Description

ALCHEMY AND THE ALCHEMISTS 1865 by an anonymous author. Published by James Miller in New York 1865. Remarks upon alchemy and the alchemists : indicating a method of discovering the true nature of hermetic philosophy and showing that the search after the philosopher’s stone had not for its object the discovery of an agent for the transmutation of metals, being also an attempt to rescue from undeserved opprobrium the reputation of a class of extraordinary thinkers in past ages. Publishers embossed green cloth with gold gilt. Very Good Condition. It has a page inserted in the back of the book that is written in shorthand. 304 pgs 7 1/2" by 5"
