Sobre este artículo
RARE FIRST EDITION of Boyle's treatise on the physical and chemical properties of natural mineral waters. "This is one of Boyle's unfinished 'pieces', put forth with the usual burst of apology on the part of all concerned. It is of special interest because of the insight it gives into the author's methods of work. The tract consists mainly of a series of 'Titles' for a proposed extended treatise on the 'Natural History of Mineral Waters' (pp. 17-31), followed by comments on a few of the titles which he had had time to investigate. On looking into a new subject, Boyle apparently set down methodically the various aspects of the question which he wished to consider, then 'at odd times and on various occasions', expanded his notes. The same method of presentation and exposition is evident in his 'Human Blood ([Fulton] No. 146) and in several of the posthumous publications. Boyle proposed to study all of the physical and chemical properties of the various mineral waters, even including such properties as viscosity. Taste, smell, acidity, &c. were of course considered, and the book ends with a discourse on the 'medicinal virtues' of the various waters. [...] The Bookseller's 'Advertisement' at the end is interesting since it gives prices" (Fulton). References: J.F. Fulton, A bibliography of The Honorable Robert Boyle, 159; Wing B4023; Partington II, 534; not in Duveen. - Visit our website to see more images!
