A translation of this was made by a Dr. Sigismund Bacstrom in 1797, and from this MSS. an attempt to publish it in the Journal “Lucifer” was made in 1891, but it was discontinued. It is a very important Book, and considered by many to hold the key to Alchemy.

This stupendous collection of Alchemical Books (the best that has yet appeared) was printed for private distribution by his family in accor¬ dance with the terms of the deceased’s will ; an act of benificence to genuine Students that is unequalled in History : long may his Name be handed down to posterity for such Princely Generosity : the Work is printed on hand made paper, the type I should judge was cast specially for the purpose, and the labour of compilation must have been immense, whilst the Notes of Mr. Ferguson comprising the Lives of the various Authors and copious matter of most detailed facts form a History of the Subject that is unequalled. The Cost of all this could only be defrayed by a Wealthy Gentleman whose purse was equalled by his desire to benefit genuine Students of the Hermetic Art whom fortune had not placed in such a favourable position.

In this work Findel deals very impartially with the R.c. chiefly reviewing the order from the events that have happened in Germany, also sub¬ sequently with other orders, using this same symbol, notably J. G. Schrepfer’s in A.D. 1768.

This MSS. is unsigned by Fludd, and has no letter of his accompanying it, but it evidently is a genuine copy of a letter he sent to King James, proving undoubtedly that he was the Author of the Two prece¬ ding works, unfortunately MSS. 12 B. VIII. Brit. Mus. was burnt in a Fire they had at their Binders, this was presumably the original and more valuable document, whereas the above is only a copy.
