A Compendium of Alchemical Processes Extracted fromt he writings of Glauber, Basil Valentine and other Adepts [compiled by A.E. Waite]

Publication: 1981 Samuel Weiser & The Aquarian Press; First Edition Thus

This text serves as a reprint of a significant anthology of alchemical processes, or experiments, showcasing the intricate and esoteric practices of alchemy. This work was edited and organized by the renowned A. E. Waite, and intended for the alchemical aficionado, the Honorable Stafford-Jerningham, who later ascended to the title of Lord Stafford. Notably, bibliographer Gilbert highlights that the original edition, which was published privately in 1894 specifically for Stafford, had an undetermined and likely very limited print run. Due to its scarcity, even esteemed bibliographers like Gilbert have noted that they have never encountered a copy bound in its original format.
