The Art of Distillation

This treatise explains the theory and practice of distillation, a process central to early chemistry, medicine, and alchemical experimentation. Historically it reflects the overlap between practical science and occult thought, and readers will find instructions on apparatus, substances, and the preparation of waters, essences, and other distilled products.
