"The availability of a paperback version of Boyle's philosophical
writings selected by M. A. Stewart will be a real service to
teachers, students, and scholars with seventeenth-century
interests. The editor has shown excellent judgment in bringing
together many of the most important works and printing them, for
the most part, in unabridged form. The texts have been edited
responsibly with emphasis on readability. . . . Of special interest
in connection with Locke and with the reception of Descarte's
Corpuscularianism, to students of the Scientific Revolution and of
the history of mechanical philosophy, and to those interested in
the relations among science, philosophy, and religion. In fact,
given the imperfections in and unavailability of the
eighteenth-century editions of Boyle's works, this collection will
benefit a wide variety of seventeenth-century scholars." --Gary
