Alexander Gordon (1802-1868) was the second son of Mr. David Gordon, the inventor and patentee of the system of compressing gas and using it in a portable form. He was born at New York (where his father at that time resided) on the 5th of May, 1802. At the age of five years he returned with his father to Scotland, and was subsequently educated at the Edinburgh University. In early life he was much employed by Telford, and was on intimate terms with the Messrs. Bramah, Donkin, Field, Simpson, and other members of the Institution. For many years he was agent for Mr. R. Napier, the marine engineer at Glasgow, and he was also manager of the portable gasworks in London, until they were abolished. Mr. Gordon devoted himself principally to the construction and management of lighthouses, especially in the colonies.
