- Although historians have recently shown a great deal of interest in the early-modern search for the liquor alkahest or universal solvent, early Royal Society discussions of that legendary substance have been ignored, probably because the papers associated with them seemed to have been lost. Three of them have recently been rediscovered in the Society's archives. This article reproduces them for the first time in photographic facsimile with a description and commentary placing them in their contemporary context.
