, author of the Self-Interpreting Bible. In 1832 he entered the university of Edinburgh, where, after studying in Berlin and St

Petersburg

PETERSBURG

, he graduated as M.D. in 1839. About 184o he was engaged in experiments by which he sought to prove that " carbon in certain states of combination is susceptible of conversion into silicon," and his failure to establish this proposition had much to do with his want of success as a

candidate

CANDIDATE

for the chair of

chemistry

at Edinburgh in 1843. He held the

doctrine

DOCTRINE

that the chemical elements are compounds of equal and similar atoms, and might therefore possibly be all derived from one generic atom. In 185o he published a tragedy, Galileo Galilei, and two volumes of his Lectures on the Atomic Theory and Essays Scientific and Literary appeared in 1858, with a

preface

PREFACE (Med. Lat. prefatia, for classical praefatio, praefari, to speak beforehand)

by his kinsman Dr John

Brown

, the author of Horae Subsecivae. He died at Edinburgh on the loth of September 1856.
