Joseph Glanvill
Joseph Glanvill (1636–1680) was an English writer, philosopher, and clergyman. Not himself a scientist, he has been called "the most skillful apologist of the virtuosi", or in other words the leading propagandist for the approach of the English natural philosophers of the later 17th century.〔Richard S. Westfall, ''Science and Religion in Seventeenth-Century England'' (1973), p. 18.〕 In 1661 he predicted
:''The time will come, when making use of magnetic waves that permeate the ether,...we shall communicate with (on the opposite side of the globe )''. 〔Bradbeer, Robin. ''A glimpse into the future of television'', The Guardian, 7 March 1985〕
==Life==
He was raised in a strict Puritan household, and educated at Oxford University, where he graduated B.A. from Exeter College in 1655, M.A. from Lincoln College in 1658.〔(Galileo Project page )〕〔''Concise Dictionary of National Biography''〕
Glanvill was made vicar of Frome in 1662, and was a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1664. He was rector of the Abbey Church at Bath from 1666 to 1680, and prebendary of Worcester in 1678.〔
