The Business of Alchemy

Editorial Reviews
Simon Schaffer, London Review of Books
A fine study of the relation between alchemy and commerce in the German speaking lands of the later seventeenth century.... It is a mark of Smith's success that she lucidly conveys the radical implications of Becher's projects in the face of existing scholarship, which sees him merely as one of the crowd.

Margaret C. Jacob, American Historical Review
Spirited and fascinating.... This blending of the modern with the traditional, this seamless knitting of commerce with princely extravagance, alchemy with science, commerce, and industry, stands as the major achievement of Smith's portrait of intellectual life in the late seventeenth century Hapsburg territories.
