Some Famous People called Adam Anderson

Adam Anderson (physicist)

Adam Anderson AM LLD (27 June 1783 – 5 December 1846) was a Scottish physicist and encyclopedist. He was the rector of Perth Academy from 1811 to 1839, and Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy 1839 to 1846 at St Andrews University.

Anderson designed and supervised the construction of Perth Water Works, and supervised the construction of the royal burgh's gasworks.

The Perth gasworks were originally constructed under his superintendence, and he introduced many improvements leading to the economical production of gas. He wrote the articles "Barometer", "Cold", "Dyeing", "Fermentation", "Evaporation", "Hygrometry", "Navigation", and "Physical Geography" in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopædia (completed 1830), and the article "Gaslight" in the Encyclopædia Britannica.

He died on 5 December 1846, and is buried in the south-east section of Greyfriars Cemetery in Perth.
