Description
An account of the resource
Images of textual elements from "Some Considerations Touching the Usefullnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy."
The first image shows a citation/footnote in the margin (which will be expanded on in the Citations section after the essay). Interestingly, the citation is a bible verse from Proverbs 13:19-20, perhaps unexpected in a natural science work such. The stylistic text use of "f" (or the "long s") instead of "s" is also visible on this page.
The second image shows a catchphrase word "Sea" at the lower corner of the page. Catchphrases are used throughout the book to show the reader the general subject matter of that particular page. They serve as an aid to both binding and reading.
The third image shows the gathering folio number of the particular page, "F2." For books of this era, folios were commonly used instead of single page numbers. However, in Boyle's work, there are page numbers on a majority of the pages, and only two bi-folios.

This copy of "Some Considerations Touching the Usefullnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy" was formerly owned by the Tufts Medical and Dental Library in the Department of Anatomy.
In the first image, there are some pencil markings, one of which appears to say "I'm not ignorant" in pencil script. This handwriting may match the manicules present throughout the book (scratchy writing, light pencil).

Description
An account of the resource
Here is a basic chronological layout of each section of "Some Considerations Touching the Usefullnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy."
1) The chapter (essay) of the book discussing a specific topic
2) "Citations" section -- what we would call footnotes; expanding on the citations seen in the margins of the essay
3) "Errata" -- small corrections, mostly to the structure of the section; placed directly after the main content of the essay because reprinting was costly, and errors were noted after the printing of the essay
4) "Index" -- a page-by-page chapter summary of the essay
