The physician and experimenter Henry Power, a Royal Society’s Fellow, studied in Cambridge. He discovered the law of gasses (later known as Boyle’s Law). The hypothesis was published in Experimental Philosophy, but Robert Boyle's annoucement preceded the work by one year. See: Webster, 1967; ODNB; DBP, pp. 667–70.
