This book makes excellent connections between the colonies and England, something American historiography tends to ignore. The author seems to have both Yatesian and Jungian sympathies, and is a breath of fresh air after all of the Principe and Newman I have read on the topic of Alchemy. Similar titles on this topic appreciated.
For those of you wondering if this book has slid behind the mattress and the headboard, it has not. Unfortuantely it was published without a bibliography, so I have been compiling one. I have also strayed off to read several of his more commonly cited books, and yet I have not wanted to finish this too quickly! Coming next are the Newman and Principe title I referred to...
