Alchemical books in early modern England

[Paul Ferguson]

'In 1688 William Cooper, a London bookseller, published A catalogue of chymicall books. For two decades he had collected these titles, locating, identifying and recording details of 422 English books.1 This list documents one component of the history of alchemy. It also provides a measure of the vitality of alchemical pursuits in Restoration England.'
