Excerpt from Lectures on the Science of Human Life
Thus, of those foims of mattei which in chemistry are at present considered elements, different aggregations of the same molecules make substances not only of entiiely ditierent natures, but of propemes as different as those of aquafortis and the ba! My air which we breathe; of sugar and vinegar; otcha1coal and diamond. And thus again, by differently arranging the same molecules of matter, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and other colors and tints are produced; and in like manner, are formed the most flagrant and most offensive odor; and the different qualities of sweet and sour and bitter, etc. And there are reasons for believing that light and heat, and electricity and magnetism, instead of being essentially different substances, are but the results of particular aggregations or arrangements and conditions of the same primary atoms of matter.
