Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work New Experiments and Observations Touching Cold (1683); the 1st edition (London: […] John Crook, […], 1665; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
*Advertisement	An Advertisement (appears after page 266)
*Advertisement to the Readers	An Advertisement to the Readers of the Following Experiments, by the Author of the Foregoing History (appears after page 324)
Appendix	An Appendix Containing Some Promiscuous Experiments & Observations Relating to the Precedent History of Cold
*Catalogue	A Catalogue of All the Philosophical Works Published by Our Author (appears after "An Advertisement")
Freezing	An Account of Freezing Made in December and January, 1662 (by Christopher Merret)
*Preface	The Authors Preface
*The Publisher to the Ingenious Reader	The Publisher to the Ingenious Reader
*The Publisher to the Reader	The Publisher to the Reader

As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example:

• If the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=2p1kAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7, specify |page=7.
• If the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=2p1kAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA266-IA1, specify |page=1.
• If the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=2p1kAAAAcAAJ&pg=RA1-PP2, specify |page=2.

• |section= – the name of a section quoted from, if a chapter is subdivided into sections.
• |para= or |paragraph= – the paragraph number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. (The page numbers restart from 1 in "An Account of Freezing Made in December and January, 1662" and "An Appendix Containing Some Promiscuous Experiments & Observations Relating to the Precedent History of Cold".) If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
