Broad, humanistic treatment concentrates on the great figures of chemistry and the ideas that revolutionized the science, from earliest history to the modern era. Much of the book is devoted to alchemy, but also the development of modern chemistry: atomic theory, nature of the elements, beginning of organic chemistry, much more. Broad in scope, erudite yet very readable, with few chemical equations or formulae.

Whoever wishes to possess this secret Golden Fleece, which has virtue to transmute metals into gold, should know that our Stone is nothing but gold digested to the highest degree of purity and subtle fixation to which it can be brought by Nature and the highest effort of Art; and this gold thus perfected is called "our gold," no longer vulgar, and is the ultimate goal of Nature.

QiCAL work in English by a Chinese author is unusual; but long residence in America, and in England and other parts of Europe, and much study of English literature, have familiarised me with the language, and have encouraged me to make it the medium for presenting my work to the English-speaking public; and I desire to express my thanks to Messrs Charles Grifhn k Co. for the opportunity they have afforded me of doing so. My researches concerning Antimony have extended over several years, and I would express my thanks to Professor Kemp, of Columbia University, for his valuable guidance. References to Antimony are scattered through the technical literature of many languages, and the subject is dealt with in general treatises on metallurgy. There does not, however, appear to be any English text-book devoted to its special consideration, and foreign works on this subject are not readily accessible to English readers, who have had to content themselves with the necessarily condensed notes in the standard work on metallurgy by Phillips and Bauerman, and Professor Louis translation of Carl Schnabel swork. These, although valuable, do not claim to be exhaustive, and the modem volatilisation process naturally finds but little mention. It seems likely, however, to become the sole process by which the poorer classes of antimony ores can be economically treated; and as these ores are of rapidly growing importance, possibly as a result of the exhaustion of the richer grades of ore, a description of the process is of importance. It has been my privilege to carry out practical tests of the volatilisation process patented by Mons. H. Herrenschmidt, and tlie results are incorporated in this book. I am also greatly indebted to that gentleman for kindly reading through the greater part of my MS., especially the chapter on the Metallurgy of Antimony.

A solid overview and valuable aid for anyone endeavoring to unravel the complex history of alchemy.


The quest to turn base metals into gold captured the imagination of some of the finest minds of the enlightenment, this exciting book looks at the experiments carried out in dark basements away from the eye's of the public and the church. Little did these pioneers realise they were setting the foundation for one of the most fundamental sciences. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
