- W4241749275 abstract "THROUGH the kindness of the Editor of NATURE, I have had an opportunity of seeing Prof. Read's interesting letter. The citations which he gives from Sse Ma Tsien's chronicles (a careful translation of a portion of which by Chavannes has been published), and the reference to books on alchemy in 92 B.C., indicate an early date for the practical study of this subject in China. No one who has read the information available in translations such as these can, it would seem, agree with the hypothesis of Arabic transmission put forward by Berthelot on such slender evidence, and dogmatically repeated by later writers, some of whom have added to the confusion by citing the conclusions of authorities in a form which is the exact opposite of that held by the authors to whom reference is made. Anyone who is interested in Chinese alchemy is recommended to refer to careful translations of Chinese books, where these exist, and to ignore the very uncritical and garbled accounts of the subject given in recent compilations on the history of alchemy. I have already alluded in NATURE to the entirely independent support given to my suggestions by the valuable work of Stapleton and Azo. It appears that the ground is gradually being cleared, and if Chinese experts can be induced to render some assistance, a new chapter on the transmission of alchemy to the West may soon be written." @default.
