An edition of Remarks upon alchemy and the alchemists (1857)

Remarks upon alchemy and the alchemists

indicating a method of discovering the true nature of hermetic philosophy : and showing that the search after the philosopher's stone had not for its object the discovery of an agent for the transmutation of metal : being also an attempt to rescue from undeserved opprobrium the reputation of a class of extraordinary thinkers in past ages.

Excerpts

SOME two years since, I printed a small pamphlet on the subject of Alchemy, my object being to throw out an idea with which I was strongly impressed, that the Philosopher's Stone was a mere symbol, and that the Alchemists were not in pursuit of gold, but of wisdom, carefully and conscientiously leaving the latter word undefined.
