"George Starkey—chymistry tutor to Robert Boyle, author of immensely popular alchemical treatises, and probably early America's most important scientist—reveals in these pages the daily laboratory experimentation of a seventeenth-century alchemist.The editors present in this volume transcriptions of Starkey's texts, their translations, and valuable commentary for the modern reader. Dispelling the myth that alchemy was an irrational enterprise, this remarkable collection of laboratory notebooks and correspondence reveals the otherwise hidden methodologies of one of the seventeenth century's most influential alchemists."

"The year was 1789 when an old man shoveled dirt onto two hefty barrels of silver, hidden away in a cave on the roaring banks of the Swift River in Massachusetts. He needed to bury his treasure, because he had procured it by means that were considered illegal and, at one point, mystical. This old man was Glazier Wheeler, once a blacksmith and engraver, but the town of Dana knew him as 'the alchemist'."

"They started with four: earth, air, fire, and water. From these basics, they sought to understand the essential ingredients of the world. Those who could see further, those who understood that the four were just the beginning, were the last sorcerers – and the world's first chemists."

"But to us common (sic) people, the most fascinating aspect of San Leo’s history is, undoubtedly, its association with the enigmatic figure of Count Cagliostro. Born Giuseppe Balsamo in Palermo in 1743, Cagliostro was a self-styled magician, alchemist, and healer who gained notoriety across Europe. His flamboyant lifestyle and mysterious persona made him a subject of fascination and controversy. In 1791, Cagliostro was imprisoned in the fortress of San Leo by the Inquisition, accused of heresy and other crimes. He spent his final years in the fortress, and his legacy continues to intrigue visitors to this day...Visitors can explore the cells where prisoners were held, including the one that confined the famous Sicilian alchemist (shown below)."
