Excerpt from Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, 1844, Vol. 37 I propose, in the following Memoir, to offer some observations on the views recently published by Dr Samuel Brown Mr Knox, and Mr Rigg, concerning the compound nature of silicon, nitrogen, and carbon. Before entering, however, at any length on the discussion of these, I would consider, very briefly, some points connected with the general question of the simplicity and unity of matter.
