Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery and Romance of Alchemy and Pharmacy IT has been my endeavour in the following pages to sketch, however imperfectly, some phases of the romance and mystery that have surrounded the arts of medicine, alchemy, and pharmacy from the earliest period of which we have record down to the close of the eighteenth century. The influence of the past on the present is greater than we commonly suppose. In this age of rapid scientific progress and brilliant research, we are apt to overlook and lose sight of the patient labours of the early pioneers of science, many of Whom laid the foundations of discoveries that have since proved of inestimable value to mankind. Hence the history of the past, whether in science or in art, is always worthy of study and attention. My thanks are due to the Editor of the Pharmaceutical 70mm!

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Witch Winnie in Venice and the Alchemist's Story "Shreds and Patches" is the title of the last chapter of the present volume; and the author is aware that the entire book - with its scraps of history "cut out of whole cloth its numerous quotations; its old characters familiar in former stories; its personal impressions, theories, and moral reflections; its endeavor to be instructive and yet amusing; and all this held together by the most transparent film of plot - is but "a thing of shreds and patches.." My only apology is that this is exactly the process employed in the manufacture of the finest point applique lace. It is the work of many hands. The tiny flowers may have been cut from other and more antique specimens. They are "applied" on a web of cheaper machine-made net, or united by brides or tiny lacets, and bordered more or less elaborately, while the spaces between the sprigs and flowers were filled in with various kinds of stitches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Tudor explorers returned from the New World, they brought back a name out of half-forgotten Viking legend: skraylings. Red-sailed ships followed in the explorers’ wake, bringing Native American goods--and a skrayling ambassador--to London. But what do these seemingly magical beings really want in Elizabeth I’s capital? Mal Catlyn, a down-at-heel swordsman, is seconded to the ambassador's bodyguard, but assassination attempts are the least of his problems. What he learns about the skraylings and their unholy powers could cost England her new ally--and Mal his soul.
