BOULTON JOHN HOSKYNS V. P. R. S. Vicesimo Septimo Martii 1699 THE WORKS OF THE HONOURABLE Robert Boyle Esq EPITOMIZ'D VOL. II. BY RICHARD BOVLTON of Brazen-Nose College in Oxford Illustrated with COPPER PLATES LONDON Printed for J. Phillips at the King 's Arms and J. Taylor at the Ship in St. Paul's Church-Yard MDCC To His Excellency The Most Illustrious PRINCE CHARLES Duke of BOLTON Marquiss of Winchester Earl of Wiltshire and Baron St. John of Basing the Premier Marquiss of England one of the Lords Justices of the Kingdom of Ireland Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum for the Countys of Dorset and Southampton the Town of Southampton and County of the same Vice-Admiral of Southampton and the Isle of Wight Lord Warden of the New Forest in Hantshire and one of the Lords of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy-Council May it please Your Excellency SInce nothing contributes more to the Advancement of Natural Knowledge than the Encouragement of great and eminent Persons not only Custom but Interest hath generally inclined those who employ their time in the pursuit of it to shelter the Fruits of their Labours under the Protection of noble Patrons For as there can be no greater Motives to Virtue and Morality than the Favour of an Omnipotent Power so in the Affairs of this World we are most inclin'd to pursue whatever may deserve the Esteem of great Men or lead us into their Favour And if the Tree of Knowledge flourishes most under the favourable Patronage of Princes the Interest of Learning will at the same time be a good Plea to extenuate my Presumption and a great Argument why I should lay this at your Excellency's Feet For Illustrious SIR whilst amongst the happy Number of His Majestys Favourites we behold Your Excellency dignified with Titles of Honour at the same time we are surprized to see that no Titles can be so great but Your Excellency's Character adds a Lustre to and increases the Dignity of them A character which could I convey it down to future Ages I must be able to represent in the most lively Colours All the Virtues of a good and pious Christian the meek and liberal Temper of a Puissant and Noble Prince the Wisdom of a Counsellour and the Qualifications of one to whose Judgment and Sagacity the Administration of the Government of a Kingdom hath been in a great measure committed by the most Judicious and Sagacious of Kings But Illustrious SIR since the draught of so Noble a Character as Your Excellency's is too hard a Task for a Pen better qualified than mine I have sufficient reason to decline it and shall rather reflect on the Happiness of this Kingdom whilst so Great a King hath made choice of so Wise a Counsellor and the great Felicity of the Commonwealth of Learning whilst under the Patronage of so Illustrious a Prince as the Duke of BOLTON and particularly on my own Happiness under Your Excellency's Protection which is the more augmented by this opportunity of professing my self Most Illustrious SIR Your Excellency's Most Humble and Devoted Servant Richard Boulton THE PREFACE TO THE READER THE candid Acceptance of the former Volume and the favourable Approbation of the Learned having given the Booksellers sufficient Encouragement to proceed in Printing the two subsequent Volumes there is no need that I should on their part enlarge on the Subject of the Preface annexed to the first Volume to shew the Usefulness of the Design since the general Consent of the Learned hath already put that beyond Doubt Therefore having laid down the Reasons why I proceeded in such a Method as I have placed the Subjects in in the first Volume in the latter end of that Preface I shall without encreasing the bulk of this Volume with a long Preface briefly subjoyn the Rationale of this And First The first Volume ending with an Epitomy of the Honourable Author's first Continuation of Physico-Mechanical Experiments I have begun this with some Experiments belonging to that first Continuation and to them I have subjoyn'd his second Continuation to which by reason of some affinity betwixt particular Experiments that Treatise and another delivered in another Tract I have added a Chapter of Observations on Animals included in Vacuo and another relating to the same Subject out of the Philosophical Transactions And because these Observations engage our Thoughts in several things relating to the precedent Phaenomena of the Vacuum Boylianum and may remind us of what he bath delivered of the Spring and Weight of the Air I have in the next place laid down his Animadversions on Mr. Hobbes Problemata de Vacuo his Discourse of Attraction by Suction and what he hath deliver'd concerning the Barometer in the Philosophical Transactions And forasmuch as in all his Physico-Mechanical and other Experiments already deliver'd and tryed in Vacuo Boyliano we have several instances of the Rarefaction and Condensation of the Air c. hopeing it would help some to a seasonable Reflection on what was before delivered I have added what he hath taught concerning the admirable Rarefaction of the Air and the Duration of its Spring as also concerning its Condensation and admirable different Extension when rarified and compressed And since these Subjects renew our Considerations concerning the Spring of the Air I have added further a Chapter of the Weakened Spring of the Air out of the Philosophical Transactions And because the Spring and weight of the Air and their Effects are not the only Qualities and Considerations to be taken notice of in the Atmosphere from those I proceed to deliver what he hath Taught concerning Hygroscopes and their Utilities as also what he hath writ of the Efficacy of the Airs Moisture And because there are several Qualities in the Air which not only affect our outward Senses but have a manifest Influence on the Mass of Humours which circulate in our Bodies and on whose Tempers the Preservation or Distempers of a human Body depends I have added what he hath deliver'd concerning the Salubrity and Insalubrity of the Air whose variations in Temperature alter the Constitution of the Humors of our Bodies And since we are not only affected by manifest Qualities of the Air but also by occult ones I have laid down what our Author hath said on that Subject and since Magnetical and Electrical Qualities are generally accounted Occult ones I have added his Tracts on those Subjects And to conclude the Third Book I have added his General History of the Air which I have therefore placed the last relating to that Element because it consists of several Fragments which belong to several of the preceding Subjects or bear a relation to some others which follow concerning Colours Tasts and Odours And having thus ended the Third Book the Fourth contains those Subjects which have a more immediate Relation to the Outward Senses and are considered as their Objects which I therefore for distinction sake place together Of which what our Author
