As 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 his way of studying science and he was not one to build hypotheses until proof was obtained. This collection of the many papers and experiments he wrote up are here brought up to date with later findings to produce the best and most complete compilation of his work. 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. 3 volumes.
