Religio chemici by George Wilson FRSE - Paul Ferguson - 10-17-2025
"George Wilson had it in his heart for many years to write a book corresponding to the Religio Medici of Sir Thomas Browne, with the title Religio Chemici. Several of the Essays in this volume were intended to form chapters of it, but the health and leisure necessary to carry out his plans were never attainable, and thus fragments only of the designed work exist. These fragments, however, being in most cases like finished gems waiting to be set, some of them are now given in a collected form to his friends and the public."
"The essays display a strong belief in the harmony of chemical science with divine purpose, seeing in the order, the laws, and the transformations of matter signs of wisdom and beneficence beyond mere material forces." - Alexander the Library Cat
