Book Description
Johann Rudolf Glauber (1604-1670) was a German-Dutch alchemist and chemist. He was a prolific author, and contributed much to the understanding of chemistry. He remained convinced of the reality of the transmutation of metals and in this book suggests that this required a 'secret fire', which he indicated was some kind of acid or agent that could penetrate metals and change their nature.
This is one of his later works, written shortly before his death.
For this book, the English has been extensively modernised by Adam McLean
