#' Robert Boyle's pressure vs volume measurements
#'
#' Pressure versus volume of air at a constant temperature as collected by Robert Boyle. Units are arbitrary.
#' 
#' @details Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was a founder of modern chemistry 
#' and the scientific method in general. As any chemistry student already knows, 
#' Boyle sought to understand the properties of gasses. 
#' His results are summarized in *Boyle's Law*.
#' The data frame `Boyle` contains two variables from one of Boyle's 
#' experiments as reported in his lab notebook: pressure in a bag of 
#' air and volume of the bag. The units of pressure are mmHg and the units of 
#' volume are cubic inches.
#' 
#' @format A data frame with 7 rows and numerical variables `pressure` and `volume`.
#' 
#' @source Boyle's notebooks are preserved at the Royal Society in London. The data in the `Boyle` data frame have been copied from `https://chem.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD_Chem_002A/UCD_Chem_2A/Text/Unit_III%3A_Physical_Properties_of_Gases/06.03_Relationships_among_Pressure%2C_Temperature%2C_Volume%2C_and_Amount`
