Ancient and Modern Alchemy
The number of books in the English language dealing with the interesting subject of Alchemy is not sufficiently great to render an apology necessary for adding thereto. Indeed, at the present time there is an actual need for a further contribution on this subject. The time is gone when it was regarded as perfectly legitimate to point to Alchemy as an instance of the aberrations of the human mind. Recent experimental research has brought about profound modifications in the scientific notions regarding the chemical elements, and, indeed, in the scientific concept of the physical universe itself; and a certain resemblance can be traced between these later views and the theories of bygone Alchemy. The spontaneous change of one "element" into another has been witnessed, and the recent work of Sir William Ramsay suggests the possibility of realising the old alchemistic dream-the transmutation of the "base" metals into gold.

Hair-Dyes And Hair-Dyeing Chemistry And Technique
This early works on Hair dying contains a wealth of information on the subject it was originally published in 1929 under the title 'Blonde or Brunette'. In the making of this book, a chemist and a practical hair dresser have collaborated, and we believe that we have produced the most comprehensive treatise on the subject which has been written in any language, and one, moreover, which will fill a very real need. We offer it to the general reader, to the hairdresser and beauty-culturist.... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Alchemy: Ancient and Modern
Herbert Stanley Redgrove (1887-1943) was a chemist who helped to form the Alchemical Society in London, and the author of "Alchemy: Ancient and Modern." Among his other works, include: On the Calculation of Thermo-Chemical Constants (1909), Alchemy: Ancient and Modern (1911), A Mathematical Theory of Spirit (1912), Experimental Mensuration (1912), The Magic of Experience (1916), Roger Bacon (1920), Purpose and Transcendentalism (1920) and Bygone Beliefs (1920).In his book "Alchemy: Ancient and Modern," Herbert Stanley presents an informative description of the alchemistic doctrines, their relations to mysticism, and to more recent discoveries in the physical science; as well as some particulars regarding the lives and teachings of the most notable alchemists; those before and after Paracelsus.
A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity
Market: Physicists, interested lay readers, and historians of science. This survey of the history of electrodynamics provides insight into the revolutionary advances made in physics during 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the time of Plato to the end of the 19th century. The second volume examines the origins of the discoveries that paved the way for modern physics with the emphasis on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics.
Joseph Glanvill and Psychical Research in the Seventeenth Century
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for...
