* The Lives of Alchemystical Philosophers ; with a critical catalogue of books in occult chemistry and a selection of the most celebrated treatises on the theory and practice of the Hermetic Art. London, 1815. pp. 386, 8vo.
Contains superficial biographies of 45 so-called adepts, a list of 750 alchemi- cal books, and selections from the most incredible treatises on the hermetic art. Bibliographically it is very inexact, giving one-line titles only. The work is quite scarce and commands a price disproportionate to its value for students who read other languages than the English. Published anonymously. For a revised edition of a portion, see Waite, A. E.
