Neville Historical Chemical Library, An Annotated Catalogue of Printed Books on Alchemy, Chemistry, Chemical Technology, and Related Subjects, Chemical Heritage Foundation: Philadelphia, 2006. COLLECTORS NOTE: This work was first issued in parts, then bound by the publishers and sold in two volumes as here. The Science Institute and Internet Archive digiitized copies have a different regular title page than our set - with three columns underneath the William Mackenzie publisher imprint, including New York in the smaller listings below. Our set includes the New York publisher Virtue and Yorston, the first we have seen. Since we have not seen this particular set before, we have to assume that (as with all other versions we've seen) the preface is missing here, and have included a modern copy of the preface for the new owner.…
