Second edition, very scarce. The first edition, published the year before, is known in less than half a dozen copies. An English translation also appeared in 1671. 'This, the briefest of Boyle's separately published works, contains a series of observations upon the influence of temperature and pressure on the size of air bubbles in water. After arriving at the law of pressures Boyle was quick to appreciate that temperature influenced the state of expansion of a gas. The observations recorded in the present tract were carried out in the year 1662. His deductions are ingenious, and they represent an important step toward the further elucidation of the gas laws' (Fulton). II. First Latin edition; first published in English earlier the same year. This is the issue with the added essay 'De absoluta quiete in corporibus', first published in English ('Absolute rest in bodies') in the second edition of Certain physiological essays (1669). 'In the first tract of the present collection a sequel to Formes and Qualities Boyle deals with possible objections to his doctrine concerning the nature of matter . The view set forth in this essay is .considerably in advance of that elucidated in the Sceptical Chymist or in 'Formes and Qualities' and it may well be looked upon as one of the important milestones in the history of the theories of chemical combination. The tract incidentally contains further observations on the change of colour of vegetable extracts when their reaction is changed from acid to alkali' (Fulton). I. Fulton 91A (the variant without the line 'Juxta Exemplar impressum' in the title); USTC 3089576; Wing B4052. The Cambridge University Library online catalogue plausibly postulates 'Imprint false?
