The volumes are clean, crisp and largley unmarked. Vol II contains a dedication to the Earl of Orrery, a patron of the sciences. *Boyle is largely regarded today as the founder of modern chemistry, and a pioneer of the experimental scientific method. A 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 the way of science and he was not fond of hypothesis until proof was found.

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. 1 volume.…
