David Lindo was a notable Jamaican merchant and chemist active in the 19th century.^[1]

Career

He was a member of the Lindo Brothers firm, a diversified enterprise that owned several businesses, including the Fire Proof Store (provisions and estate supplies), Medical Hall (a druggist), Waterloo House (a dry goods business), as well as cigar and tinware factories. The firm also operated a newspaper, the Falmouth Post.

Lindo was a self-taught chemist who earned international recognition for his scientific contributions. Notably, he developed the Lindo-Gladding method, a chemical procedure used to determine the amount of potassium in a sample—a technique that gained widespread application and acclaim in the field of analytical chemistry.^[2]^[3]
