Librivox recording of The Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry by M. M. Pattison Muir.
Read by Peter Yearsley
A light journey through the history of chemistry, from its start in the obscure mysteries of alchemy to what was, for the author, the cutting edge of the development of modern atomic theory ... and whose developing blind ends we can now see with the advantage of hind sight. (Summary by Peter Yearsley)
