520			_a"Medical Investigation in Seventeenth Century England" by Charles W. Bodemer and Lester S. King is a historical account produced in the late 20th century, with its foundations stemming from seminars conducted in the late 1960s. This scholarly work delves into the evolution of medical knowledge and practices in 17th-century England, particularly focusing on advancements in embryology and the medical contributions of prominent figures such as Robert Boyle. The book consists of two main sections. The first, authored by Charles W. Bodemer, discusses embryological thought during the period, detailing the significant transition from descriptive to more mechanistic and physiological interpretations of embryology. It highlights key contributors, including Sir Kenelm Digby and Nathaniel Highmore, and their shifting views on generation. The second section examines Robert Boyle's role as an amateur physician; despite lacking formal medical training, Boyle influenced medical theory and practice through his chemical experiments and clinical observations. The authors argue for Boyle's critical stance against established medical doctrines of the time, showcasing how his empirical approach foreshadowed the evolution of modern medical science.
