	Young Collection
		This was a catalogue of the alchemical collection of James Young (1811-1883), a self-made Scottish entrepreneur who amassed a considerable fortune developing the paraffin industry.
		Young collected alchemical books because he believed that a survey of alchemy was indispensable for an understanding of the history of chemistry, rather than through a deep interest in alchemy for its own sake.
		However, he was able to gather some 1050 books and 7 manuscripts, and this collection was given in the late nineteenth century to the Andersonian Institute in Glasgow, which James Young held in high esteem, as he had been able in his early years to gain his knowledge of chemistry through attending classes there.

		This followed the discovery by James "Paraffin" Young that mineral oil could be extracted from coal mined at Boghead, near Bathgate, and then that it was even more easily gained from the oil shales that underlay much of West Lothian.
