Book excerpt: First published in Latin in 1678, Arthur Edward Waite translated the book and published it in two volumes in 1893. This fully illustrated edition includes Volumes I and II, as well as The Three Treatises Of Philalethes. This is one of the largest collections of Alchemical tracts. Chapters include The Golden Tract Concerning The Stone Of The Philosophers, The Golden Age Restored, The Sophic Hydrolith, The Glory Of The World; Or, Table Of Paradise, The Book Of Alze, The Book Of Lambspring, The Golden Tripod, The Testament Of Cremer, The New Chemical Light, A Subtle Allegory Concerning The Secrets Of Alchemy, The Metamorphosis Of Metals, Helvetius' Golden Calf, and, The Fount Of Chemical Truth.IT would be unjust to doubt, most gentle reader, that of all the arts invented for the use of life by the reason of man, that of Alchemy is the most noble and glorious. For all philosophers exclaim, as it were, with one voice, albeit in many languages, that this art is not only true, but (after the Divine Law by which our souls are saved) the best and most magnificent gift bestowed upon man by God; and that it should therefore be investigated with all zeal and with the greatest pains.
