Add to the list of "Boyle's work published online" a link to the "Some Considerations touching the usefulnesses of experimental...," which was recently published on Internet Archive by the University of Notre Dame Hesburgh Libraries.

Not done for now: The editor needs to use their own account to propose this change and not one which appears to be affiliated with the university. Please see WP:CHU for more information. Spintendo 16:08, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
"Chevalier"
Is this supposed to indicate that Boyle was a Cavalier (i.e. as opposed to a Roundhead), an adherent of Charles I? From the context it appears so. I couldn't find any other references to this in relation to Boyle. Since, as I say, it does appear to relate to the Cavaliers, why is it given in the French form here? No source is cited so checking isn't possible either. To be honest, that entire paragraph is written slightly oddly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.78.132 (talk) 00:01, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your attention. Despite its presence unmodified in the article for 14 years, this passage is of extremely dubious provenance, added by a disreputable IP editor, and so I have removed it for lack of a reliable secondary source, with no prejudice to re-adding if such a source is turned up.

Robert Hooke should be added as one of those influenced by Boyle. TheLittleTramp (talk) 15:32, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Add the following source to the list of Further Reading:
- Bulleted list item
Banchetti-Robino, Marina Paola, The Chemical Philosophy of Robert Boyle: Mechanicism, Chymical Atoms, and Emergence, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020. ISBN 978-0-197-50250-1 MPBanchetti (talk) 19:50, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Not done: We shouldn't link a book for further reading if it hasn't yet been published; and even if it is from OUP, I'd like to wait for some form of review about this book to ascertain how useful it is. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- The book by Banchetti-Robino has now been published (by OUP in 2020) and widely reviewed by top scholars for top journals in the field (for example, by Alan Chalmers for 'Foundations of Chemistry', by L.S. Keating for the 'Journal of the History of Philosophy', by Antonio Clericuzio for 'Ambix', by William Eaton for 'History of Philosophy of Science', and Ashley Inglehart for 'Isis'). It is now regarded as the definitive study of Robert Boyle's chemical philosophy and 'Studies for the History and Philosophy of Science' is currently devoting a book forum to this book. MPBanchetti (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Could you provide links to those reviews? Actualcpscm (talk) 10:16, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Anglo-Irish
- Again - Northern Ireland has zero relevency here as it did not exist for over 200 years after Boyle's death, and whether or not some people find "Anglo-Irish" offensive is neither here nor there. George Stoney was born 200 years after Boyle and wasn't part of a family that had just (same generation 'just') colonised Ireland to keep the native Catholic Irish under their boots. Stop ignoring the facts here - including that of Boyle being an English subject, born to an English father and a Anglo-Irish mother. Your chemestry teacher did not "insult" anyone or anything and your anger is utterly misplaced. You are simply reashing the same arguments to no effect, and I am done here. Go do something more productive as I will no longer be responding. . --SinoDevonian (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
