RARE FIRST EDITION OF ALL TRACTS. For tracts I-XI see Fulton 123 ('This collection of eleven tracts is rare, usually imperfect, and contains two of the most important of Boyle's contributions to physical science'). Tract XI is the first work on electricity in the English language. See Dibner, Heralds of Science, 56: "Because so much electrical development originated in England, the first book on Electricity in any language, and particularly in English, is of importance. This tract appeared with one on Magnetism among a group of 11 tracts in science published in London in 1675. In it Boyle proved that electrical attraction was mutual, and that it was not inhibited by the vacuum of an air-pump jar."
For tracts XII-XV see Fulton 83. These have been published 1671 in Oxford by Ric. Davis as a collection of 6 tracts with an added general title "Tracts" which is not present here. The individual tracts have undated half-titles only. - Visit our website to see more images!
