1808Sir H. Davy in Phil. Trans. XCVIII. 353 Had I been so fortunate as..to have procured the metallic substances I was in search of, I should have proposed for them the names of silicium, alumium, zirconium, and glucium. 1812― Chem. Philos. 364 No compound of silicum and chlorine is known. 1822J. Imison Sci. & Art II. 91 It is imagined, however, that Silicium forms an alloy with iron. 1861Sir W.
