Benjamin Brodie, a professor of chemistry at Oxford University, renewed the project for algebraic reform of chemical formulas in a paper presented to the Chemical Society of London in 1867. Chemists recognized the aim of the project to be a "strictly philosophical system of chemical notation by means of actual formulae instead of mere symbols."69 But again, there was little...

William H. Brock describes episodes from the second half of the 19 century in which chemists debated the truth of the atomic-molecnlar theoiy. In both cases, doubts about the physical reality of atoms led chemists to question the soundness of chemical atomism. The two central figures in this chapter are Benjamin Brodie,... 

Daubeny s retirement from the chair of chemistry in 1854, while retaining those of botany and rural economy, left uncertain the future of the chemistry laboratory in the new Museum. One man who had a strong claim to the chair was Benjamin Collins Brodie, " the son of the baronet Sir Benjamin Brodie, a surgeon at St George s Hospital and soon to be President of the Royal Society. The younger Brodie, who was to inherit the baronetcy in 1862, had attended Balliol College where he studied mathematics under Powell, in which he obtained second-class honours in 1838, and chemistry under Daubeny, before...
