Alchemy is a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. It aimed to purify, mature, and perfect certain objects. Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and western tradition, the achievement of gnosis. In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects.

The object of this Alchemy book is to place before the reader in language as simple as possible the story of alchemy. Because the literature on this science has ever been an enigma to both the scientific and the lay mind, it is the earnest desire of the author to present it stripped of its symbolism, and to give some indication of its processes, its achievements, and its possibilities.

There has been a modern myth woven around the author of this out of print and hard to find book. Archibald Cockren has been reputed to have been highly successful in the Great Arcanum. This book the only one authored by him is well known to be a modern textbook of the Art stripped of its symbolism presented here for the first time in an app.

There is a modern myth that Archibald Cockren is still alive immortalized by his elixirs.

The wrap cover of the book contains the following summary: "This book is almost unique as a study, but it is entirely unique in that it describes remarkable laboratory experiments into Alchemy, which have been carried out over a number of years and which have produced results of a tangible, definite and practical nature. The book begins with a precise historical account of the Great Arcanum, together with particulars of some of those adepts whose names and writings ate known to all students of Alchemy. Then the dramatic story is told of how the spagyric art of the extraction of the vital essence or “seed" of metals by the identical processes discovered and perfected by Paracelsus, Basil Valentine, and other adepts, and used by them for cuing diseases, was rediscovered. The preparation of medicinal elixirs from the seven metals, and the final crowning discovery of the Alkahest of the Philosophers, are also described. To all students of the occult, and also chemists and medical men, as well as those of an inquiring mind, this book will come as a significant revelation".
