Ruesenstein's Processes in English!

 Selected Chemical and Universal Processes 

by Alexius von Ruesenstein. 

It is with great excitement that I have finally completed Volume 47 of the R.A.M.S. Library of Alchemy! This is exciting for two reasons:

1. The R.AM.S. edition is the only English edition of the work. The German version is available, but I have never found another English edition.

2. The contents are amazing! The Baron travels with five other Alchemists who exchange stories about their various Alchemical processes, while sharing their insights into the Art. Their stories are fascinating. Many Alchemical laboratory procedures are detailed with various alternatives discussed.

Here is a short example from a discussion about the  Philosophical Mercury:

Here is a section from the Foreward:

Oh happy child, discoverer of this book and of this treasure of philosophical secrets! Praise be to you. For you will become a wise artist. For this book will tell you everything that is hidden between heaven and earth in the treasure-house of the wise art. Because it is fitting that all books on our art should have a forward or explanation, I have added this foreword here, so that you will know what is hidden in this book. You should know that great universal works of various kinds are to be found in this book. You will discover nature itself.

This is one of the very best works in the R.A.M.S. Library, almost as good as The Golden Chain of Homer. I highly recommend this book to all students of Alchemy.
