All entries in C are 29 1/8

Titles of each column

A - The number of equal spaces in the shorter leg, that contained the same parcal of air diversely extended.

B - The height of the mercurial cylinder in the longer leg, that compressed the air into those dimensions.

C - The height of the mercurial cylinder that counter-balanced the pressure of the atmosphere.

D - The Aggregate of the last columns B and C, exhibiting the pressure sustained by the included air.

E - What that pressure should be according to the hypothesis, that supposes the pressures and expansions to be in reciprocal proportions.

There are (at least) two websites that provide Boyle's original measurements. 1 and 2, data are taken from [1]
