For the limitation on lumped circuit approach, it is not important

believe, can alone account for the wonderful, varied, and beautiful
phaenomena of polarization, is not the same as that which occurs on the
surface of disturbed water, or the waves of sound in gases or liquids, for
the vibrations in these cases are direct, or to and from the centre of
action, whereas the former are lateral. It seems to me, that the resultant
of two or more lines of force is in an apt condition for that action which
may be considered as equivalent to a lateral vibration; whereas a uniform
medium, like the aether, does not appear apt, or more apt than air or
water."

I hope you can read what you quoted above and understand it... note
specifically:

It endeavors to
dismiss the aether, but not the vibration.

so with this he has decided there is NO aether!

is not the same as that which occurs on the
surface of disturbed water, or the waves of sound in gases or liquids,

so all the comparisons to water waves or sound waves are NOT correct!

equivalent to a lateral vibration

NOT longitudinal!

so by these statements he has said that electromagnetic waves ARE NOT
caused by an aether, and ARE lateral, NOT longitudinal... and CAN NOT
be compared to sound or water vibrations!
