Robert Boyle: By Himself and His Friends With a Fragment of William Wotton''s ''Lost Life of Boyle''

The image of Robert Boyle owes much to a series of evaluations of him written shortly after his death by men who had known him well, such as John Evelyn, Gilbert Burnet and Sir Peter Pett. This book includes a selection of these previously unpublished texts.
