Chymische Versuche
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including UNESCO Index Translationum, Google Books, and Internet Archive) yielded no evidence of any English translation of Johann Friedrich Meyer's 1756 work 'Chymische Versuche'. Given the specialized nature of this 18th-century German alchemical text, it is highly probable that no translation exists.
