The work draws parallels between natural phenomena (e.g., the slaking of quicklime) and his spiritual philosophy. His observations often developed into meditations with a moral message. The work displays Boyle's wide-ranging interests, with topics including angling, glowworms, meteorology, horses, apples, syrups, the singing of larks, candles and lanterns, and astronomy.
