A86029	A description of new philosophical furnaces, or A new art of distilling, divided into five parts. Whereunto is added a description of the tincture of gold, or the true aurum potabile; also, the first part of the mineral work. Set forth and published for the sakes of them that are studious of the truth. / By John Rudolph Glauber. Set forth in English, by J.F. D.M.; Furni novi philosophici. English.	Glauber, Johann Rudolf, 1604-1670.; French, John, 1616-1657.	1651 (1651)	Wing G846; Thomason E649_3; ESTC R202215	318,170	477
