It is my intent to beget a good understanding between the chymists and the mechanical philosophers who have hitherto been too little acquainted with one another's learning.

Published in 1661, many people believe that this book was one of the first to argue in favour of what we now know as modern chemistry, and against the pseudoscience of alchemy. In doing so, Boyle was taking on some of the great historical names in the field we now call the philosophy of science.

The Dutch historian of science Eduard Jan Dijksterhuis perhaps best summed up the influence the book had:

After the appearance of The Sceptical Chymist, Aristotle's doctrine of the four elements, as well as Paracelsus' theory of the three principia, gradually passes into disuse.

The Sceptical Chymist: or Chymico-Physical Doubts & Paradoxes is the title of a book by Robert Boyle, published in London in 1661. In the form of a dialogue, the Sceptical Chymist presented Boyle's hypothesis that matter consisted of corpuscles and clusters of corpuscles in motion and that every phenomenon was the result of collisions of particles in motion. Boyle also objected to the definitions of elemental bodies propounded by Aristotle and by Paracelsus, instead defining elements as perfectly unmingled bodies (see below). For these reasons Robert Boyle has sometimes been called the founder of modern chemistry.

The Christian Virtuoso is not merely a treatise on scientific exploration; it is a profound testament to the harmonious coexistence of faith and the pursuit of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Boyle posits a bold proposition: that engaging in experimental philosophy, the precursor to modern scientific inquiry, not only does not hinder but actively aids an individual in becoming a better Christian.

The original text from which this new edition is drawn contains several archaic spellings, some grammatical inconsistencies, and outdated language conventions. The Revised Version attempts to capture the meaning and intent of the original text while adhering to modern English conventions.

TO give the Reader an account, Why the following Treatise is suffer'd to pass abroad so maim'd and imperfect, I must inform him that 'tis now long since, that to gratify an ingenious Gentleman, I set down some of the Reasons that kept me from fully acquiescing either in the Peripatetical, or in the Chymical Doctrine, of the Material Principles of mixt Bodies.

The Sceptical Chymist: or Chymico-Physical Doubts & Paradoxes is the title of a book by Robert Boyle, published in London in 1661. In the form of a dialogue, the Sceptical Chymist presented Boyle's hypothesis that matter consisted of atoms and clusters of atoms in motion and that every phenomenon was the result of collisions of particles in motion. For these reasons Robert Boyle has been called the founder of modern chemistry by J. R. Partington. Boyle first argued that fire is not a universal and sufficient analyzer of dividing all bodies into their elements, contrary to Jean Beguin and Joseph Duchesne. To prove this he turned for support to Jan Baptist van Helmont whose Alkahest was reputed to be a universal analyzer.

An Essay About The Origins And Virtues Of Gems is a book written by Robert Boyle, a prominent figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. The book is a philosophical and scientific exploration of the origins and properties of gems, including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Boyle examines the geological processes that create gems, as well as their physical and chemical properties. He also explores the cultural and symbolic meanings that have been attributed to gems throughout history, including their use in jewelry, medicine, and magic. Throughout the book, Boyle argues that gems are not only valuable for their beauty and rarity, but also for their potential medicinal and spiritual properties. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between science, philosophy, and culture, and remains a classic work in the field of gemology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Hydrostatical Paradoxes, Made Out By New Experiments: For The Most Part Physical And Easy is a scientific book written by Robert Boyle and published in 1666. The book focuses on hydrostatics, which is the study of fluids at rest, and presents various experiments and paradoxes related to this field. Boyle's experiments are designed to challenge the prevailing theories of hydrostatics and offer new insights into the behavior of fluids. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to a wide audience. It is considered an important work in the history of science and has influenced subsequent research in the field of hydrostatics. Overall, Hydrostatical Paradoxes is a fascinating exploration of the properties of fluids and the scientific method used to study them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

What distinguishes Boyle's book from similar studies is his sensitive judgment as critic and his deep and refined spirituality as a man of God. His approach is uncomplicated. After discussing the nature of metaphor, he reaches a provisional definition that includes rhythm. This rhythm, he believes, has unique metaphorical significance in Hopkins's poetry.

The Christian Virtuoso is a book written by Robert Boyle in the 17th century. The first part of the book argues that being interested in experimental philosophy (what we now call science) does not make a person less likely to be a good Christian. Instead, Boyle argues, a person who is curious about the natural world and seeks to understand it through experimentation and observation is actually more likely to be a good Christian. Boyle believed that studying the natural world was a way to better understand God's creation and to appreciate the wonder and beauty of the world around us. The book is written in a style that is both philosophical and practical, with Boyle drawing on his own experiences as a scientist and a Christian to make his arguments. Overall, The Christian Virtuoso is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between science and religion, and how the two can work together to deepen our understanding of the world and our place in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
