ABSTRACT A FEW months ago my friend Mr. F. F. Tuckett, of Bristol, drew my attention to a passage in Arthur Young's Travels in France, published in 1792, narrating a visit to Lavoisier
and to a certain M. Lomond, the inventor of an electric telegraph, which in some points anticipated that of Ronalds. The mention of Lomond's name in a historical list of telegraphic
inventors recently published by your contemporary, the _Scientific American_, induces me to send you the inclosed extract as likely to be of interest to the readers of NATURE. ARTICLE PDF
