The sceptical chymist or, Chymico-physical doubts & paradoxes
39. First Modern Chemist
Fewer than 35 copies of this first edition of Boyle's masterpiece are known
to exist. Written in the form of a dialogue, Boyle presented a new concept of
matter that severley criticized the old Aristotelian theories. He believed
that every phenomenon is due to collisions of atoms or groups of atoms.
