Excerpt from Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, 1863, Vol. 18 Thus far, then, we have got; the phenomenon itself is no fiction, however erroneous may be the explanation of it by a flood.

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. The great majority of chemists acknowledge the existence of some 55 simple or elementary substances. These are declared to be simple, not in virtue of any test of simplicity which the chemist has discovered and applied to them, but solely because they resist the decomposing or modifying action of all the forces which are, or at least are known to be, at man's disposal.

Excerpt from The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, Vol. 33: Exhibiting a View of the Progressive Discoveries and Improvements in the Sciences and the Arts; April-October, 1842 With respect to the heat from the internal source, if we re eet a moment, it will appear probable that it was formerly greater in amount, from a consideration of the phenomena which the most recent cataclysm has brought into view. The rents which we now see filled with protruded matter could not have been made by a force suficient to elevate the rocks in which they were made very much out of their original po sition, because in that case the rents would not probably have been filled.
