Lindsay, The Master of (1847-1913)
Also later known as the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres. A famous figure in the early history of English Spiritualism owing to his association with Lord Adare in testimony to the phenomena of the medium D. D. Home. He appeared before the committee of the London Dialectical Society in 1869 and testified to Home's powers. His account of Home's most famous levitation and floating out of the third-story window of Lord Adare's house led to sharp controversy in later literature.
