8vo. xi, 355 pp. Printed wrappers. Fine. ISBN: 0226734978 In a provocative reassessment of one of the quintessential figures of early modern science, Rose-Mary Sargent explores Robert Boyle's philosophy of experiment, a central aspect of his life and work that became a model for mid- to late seventeenth-century natural philosophers and for many who followed them. / Sargent examines the philosophical, legal, experimental, and religious traditionsâ"among them English common law, alchemy, medicine, and Christianityâ"that played a part in shaping Boyle's experimental thought and practice. The roots of his philosophy in his early life and education, in his religious ideals, and in the work of his predecessorsâ"particularly Bacon, Descartes, and Galileoâ"are fully explored, as are the possible influences of his social and intellectual circle. Drawing on the full range of Boyle's published works, as well as on his unpublished notebooks and manuscripts, Sargent shows how these diverse influences were transformed and incorporated into Boyle's views on and practice of experiment. Rose-Mary Sargent is assistant professor of philosophy at Merrimack College.…

ISBN: 0521560292 Jan's articles and book on Robert Boyle have made a lasting contribution to the history of philosophy and the history of science. Based on fine historical scholarship and sophisticated philosophical analysis, Robert Boyle and the Limits of Reason (Cambridge University Press, 1997) demonstrates the relationships among Boyle's theology, philosophy, and natural philosophy. It is a fine model of contextualized history of philosophy. [Obituary, Margaret J. Osler, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Volume 44, Number 4, October 2006].…

16mo. pp. [50], 269, [5], 271-433, [1]errata. An attractive copy in old-style mottled calf with gilt paneled sides (slightly embrowned, corner of 1 leaf with partial loss of catchword). First Edition. Boyle argued that qualities like colour, taste, and texture were not intrinsic but resulted from the effects which tiny fundamental particles he called corpuscles produced upon their immediate surroundings. This work was a key text in the development of the corpuscular philosophy, a precursor to modern atomic theory, and sought to explain observable properties through the underlying structure of matter, a concept that challenged traditional Aristotelian explanations. This important work, together with his 'Colours', paved the way for the Newtonian concept of light. Duveen p. 92. Fulton 77. Madan 2739. Neu 667. Wellcome II p. 222. Wing B4014. cfHoneyman 467.…

Zustand: Buono (Good). Due opere in un volume in-8vo (mm. 144x93). [20], 179, [1], 55, [1], 131, [1] pp. Segnatura [?]² a? A-L? M² 2A-C? D? a cui segue: Tentamen Porologicum sive ad porositatem Corporum tum animalium, tum Solidorum, Detegendam [?] con segnatura 2A4 B-I8 K2. Frontespizi entro cornice tipografica, presenti piccole annotazioni coeve. Testo ad ampi margini, carta uniformemente brunita (fioriture diffuse in alcune cc.). Cc. M-M2 parzialmente distaccate, alle cc. 2B2-3 piccolo strappo marginale non inficiante il testo. Pergamena coeva rigida con titolo manoscritto al dorso (rilegatura lievemente macchiata).Prima edizione latine di queste due opere, apparse precedentemente in inglese. L' Apparatus ad Historiam naturalem Sanguinis Humani [?] rappresenta il primo studio scientifico sul sangue ed è considerato uno dei testi fondanti della chimica fisiologica. Della seconda si dice che rappresenti l'inizio degli studi sulla pressione osmotica (cfr. Fulton, nr. 150).Robert Boyle è stato un importante chimico, fisico, inventore e filosofo naturalista irlandese del XVII secolo, famoso anche per i suoi scritti di teologia. Nel 1661 pubblica il The sceptical chymist, considerato come il primo libro di chimica in cui sostiene l'infondatezza delle tesi aristoteliche sulla materia e introduce la tesi atomistica ancora oggi accettata: la materia è formata da particelle e tutte sono costituite da atomi diversi. Boyle è inoltre famoso per la ?Legge di Boyle?, in cui si stabilisce che per ogni gas, a temperatura costante, è costante il prodotto della pressione esercitata per il volume occupato. Rara e bella edizione di quello che viene considerato il più importante lavoro medico di Boyle (cfr. Fulton, nr. 146b; Krivatsy, nr. 1709; Morton, nr. 681). Book.…

Zustand: Very Good-. Elzevir Printer's mark to Titlepage. Duodecimo (132x67mm) 18th century roan spined marbled boards (upper hinge repaired/head of spine chipped/tips worn) All edges rouged. Titlepage +[6] +424pp. Coat of arms bookplate & location on front end-paper otherwise completely unmarked crisp copy. *The only Elzevir edition. These essays are the first edition of Boyle's work in Latin to be printed on the continent. Physiologica in this sense included discourses on physics, chemistry, meteorology, medicine & related subjects as well as observations that we would still classify as physiology (eg. dog's digestive system). There are accounts of purely chemical research. According to Fulton "the importance of this work lies in the fact that in a very real sense it was a prologue to the Sceptical Chymist since it continued the attack on the alchemists began in New experiments, and actually it was as much of a landmark in the history of chemistry" [as those other works]. It gives the first clear outline of his corpuscular theory of the nature of matter (References: Fulton 29, Wellcome I 221, Garrison & Morton). 1 volume. Hardcover.…

8vo. pp. 10 p.l., 440, [28], 268. appendix with separate title & pagination. without the advert. leaf before title, as often. woodcut initials. A very good copy in contemporary calf, rebacked (some marginal browning at beginning & in appendix, occasional marginal dampstaining). Second Enlarged Edition, the first to include the previously unpublished 'Experiments And Notes About the Producibleness Of Chymicall Principles', of a cornerstone work in the field of chemistry. Robert Boyle FRS, an Anglo-Irish natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist and inventor, is largely regarded today as the founder of modern chemistry and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method. Boyle challenged the then current Aristotelian and Paracelsian notions of the composition of matter, the Aristotelian doctrine of the four elements fire, air, earth, and water., and the Paracelsian one of the three elements salt, sulphur, and mercury. "The importance of Boyle's book must be sought in his combination of chemistry with physics. His corpuscular theory, and Newton's modification of it, gradually led chemists towards an atomic view of matter. Boyle distinguished between mixtures and compounds and tried to understand the latter in terms of the simpler chemical entities from which they could be constructed. His argument was designed to lead chemists away from the pure empiricism of his predecessors and to stress the theoretical, experimental and mechanistic elements of chemical science. The Sceptical Chymist is concerned with the relations between chemical substances rather than with transmuting one metal into another or the manufacture of drugs. In this sense the book must be considered as one of the most significant milestones on the way to the chemical revolution of Lavoisier." (PMM) Dibner 39. Duveen p. 96. Ferguson I p. 121.

Text is unmarked across all volumes. *Boyle regarded today as the founder of modern chemistry, alonside Newton as a pioneer of the experimental scientific method. As member of the Royal Society he was elected president but declined the honor,and is remembered for the law named after him of volume vs.pressure of gases. Investigation and experiments were to be his way of studying science and he was not one to build hypotheses until proof was obtained. This collection of the many papers and experiments he wrote up are here brought up to date with later findings to produce the best and most complete compilation of his work. Dr Peter Shaw was a London based physician who was appointed physician extraordinary to King George II in 1753. All Vol`s printed in London. 3 volumes. Hardcover.…
