Alchemy in 17th century Norwich (England)

[Paul Ferguson]

"It was a century when dies were cast, distinctions made, and attitudes changed. The Ouroboros shed its skin: alchemy became chemistry and natural
philosophy became reductionist science; the shed skins were beautiful, though lifeless representations of the wonders of Nature. But the change was not clear
until later. One place where key actors in the drama came together was England’s second city, Norwich."
