BROWN, See also:SAMUEL See also:MORISON (1817—1856) , Scottish chemist,
itinerating See also:libraries, and See also:grandson of See also:John Brown, author of the Self-Interpreting See also:Bible. In 1832 he entered the university of See also:Edinburgh, where, after studying in See also:Berlin and St See also:Petersburg, he graduated as M.D. in 1839. About 184o he was engaged in experiments by which he sought to prove that " See also:carbon in certain states of See also:combination is susceptible of See also:conversion into See also:silicon," and his failure to establish this proposition had much to do with his want of success as a See also:candidate for the See also:chair of See also:chemistry at Edinburgh in 1843. He held the See also:doctrine that the chemical elements are compounds of equal and similar atoms, and might therefore possibly be all derived from one generic See also:atom. In 185o he published a tragedy, Galileo Galilei, and two volumes of his Lectures on the Atomic Theory and Essays Scientific and See also:Literary appeared in 1858, with a See also:preface by his kinsman Dr John Brown, the author of Horae Subsecivae. He died at Edinburgh on the loth of See also:September 1856.
