Alchemy and the Alchemists, Volume II; giving the secret of the philosopher's stone, the elixir of youth, and the universal solvent. Also showing that the true alchemists did not seek to transmute base metals into gold, but sought the highest initiation or the development of the spiritual nature in man. From the Preface: “The true student should bear in mind that the way to the true Knowledge, to true Initiation, the finding of the “Philosopher's Stone” and the “Elixir of Youth,” is open to-day as never before. There is a Secret School in which these things are thoroughly taught. Not the Mysteries themselves, for these can never be taught, but the way to them is taught clearly and practically.
