Both the quest for natural knowledge and the aspiration to
alchemical wisdom played crucial roles in the Scientific
Revolution, as William R. Newman demonstrates in this fascinating
book about George Starkey (1628-1665), America's first famous
scientist. Beginning with Starkey's unusual education in colonial
New England, Newman traces out his many interconnected careers -
natural philosopher, alchemist, chemist, medical practitioner,
economic projector, and creator of the fabulous adept, "Eirenaeus
Philalethes." Newman reveals the profound impact Starkey had on the
work of Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Samuel Hartlib, and other key
thinkers in the realm of early modern science.
