Some Considerations Touching the Usefulnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy

An important 1663 work by the famous early chemist Robert Boyle, Some Considerations Touching the Usefulnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy is a vital piece of Boyle’s early work in which he attempts to use natural phenomena to argue for the existence and benevolence of God. Boyle was very devout and began his intellectual career as a religious thinker and moralist, attempting to study the natural world with his aim to advance a natural theology. This rare text is a key holding of the Oesper Collections in the History of Chemistry.
