Bacstrom's Alchemical Anthology is a book compiled and edited by J.W. Hamilton-Jones. It is a collection of alchemical texts and manuscripts written by Johan Isaac Hollandus, a 17th-century alchemist, and his disciple, George Starkey. The book includes a variety of alchemical works, such as treatises on the philosopher's stone, transmutation of metals, and the alchemical processes of distillation and calcination. The texts are presented in their original form, with modern translations and annotations provided by the editor. The book also includes a detailed introduction that provides background information on the authors and their works, as well as an overview of alchemy and its role in history. Bacstrom's Alchemical Anthology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of alchemy.The following extracts selected from numerous authors, contain a full elucidation of the hidden art on which so many thousand volumes have been written. �������Certain it is their knowledge in some particulars went far beyond what the moderns, with all their advantages, can pretend to lay claim to. Their prime and grand arcanum was the Philosophers' stone�������a secret which they concealed with much care, and which yet they were anxious should be discovered by a few, from their writings.������� A few of the alchemists mentioned are: Eyr�����neus Philaletha, Raymund Lully, Ripley, Bacon, Geber, Flamel, Kelly, Basil Valentine, Theophrastus. Contents: Of Sulphur�������Sol; Of our Mercury�������Regulus of Antimony and Mars; Of the Secret Fire�������Sublimate of Mercury; Of Rebis; Of the Three Principles; Of the Furnace and Glass; Of the Work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
