    Extractions: Robert Boyle (1627–1691) was born at Lismore Castle, Munster, Ireland, the fourteenth child of the Earl of Cork. As a young man of means, he was tutored at home and on the Continent. He spent the later years of the English Civil Wars at Oxford, reading and experimenting with his assistants and colleagues. This group was committed to the New Philosophy, which valued observation and experiment at least as much as logical thinking in formulating accurate scientific understanding. At the time of the restoration of the British monarchy in 1660, Boyle played a key role in founding the Royal Society to nurture this new view of science. The Sceptical Chymist (title page). Although Boyle's chief scientific interest was chemistry, his first published scientific work, New Experiments Physico-Mechanicall, Touching the Spring of the Air and its Effects (1660), concerned the physical nature of air, as displayed in a brilliant series of experiments in which he used an air pump to create a vacuum. The second edition of this work, published in 1662, delineated the quantitative relationship that Boyle derived from experimental values, later known as "Boyle's law": that the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure.

We took a small earthen melting Pot, of an almost Cylindrical figure, and well glaz'd (when it was first bak'd) by the heat; and into this we put a small cylinder of Iron of about an inch in thickness, and half as much more in Diameter, made red hot in the fire; and having hastily pump'd out the Air, to prevent the breaking of the Glass; when this vessel seem'd to be well emptied, we let down, by a turning key, a piece of Paper, wherein was put a convenient quantity of flower of Brimstone, under which the iron had been carefully plac'd; so that, being let down, that vehement heat did, as we expected, presently destroy the contiguous paper; whence the included Sulphur fell immediately upon the iron, whose upper part was a little concave, that it might contain the flowers when melted. But all the heat of the iron, though it made the Paper and Sulphur smoke, would not actually kindle either of them that we could perceive.

23. Robert Boyle's Account Of A Degredation Of Gold

    http://www.levity.com/alchemy/boyle.html
    
    Extractions: This is an interesting piece by Robert Boyle in the form of allegorical discourse about the possibility of alchemical transmutation. It was first published under the title Of a Degradation of Gold made by an anti-elixir: a strange chymical narrative. London, 1678. This book is now extremely rare. The text below was transcribed for me by Justin von Bujdoss from the second edition, issued in London in 1739. The Novelty of this Preamble having much suprised the Auditory, at length, Simplicius, with a disdainful Smile, told Pyrophilus: "That the Company would have much thanked him if he could have assured them, That he had seen another Metal exalted into Gold; but, that to find a Way of spoiling Gold, was not only a useless Discovery, but a prejudicial Practice." Pyrophilus having at this part of his Discourse made a short pawse to take a breath, Crattippus took occasion from his silence to say to him, " I presume, Pyrophilus, I shall be disavowed by very few of these Gentlemen, if I tell you that the company is impatient to hear the Narrative of your Experiment, and that if it do so much as probably make out the particulars you have been mentioning, you will in likelyhood perswade most of them, and will certainly oblige them all. I shall therefore on their behalf as well as my own, sollicite you to hasten to the Historical part of a Discourse that is so like to gratifie our Curiosity."

    Extractions: The Life and Thought of Robert Boyle By Michael Hunter Birkbeck College, University of London Contents Boyle returned to England in 1644, settling on the estate left to him by his father at Stalbridge in Dorset; here, he spent much of the next decade. From the outset, Boyle self-consciously embarked on a career as a writer, but, contrary to what might be expected from his later publications, his efforts were not initially devoted to science. His first project (in 1645-6) was his Aretology , a somewhat stilted treatise on 'Ethicall Elements' intended to lay down the rudiments of morality as a basis for the pursuit of virtue. Subsequently, Boyle experimented with other literary genres, including pious reflections, imaginary lives, speeches and letters presenting moralistic prescriptions to fictional addressees: one of the latter was ultimately to appear in modified form as Some Motives and Incentives to the Love of God (1659), usually referred to by its running title

    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Boyle.html
    
    Extractions: Robert Boyle was born into a Protestant family. His father was Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, who had left England in 1588 at the age of 22 and gone to Ireland. Appointed clerk of the council of Munster by Elizabeth I in 1600, he bought Sir Walter Raleigh's estates in the counties of Cork, Waterford, and Tipperary two years later. Robert's mother, Catherine Fenton, was Richard Boyle's second wife, his first having died within a year of the birth of their first child. Robert was the seventh son (and fourteenth child) of his parents fifteen children (twelve of the fifteen survived childhood). Richard Boyle was in his 60s and Catherine Boyle in her 40s when Robert was born. Of his father Robert would later write [12]:- He, by God's blessing on his prosperous industry, from very inconsiderable beginnings, built so plentiful and so eminent a fortune, that his prosperity has found many admirers, but few parallels. Indeed, Robert was fortunate to have the richest man in Great Britain for a father although, one would have to say, the Earl of Cork had acquired his fortune by somewhat dubious means. He was imprisoned in England on charges of embezzlement at one stage and later was fined heavily for possessing defective titles to some of his estates.

Dougald Robert Boyle was a Scot from Mabou, born in 1847; however, for the greater part of his lifetime he was a citizen of Isle Madame. We know that Dougald's mode of communication was through voice or newspaper entries or script or telegraphy but if he had been born just a hundred years later, he would have created his own website; his interests were boundless. This site is for descendants of Dougald Robert Boyle and his wife, Mary Ann Tyrrell Boyle that they may get to know about our Boyle family's life on Isle Madame. If your ancestors are from West Arichat you will find information of interest in the census and other records that are posted on the site. This site is for anyone who happens to find it while surfing the net. Members of the Isle Madame Listserv read the long passages of daily entries that Dougald wrote over 100 years ago in reference to himself, his neighbours and all with whom he came in contact. They tell his version of life on Isle Madame. Thank you for the comments that have enriched the diary entries. More are always welcome!

According to Boyle, chemistry is best done by relying upon repeated experimental evidence rather than the traditional assumption that all matter is composed of some mystical, common elements. As a result of his methodology, he discovered the fundamental relationship between temperature, pressure and volume in gases. Boyle was a founder of the Royal Society, which took as its motto Nullius in Verba , a Latin phrase which means "nothing by mere authority."

    Extractions: Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington *See Chiswick Garden Links Below* Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington, emerged as the leader of the second triumvirate to dominate English architecture in the eighteenth century. Walpole, in his Anecdotes of Painting, described Boyle as "the Apollo of Arts" and Kent as his "proper priest." He was a close friend of Alexander Pope, whose "Epistle to Burlington" acknowledges his great taste in both architecture and landscape design. The Neo-Palladian School dominated by Boyle was guided by three masters: Vitruvius, the Roman architect and military engineer of Augustus' time, was the author of the only ancient treatise on architecture to have survived. Vitruvius laid down proportions and taught correct use of the classical orders. Andrea Palladio (1518-70) of Vincenza studied Vitruvius and existing architecture in Italy and wrote the book which would dominate neoclassical architecture for centuries: I Quattro libri dell'architettura The Four Books of Architecture (1570). Palladio's detailed drawings were directly incorporated into the plans of the Neo-Palladians.

    http://www.woodrow.org/teachers/chemistry/institutes/1992/Boyle.html
    
    Extractions: Among the many contenders for the title of " Father of Modern Chemistry " is Robert Boyle (January 25, 1627 - December 30, 1691). Boyle was the first prominent scientist to perform controlled experiments and to publish his work with elaborate details concerning procedure, apparatus and observations. He assembled what we would today call a "research group", developed a key piece of apparatus - the vacuum pump, was instrumental in founding the Royal Society, and deserves at least partial credit for the famous gas law which bears his name. Boyle was born in Ireland. As the youngest of fourteen children of the wealthiest man in the British Isles, Boyle's opportunities were almost unlimited. However, while still in adolescence, he chose the pseudonym Philaretus (Lover of Truth) and a life of scientific inquiry seemed almost inevitable. He was educated in the finest possible manner of this day, first studying at Eton and later travelling the Continent with a tutor and his older brother Francis. He learned philosophy, religion, languages, mathematics, and - perhaps most significantly - the new physics of Bacon, Descartes, and Galileo. The physical scientists and their new theories concerning air and vacuum, the movement of planets, and the circulation of blood were to sway his thinking much more than the alchemists. Boyle published copiously on topics ranging across several fields of science, philosophy, and theology. His first major scientific report

37. Boyle, Robert (1627-1691) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific Biography
    boyle, robert (16271691), English chemist who, for his combination of iatrochemical and alchemical traditions, is usually considered the father of chemistry.  
    http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Boyle.html
    
    Extractions: English chemist who, for his combination of iatrochemical and alchemical traditions, is usually considered the father of chemistry. He demonstrated that chemistry is worth studying in and of itself, used rigorous experimental and quantitative methods, and gave the first modern definition of a chemical element. Boyle also tried to purify chemicals to obtain reproducible reactions. He was a vocal proponent of the mechanical philosophy proposed by Descartes to explain and quantify the physical properties and interactions of material substances. Nevertheless, he did not believe in the physical reality of atoms. He also performed numerous investigations with an air pump, and noted that the mercury fell as air was pumped out. He also observed that pumping the air out of a container would extinguish a flame and kill small animals placed inside, and well as causing the level of a barometer to drop. He presented Boyle's law which states that pressure varies inversely as volume at constant temperature although he was not the original discoverer. His work
