Chapter XVII: The House in Pall Mall (2)

[151] After lying many years in manuscript they were published at her entreaty—dedicated to her—after the Restoration.

[152] _Occasional Reflections_, ed. 1665, pp. 245, 161.

[153] _Ibid._ p. 256: _Upon my Spaniel’s fetching me my glove_.

[154] Written after 1648.

[155] See p. 194. Lindamor, the scholarly youth, well born and well bred, seems often in his writings to represent Boyle himself. The direct reference to “Mr. Boyle” is a favourite device of the author. Swift has satirised the _Reflections_ in his “Occasional Meditations on a Broomstick,” but he has not acknowledged “The Eating of Oysters” as the inspiration of his _Gulliver’s Travels_.

[156] For historical accounts see Masson’s _Milton_, vol. iii, and Bagwell’s _Ireland under the Stuarts_, vol. ii.

[157] It was Anne Murray, the girl-friend of “My Robyn’s yonge Mrs.,” who was entrusted with the dressing-up of the young Prince. See _Diary_ of Anne, Lady Halkett (Camden Society) for pretty description of the dressing-up, and the “Wood Street cake” given to the boy at parting.

[158] Robert Boyle’s letter to Mrs. Hussey: Birch’s _Life_.

[159] Letter to Mrs. Hussey.

[160] Sentiment.

[161] _Vide_ Robert Boyle’s _Reflections_ written in that month: “Upon the prodigiously wet weather which happened the summer that Colchester was besieged (1648).”

[162] _Ibid._

[163] The family seem to have had their town house in Soho, and were “distinguished parishioners” of St. Giles in the Fields (see Cunningham’s _London_). The Earl, when he died in 1661, left property in Long Acre and St. Martin’s Lane, etc.

[164] He died of smallpox, 1649, and was buried in the Savoy.

[165] Afterwards Earl of Clanbrassil.

[166] Evelyn’s letter to Dr. Wotton about Robert Boyle.

[167] Masson’s _Milton_, vol. iii.

[168] Letter to Lady Ranelagh, August 1649: Birch’s Ed. of _Works_, vol. vi.

[169] Compare Budgell’s and Morrice’s accounts.

[170] Bagwell’s _Ireland under the Stuarts_.

[171] Robert Boyle’s letter: Birch’s Ed. _Works_, vol. vi.

[172] Birch’s Ed. _Works_, vol. vi.

[173] This wife died young. The second wife was a daughter of Henry Lawrence, presumably a sister of young Barrymore’s friend and fellow-pupil at Milton’s house in the Barbican.

[174] Broghill’s letter to Lenthall, quoted by Bagwell. For the whole account of Broghill’s part in the war, see Bagwell’s _Ireland under the Stuarts_.

[175] Charles II was then at Breda, and so were the Scottish Commissioners. Montrose was executed in Edinburgh on May 21st, 1650, and the Treaty of Breda had been signed on May 3rd, pledging Charles to uphold the Covenant; but at this very time he was still using the Service Book, and Breda itself was the gay scene of nightly “balling and dancing.”

[176] Cary.

[177] _Philaretus._

[178] The heroine of _Seraphick Love_.

[179] Robert Boyle’s brother Francis was his heir presumptive.

[180] This may have been young Lord Barrymore’s second wife, daughter of Henry Lawrence.

[181] _Philaretus._

[182] Colonel Lawrence’s account, quoted by Bagwell.

[183] Chalked up on the door of the House of Commons.

[184] Bagwell.

[185] _Some Worthies of the Irish Churches_, by G. T. Stokes, D.D., ed. by Dr. Lawlor, p. 74.

[186] Birch’s _Life_.

[187] Letter from Hartlib to Boyle; Birch’s ed. _Works_, vol. vi.

[188] The _Encænia_.

[189] The _Sheldonian_ was not then in existence.

[190] Kendal.

[191] Afterwards Bishop of Lincoln.

[192] Cp. Evelyn’s _Diary_, August 6, 1657: “I went to see Col. Blount, who shewed me the application of a _way-wiser_ to a coach, exactly measuring the miles and shewing them by an index as we went on ... very pretty and useful.”

[193] Birch’s _Life_. Lady Ranelagh’s letter is dated merely “Oct. 12.” It must have been written in October 1653, after Boyle was back in Ireland, or so late as 1654, before Boyle left Ireland for good.

[194] Birch’s _Life_.

[195] Evelyn’s letter to Dr. Wotton, 1703.

[196] Birch’s _Life_.

[197] Boyle’s _Occasional Reflections_ were not published till 1665, but it is probable they were well known in manuscript.

[198] Bishop of Lincoln, after the Restoration.

[199] Robert Boyle to Lord Broghill: Birch’s _Life_; afterwards used as _Epistle Dedicatory to the Considerations on the Style of the Scriptures_.

[200] Birch’s _Life_.

[201] Of Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight.

[202] Boyle’s Law, confirmed by Mariotte in 1676: “The volume of any given sample of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure.”

[203] Hooke’s Law, 1676: _Ut tensio, sic vis_; “Strain is proportional to stress.”

[204] Published Oxford, 1660.

[205] Birch’s _Life_.

[206] Attacked by Hobbes and Franciscus Linus; 2nd ed. London, 1662; 3rd ed. London, 1682.

[207]

Oh Morning Star! give back the Day;
Why dost thou delay our joys?
Oh Morning Star! give back the Day!

[208] _An Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language_, published in folio, 1668. (The MS. was lost in the Fire of London.)

[209] Birch’s ed. _Works_.

[210] Boyle’s Law is not _strictly_ applicable, if all modern refinements of experiment are used, to any gases except an “ideal” gas; but for all practical purposes it is exact, because the corrections to it are only minute additions, and not alterations.

[211] Professor Sir William Ramsay, K.C.B., F.R.S., etc., in his _Presidential Address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science_, Portsmouth, 1911.

[217] Richard Jones was not at any college.

[218] Peter du Moulin, Royalist and Episcopalian, had been private tutor to the second Earl of Cork’s family in Ireland. He translated the _Devil of Mascon_, a French story of authenticated spirit-rapping, published in 1658, with an introductory letter by Robert Boyle, to whom it was dedicated; and in 1670 du Moulin dedicated a volume of Latin poems to Boyle. He was the author of the _Regii Sanguinis Clamor_. His brother, on the other hand—Lewis du Moulin, Doctor of Physic—was a Parliamentarian and Independent, and, after the Visitation, was Camden Professor of History at Oxford.

[219] Name given by Boyle to that “hopeful young gentleman,” Mr. Richard Jones, to whom Boyle addressed his _Physiological Essays_, etc.

[220] Passport granted in September 1656. See Masson’s _Milton_, vol. v. Her eldest daughter, Catherine, was possibly then already married and already in Ireland. She married (1) Sir William Parsons, (2) Lord Mount-Alexander. The two other daughters, Elizabeth and Frances, were with their mother (see later).

[221] Milton’s letters to Mr. Richard Jones. See Masson’s _Milton_, vol. v.

[222] Evelyn’s letter to Wotton, 1703.

[223] Mrs. Evelyn was the daughter of Sir Richard Browne, English Ambassador at Paris, where Evelyn married her.

[224] See later. Evelyn’s _Diary_ and letters.

[234] He was one of the chief of the “Dynastic” or “Court” Cromwellians, in opposition to the “Army” Cromwellians.

[235] Morrice; but Pepys mentions “Mr. Boyle” receiving a passport on April 11, and on board Montagu’s ship, where he was treated as “a person of honour,” on April 20.

[236] Evelyn.

[237] See Pepys’s graphic account of the crossing of Charles II from The Hague, and Evelyn’s account of his reception in London.

[239] _Discourses Useful for the Vain Modish Ladies and their Gallants._ 1696.

[244] “Lyttle Francke” _m._ (1) Colonel Courtenay, and (2) Wentworth Dillon, Earl of Roscommon. There were several daughters, and it was the fourth daughter who married Lord Hinchinbroke. The fifth daughter married Laurence Hyde, son of the Earl of Clarendon; and the third daughter became Lady Thanet, the “virtuosa,” who used to speak much of her uncle Robert Boyle, _vide_ Evelyn’s letter to Wotton.

[245] _Diary_, 1668.

[246] _Philaretus._

[247] Letter to Hooke in 1680, when Boyle declined to be President of the Royal Society (see later).

[248] _Diary_, November 26, 1661.

[249] “Ianthe” was the name given to Mrs. Mary Saunderson, after her part in Davenant’s _Siege of Rhodes_. She married Betterton and lived till 1712, having in her time played almost all Shakespeare’s great female characters—“Nell” is, of course, Nell Gwynne.

[250] September 7, 1660 (two days after Broghill had been created Earl of Orrery).

[251] March 9, 1661 (five weeks after the bodies of Cromwell, Ireton, and Bradshaw had been exhumed and hanged at Tyburn).

[252] Robert Boyle’s nephew, young Lord Barrymore, had lost his first wife, Susan Killigrew, and married again in 1656, “Martha, daughter of Henry Lawrence, Esq.,” presumably a daughter of the President and sister of his friend and fellow-pupil in the Barbican.

[262] The old brick-and-timber house with its piazzas and “green court,” called after the founder, Sir Thomas Gresham, whose dwelling-house it was (1597).
