= **Boyle's Work** =



Robert Boyle built off of the principals which Francis Bacon preached. He studied alchemy, believing that the changing of metals was possible. He even fought for a repeal of Henry IV's statute against multiplying gold and silver in 1689. Boyle studied areas in physics such as sound, the expansive forces of freezing water, gravity and refractive powers, crystals, electricity, color, and hydrostatics, but chemistry was his preferred study. He made great progress in his technique of analysis, or finding the ingredients of a substance. Boyle was also very Christian, and promoted the spread of Christianity in the East. He even defended the Christian religion in the well-known "Boyle Lectures."
