From the blurb: "Few names in the history of science are better known than that of the Honourable Robert Boyle, F.R.S., (1627-1691). His chemical and physical researches, his association with the early history of the Royal Society, and his influence on the development of scientific thought in the seventeenth century have been the subject of many general and specialized studies. Dr. Maddison's 'Life' is based on a close study of the Boyle papers and includes much new material. Its purpose is essentially to record the facts of Boyle's life and to serve as a guide to the numerous and varied, primary and secondary sources which are available for a study of his many scientific and other activities.".
