Marrow of Alchemy

The Marrow of Alchemy is an important alchemical poem by one of the most influential alchemists in Britain during the late 17th century English alchemical revival. It is divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical one. Adam McLean has transcribed this and provides notes to guide the reader through some of the obsolete English terms and expressions. He adds a short introduction to the work and its context and a more lengthy introductory essay by the well known alchemical collector and professor of chemistry, John Ferguson (1838-1916).
