**__Early Life__  ·  His father was Richard Boyle **(the Earl of Cork)  ·  Richard Boyle was in his 60s and Catherine Boyle in her 40s when Robert was born. - At the age of 12 Boyle was sent by his father, with one of his brothers, on a European tour.

In His Religious views Robert was tolerant of the religious views of others and in later years became particularly sympathetic to the Dissenters, who opposed fusion of the Church and state in England. He also wrote widely on religious themes and gave financial support to his friend Edward Pococke to translate the New Testament into Malayan.

In his Adult Life Boyle spent the years of the English Civil Wars at Oxford, reading and experimenting with his assistants and colleagues. He and his peers were committed to the New Philosophy, which valued: Observation, and to experiment as much as, logical thinking when formulating an accurate scientific understanding At the time of the restoration of the British monarchy in 1660,   Boyle played a key role in founding the Royal Society to nurture this new view of science, this is also when he published his first scientific work, called: //New Experiments Physico-Mechanicall, Touching the Spring of the Air and Its Effects//, which the nature of air and also vacuums. o  A second edition of this work, **published in 1662 ·  This later came to be known as **"Boyle's law"**: __that the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure.__** __Achievements And Beliefs__ Robert, discovered inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of gas, defined a chemical element, and was the first to use of the term "chemical analysis" which is used it in the same sense today. In addition to this He also wrote extensively on natural theology, and was a advocate for the notion that God created the universe according to definite laws. ** __ Inspirations __**  ·  1642 when boyle was in Florence.

He was buried in the Church of Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields next to his sister. Later the church was demolished and no record was made as to where his remains were moved. But his legacy lives on to pronounce Robert Boyle as “the father of modern chemistry.
