Extractions: Main Page The Honourable '''Robert Boyle''' ( January 25 December 30 ) was an Irish natural philosopher , noted for his work in physics and chemistry . Although his research and personal philosophy clearly has its roots in the alchemical tradition, he is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist and among his works ''The Sceptical Chemist'' is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry. He was born at Lismore Castle , in the province of Munster Ireland , as the seventh son and fourteenth child of Richard Boyle , the "Great Earl of Cork ". While still a child he learned to speak Latin and French , and he was only eight years old when he was sent to Eton College , of which his father's friend, Sir Henry Wotton , was then provost. After spending over three years at the college, he went to travel abroad with a French tutor. Nearly two years were passed in Geneva ; visiting Italy in 1641, he remained during the winter of that year in Florence , studying the "paradoxes of the great star-gazer" Galileo Galilei , who died within a league (3 miles) of the city early in Returning to England in he found that his father was dead and had left him the manor of Stalbridge in Dorset , together with estates in Ireland . From that time he gave up his life to study and scientific research, and soon took a prominent place in the band of inquirers, known as the "

Robert Boyle, an Irishborn English scientist, was an early proponent of thescientific method and a founder of modern chemistry.
http://www.newlisbon.k12.wi.us/physicists/boyle.html

Extractions: Robert Boyle, an Irish-born English scientist, was an early proponent of the scientific method and a founder of modern chemistry. After his education in Geneva, Switzerland, Boyle settled in England and devoted himself to scientific research. He strongly beleived in "the necessitity of objective observation and verifiable laboratory experiments" in science, which is why he is known as a founder of the modern scientific method. Boyle was also the first chemist to isolate and collect a gas. Through his studies, he formulated a law of physics which states that if temperature is held constant, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume (Boyle's Law). In the field of chemistry, Boyle observed that air is absorbed in the process of combustion and that metals gain weight when they oxidize. He also recognized the difference between a compound and a mixture and formulated his atomic theory of matter on the basis of his laboratory experiments. In The Sceptical Chemist (1661), Boyle attacked Aristotle's theory that four elements-earth, air, fire, and water-compose all matter. Boyle's theory was that tiny particles of primary matter combine in various ways to form what he called corpuscles, and that all observable reactions resulted from the motion and structure of the corpuscles.

Entry from the Stanford Encyclopedia by J. J. McIntosh, University of Calgary.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/boyle/

Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free exactly Boyle was a corpuscularian, a term he employed to paper over the differences between believers in a vacuum, and believers in a plenum, given that both of them agreed that the explanation of natural occurrences should be solely in terms of particles of matter, their motion and interaction. Boyle consistently refused to pronounce on the question of whether these minima naturalia should be considered atoms , in the strict sense of that term, or not. Even a metaphysical non-corpuscularian such as Leibniz agreed with Boyle in practical terms. "However much I agree with the Scholastics in this general and, so to speak, metaphysical explanation of the principles of bodies," he wrote to Arnauld in July 1686, "I am as corpuscular as one can be in the explanation of particular phenomena, and it is saying nothing to allege that they have forms or qualities" (Gerhardt 1875, 2:58, trans. Mason 1967). Boyle's scientific range was wide. Besides his well known work in mechanics, medicine, hydrodynamics and a wide variety of experiments with his vacuum pump, he was interested both theoretically and practically in alchemy (see Principe 1998), where his interest seems to have been fueled more by his constant desire to acquire knowledge of God and the world than by any desire for riches. He "cultivated Chymistry with a disinterested mind," seeking the improvement of his own knowledge, "
Robert Boyle's Account Of A Degredation Of Gold
Electronic version of robert boyle's alchemical work of 1678.
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: 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

Extractions: Hooke as his assistant There he did most of his experimental work until 1668 when he went to live in London with his sister Lady Ranelagh. He was made an honorary Doctor of Medicine of Oxford in 1688. He was offered the provostship of Eton and the presidency of the Royal Society, both of which he refused, the first because he refused to take holy orders, the second because he would not take the required oath. In his autobiographical account ( Works , vol. 1, pp. xxixxvi) he reflects on his noble birth that being born heir to a great family is but a glittering kind of slavery and is ever an impediment to the knowledge of many retired truths, that cannot be attained without familiarity with meaner persons. He indeed developed a keen interest in the work of artisans because they tend to know more than anyone else about the materials of their trades. He makes a general remark about religious beliefs that though we cannot always give a reason for what we believe, we should ever be able to give a reason why we believe it, which is surely a precept that guided his attitude to natural philosophy as well.

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

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.

Boyle attended school and received a conventional gentleman's education. Boyle was a founder and influential fellow of the Royal Society, was continuously active in scientific affairs, and wrote prolifically on science, philosophy, and theology. One of Boyle's first publications was on the physical properties of air, from which he derived his law that the volume of a given gas varies inversely as the pressure of that gas. Boyle proved this through experimentation. Because of this he was convinced that experimentation was an essential part of scientific proof. Team # 12596 [ Main ] [ Sections ]

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Boyle, Robert (1627-1691), English natural philosopher and one of the founders of modern chemistry. Boyle is best remembered for Boyle's law, a physical law that explains how the pressure and volume of a gas are related. He was instrumental in the founding of the Royal Society, a British organization dedicated to the advancement of the sciences. Boyle was also a pioneer in the use of experiments and the scientific method to test his theories. BOYLE'S LIFE Boyle was born in Lismore Castle in Lismore, Ireland. His father was Richard Boyle, who was the first earl of Cork. Robert learned to speak French and Latin as a child and went to Eton College in England at the early age of eight. BOYLE'S WORK Boyle carried out his most active research while he lived in Oxford. Much of his research dealt with the behavior of gases, including the earth's atmosphere. By careful experiments, he established Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that the volume of a given amount of gas varies inversely with its pressure, if temperature is constant. This means that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas will increase as the volume of the gas is decreased, and vice versa. Boyle determined the density of air in the earth's atmosphere and pointed out that the weight of objects varies with changes in atmospheric pressure. He compared the lower layers of the earth's atmosphere to a number of sponges or small springs that the weight of the layers above compresses. In 1660 Boyle published these findings in a book entitled
