Actually this isn't true, because those four equations didn't stem from 
Maxwell, but from Oliver Heaviside.

It is really important, that Maxwell himself was an 'aetherist' and 
wanted to use quaternions.

Maxwell himself wrote 20 quaternion equations, which were crippled to 
the current four equations by Gibbs and Heaviside.
