FIRST EDITION by the founder of modern chemical science and published posthumously the year after Boyle's death. He was a close friend of John Locke. John Locke, who was one of Boyle's literary executors, arranged for the publication and saw the book through the press. It contains some of John Locke's weather records and the 'Advertsisement to the Reader' on pp.iii-vis by Locke. During his stay in Oxford Locke had kept a journal of the air from June 24th 1666 to June 30th 1683. This journal was transmitted to Boyle and was included in the General History and is found on pp.104-132 A Register kept by Mr Locke in Oxford as well as London between December 1669 to June 1665. It is a Baconian style natural history, a collection of observations and testimonies on the nature of the air. It reflects Boyle's interest in the relation between the air and epidemics. The manuscript of the book survives amongst Locke's papers in the Lovelace Collection in the Bodleian Library.
