Full title: 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. Reuben Swinburne Clymer in 1907: “I consider it one of the best works ever issued on the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, ‘The Elixir of Youth’, and ‘Universal Solvent’. …. The author has proved that Man was the subject of Alchemy, and that the object of the Art was the perfection, or at least, the improvement of man.” The book has no table of contents and no division into chapters.
