"Elizabeth became one of the most prominent women healers in Philadelphia. Two years after her father’s death, at the age of 19, she married Joseph Paschall, the grandson of Thomas Paschall Sr., an apothecary, pewterer, and alchemist who joined William Penn’s 1682 fleet that sailed to Pennsylvania from Bristol, England. Thomas Paschall Jr., Joseph’s father, ran a mill west of Philadelphia and served in the Pennsylvania Assembly. Joseph similarly grew up in a Quaker family, and when Joseph and Elizabeth married, the two moved into the Coates house on Market Street that Elizabeth had inherited from her father. Elizabeth learned alchemical and medical practices from Joseph and his brothers, augmenting what she had already learned from her parents, especially her mother Beulah."

"The Rosarium philosophorum or Rosary of the philosophers is recognised as one of the most important texts of European alchemy. Originally written in the 16th century, it is extensively quoted in later alchemical writings. It first appeared in print as the second volume of a larger work entitled De alchimia opuscula complura veterum philosophorum, in Frankfurt in 1550. As with many alchemical texts, its authorship is unknown. Many copies also circulated in manuscript, of which around thirty illustrated copies are extant. There are six manuscript copies of it in our collection, including translations into French, German, and, in the case of this manuscript (Ms Ferguson 210), into English. This latter is also supplied with 20 vividly coloured miniatures pasted in, which derive - with some alteration - from the original printed version."
