1929. Being a facsimile reproduction from Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum, written in 1652, with annotations by Elias Ashmole. The historian may find small value in the Ordinall as a chemical document, however its sprightliness of style, its somewhat archaic, yet not difficult, language, and its atmosphere of romance, combine to make it a delightful book to read. The Ordinall is written in Old English text.
