This sale is for an original1902FIRST EDITIONof \"THE STORY OF ALCHEMY AND THE BEGINNINGS OF CHEMISTRY\" by M.M. PATTISON MUIR, M.A, published by George Newnes, LTD., London.YOU\'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!The Hermitic sciences are the basis for all modern chemistry and medicine, and yet we still long to find that elusive Philosopher\'s stone, that the ancients spoke matter-of-factly about.There are17 ILLUSTRATIONS in this edition!
It provides a good, thorough history behind ALCHEMY in an easy, understandable manner.
The story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry is very interesting in itself. It is also a pregnant example of the contrast between the scientific and the emotional methods of regarding nature; and it admirable illustrates the differences between well-grounded, suggestive, hypotheses, and baseless speculations.
This book takes the reader on a light journey through the history of chemistry, from its start in the obscure mysteries of alchemy to what was, for the author, the cutting edge of the development of modern atomic theory … and whose developing blind ends we can now see with the advantage of hind sight.
The quest to turn base metals into gold captured the imagination of some of the finest minds of the enlightenment, this exciting book looks at the experiments carried out in dark basements away from the eyes of the public and the church. Little did these pioneers realise they were setting the foundation for one of the most fundamental sciences.
