Edition Notes

STC 19182.

Sudhoff 356, 184.

Pt. 1 is "a loose paraphrase, not a translation" of Duchesne's De exquisita mineralium, animalium, & vegetabilium medicamentorum spagyrica praeparatione & usu, perspicua tractatio. Pt. 2 probably is derived from Paracelsus. Cf. P. H. Kocher. John Hester, Paracelsan in Joseph Quincy Adams memorial studies, 1948, p. 629-630.

Earlier London editions (1575, 1580, 1596) were published under title: The key of philosophie. Also published anonymously in London in 1633 under title: A storehouse of physicall and philosophicall secrets.
