This is an interesting article about one of Sir Isaac Newton's Alchemical manuscripts. The really cool part of it is that there is an interactive thingy which will hep you make sense of the text.
Newton seems to have been primarily a physical Alchemist, so he concentrated mainly on lab work. It's interesting to see how the Alchemists used myths to describe their laboratory processes.
