I have long been imprisoned upon the basest of motives, nor have my fellows of the Crimson College exonerated me. Here, then, I publicly (if obscurely) publish the first of the twenty-one principles. If the one called Master Woolsthorp fails to oblige his duties, I shall continue by exposing further details of the secret compact. A Fundamental of Transmutation to Gold In earthenware combine 621 grams of finely powdered antimony (Sb) with 601 grams of finely powdered and unoxidized lead (Pb) to which is added several liters of 2 molar citric acid (C6H807). Seal the mixture and retain it at ordinary temperatures and pressures with continual agitation for at least 56 hours, but not more than 90 hours. In the copper retort combine 4,092 grams of mercury (Hg) and the well agitated mixture of citric acid, antimony and lead to which is added a 1.5 gram grain of the transmuting, cold fusion catalyst called The Rose Stone. After warming, seal the retort through a pressure condenser and heat the retort to the simmering of the mercury. Retain at boiling at normal pressures for at least forty-six days, but not more than six months. Shield the retort from living things which will be damaged by radiation able to penetrate the retort or glass apparatus. Cool, separate the reaction products, vis. 3427 grams of gold (Au), 752 grams helium (He), 352 grams arsenic (As) in compound, sundry waste products and rare earths and substantial radiation. The gold requires purification, some being in compound and amalgam.
