The quest for artificial gold has never ended. The Swedish writer August Strindberg convinced himself that he had made it alchemically in 1894 but this at least was one claim susceptible to chemical disproof, for his gold turned out to be a gold-coloured compound of iron a variety of fool s gold. 

Alchemy, nourished in superstition and chicanery, still has its adepts and believers. In France, there exists an Alchemical Society for the study of alchemic processes of transmutation. August Strindberg, one of Sweden s great modern literary figures, was a firm believer in transmutation. People ask me if I can make gold, he wrote, and I reply, to draw the genealogical chart of the ancestors of a cat, I do not have to know how...
