A Course of Chemistry
Cours de chymie, oder: der vollkommene Chymist
First from German
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
Nicolas Lemery's 'Cours de Chymie' was originally written in French (first published 1675). It was widely translated into English from the French original starting in the late 17th century (e.g., Walter Harris, 1677). The book in question is a German edition published in 1698. While English translations of the work exist, they are translations of the French original, not of this specific German text. Therefore, this is a first translation from the German source.

About This Book
alchemychemistryhermeticismmedicinepharmacy
Step into the laboratory of the man who demystified the 'occult' arts and laid the foundation for modern chemistry. Nicolas Lemery’s 'A Course of Chymistry' strips away alchemical secrecy to reveal a world governed by mechanical laws, where 'acid spikes' and 'alkaline pores' explain everything from the growth of plants to the treatment of the 'French Sickness.'
