Collectanea Cfjemica: 



Being certain select treatises on Alchemy and Hermetic 



Medicine, by EIREN^EUS PHILALETHES, FRANCIS 



ANTONY, GEORGE STARKEY, SIR GEORGE 



RIPLEY, and ANONYMOUS UNKNOWN. 



CONTENTS : 



The Secret of the Immortal Liquor called Alkahest. 



Aurum Potabile. 



The Admirable Efficacy of the True Oil of Sulphur Vive. 



The Stone of the Philosophers. 



The Bosom Book of Sir George Ripley. 



The Preparation of the Sophie Mercury. 



The Hermetic Tracts comprised in this volume are 

 printed from a quarto manuscript belonging to the cele- 

 brated collection of the late Mr. Frederick Hockley, who 

 was well known among modern students of the secret 

 sciences not only for the resources of his Hermetic 

 Library, but for his practical acquaintance with many 

 branches of esoteric art, and for his real or reputed 

 connection with the numerous but unavowed associations 

 which now, as at anterior periods, are supposed to dis- 

 pense initiation into occult knowledge.
