To celebrate 350 years of scientific publishing, we are inviting our readers to tell us about their favourite papers from the Royal Society archive. Today Michael Hunter, Emeritus Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London tells us about a very strange paper from the archive.
"I have chosen what must be one of the strangest papers ever to appear in Philosophical Transactions. It is an alchemical text by Robert Boyle, published in 1676 under the rather transparent pseudonym ‘B.R.’"
