Burland, C.A.
The Arts of the Alchemists.
New York; The Macmillan Company: 1967. In this scholarly and lively survey of the work of alchemists through the centuries, C.A. Burland brilliantly unravels the strange mixture of psychology, philosophy, mysticism, and chemistry which makes up the alchemical arts. Although alchemists have often been derided as charlatans, this account reveals that many of them, from ancient Egypt to our own days, have engaged in a serious and dedicated search for the inner meaning of the whole material universe. Hardcover. 7.5"x10", 224 pages, 8 color, 130 b/w illustrations, dj; light wear, but a nice copy.
