National Intelligencer" from a wealthy gentleman here of the name of Lindsay, wherein he states that a relative of his, Lord Lindsay of Scotland, had imagined and promulgated the ideal of a transatlantic Telegraph as far back as the year 1840.
		Lord Lindsay (James Bowman Lindsay), referred to in Glenn's letter, was a Scottish inventor (1799-1862), who according to his diary proposed in 1843 a system of submerging sheets of copper and zinc and using the ocean as a giant battery to send signals.
		Lindsay was granted UK Patent No. 1242 in 1854 for "A Mode of Transmitting Messages by Means of Electricity through and across a Body or Bodies of Water".

	Who invented the electric light bulb?
		What is more, while Edison and Swan produced the first commercial incandescent lamps in October 1880 and early 1881 respectively, neither created the first practical electric lamp.
		This was produced much earlier, in 1835, by a self-taught Scottish scientist called James Bowman Lindsay.
		Whether this lamp, which didn't have a filament, but provided enough light for him to write up his results by, counts as a bulb is debatable.

		They all might have been trumped by a little-known Scottish inventor who could claim to be the first to transmit a signal wirelessly, in a manner of speaking.
		In 1854 James Bowman Lindsay transmitted a wireless signal across the River Tay using the water of the river itself as the conducting medium.
