The papers letters and ancillary manuscripts of the influential scientist Robert Boyle (1627-91) have been at the Royal Society since 1769-a catalogue of them first published in 1992. This volume presents that catalogue in completely revised form updated to do justice to the extensive use made of the archive in the definitive editions of Boyle's Works and Correspondence published between 1999 and 2001. The book also includes studies of the history of the archive and its components in which significant conclusions are drawn about the development of Boyle's ideas. This book will be indispensable to anyone with a serious interest in Boyle.
