Abstract
ON returning to this country about the middle of 1644 after his travels on the continent, Robert Boyle found a national state of affairs which divided families as well as the country on account of the Civil War. He was fortunate in being able without undue difficulty to find his sister Katherine, Viscountess Ranelagh, who together with other members of the Boyle family had influential relationships with the parliamentarian party (1). These relationships undoubtedly set the conditions and atmosphere which influenced the work of Robert Boyle in what may be called his Stalbridge period 1645- 1655, during which his writings, unpublished at the time, were mainly theological and moralistic in tenor (see page 106).
