Robert Boyle Reconsidered . Edited by Michael Hunter. Cambridge University Press, 1994. Pp. xviii + 231, £30.00. ISBN 0-521-44205-2 The 300th anniversary of the death of Robert Boyle (1627-91) was commemorated by a select group of Boyle scholars in a symposium convened 14-16 December 1991 at the Horsington House Hotel, Somerset, during the course of what appears to have been a traditional Irish wake, ‘where participants were lavishly provided for through the generosity of the Foundation for Intellectual History’ (p. xvii). Twelve of the contributions presented at the symposium are published in Robert Boyle Reconsidered , and another contribution, ‘Who was Robert Boyle? The creation and presentation of an experimental self’ by Steven Shapin, appears as a chapter in his new book, A Social History of Truth: Gentility, Credibility, and Scientific Knowledge in Seventeenth Century England (University of Chicago Press, 1994).
