Murray, with whom he fled from London to Oxford during the See also:plague of 1665. He appears to have had some employment of See also:state, but he continued his favourite studies and actually died of the fumes of See also:mercury at the See also:house of See also:Samuel See also:Kern at See also:Albury on the 27th of See also:February 1666. Vaughan regarded himself as a philosopher of nature, and although he certainly sought the universal solvent, his published writings See also:deal rather with magic and See also:mysticism than with technical alchemy. They also contain much controversy with Henry More the Platonist. Vaughan was called a Rosicrucian, but denied the imputation. He wrote or translated Anthroposophia Theomagica (165o); Anima Magica Abscondita (165o); Magia Adamica and Coelum.Terrae (165o); The See also:Man-See also:Mouse taken in a See also:Trap (165o); The Second See also:Wash; or the See also:Moor Scoured once more (1651); Lumen de Lumine and Aphorisimi Magici Eugeniani (1651); The Fame an4 See also:Confession of the Fraternity of R.C. (1652); Aula Lucis (1652); See also:Euphrates (1655); Nollius' Chymist's See also:Key (1657); A Brief Natural See also:History (1669). Most of these See also:pamphlets appeared under the See also:pseudonym of See also:Eugenius Philalethes. Vaughan was probably, although it is by no means certain, not the famous See also:adept known as Eirenaeus Philalethes, who was alleged to have found the philosopher's See also:- STONE

In 1896 Vaughan was the subject of an amazing mystification in the Memoires d'une ex-Palladiste. These formed See also:part of certain alleged revelations as to the practice of See also:devil-See also:worship by the initiates of See also:freemasonry. The author, whose name was given as See also:Diana Vaughan, claimed to be a descendant of Thomas and to possess See also:family papers which showed amongst other marvels that he had made a pact with See also:Lucifer, and had helped to found freemasonry as a Satanic society. The inventors of the hoax, which took in manyeminent See also:Catholic ecclesiastics, were some unscrupulous See also:Paris journalists.
The Magical Writings of Thomas Vaughan were edited by Mr A. E. See also:Waite in 1888. His See also:miscellaneous Latin and English verses are included in vol. ii. of Dr A. B. See also:Grosart's See also:Fuller Worthies Library edition of the See also:Works of Henry Vaughan (1871). A See also:manuscript See also:book of his, with alchemical and autobiographical jottings made between 1658 and 1662, forms Brit. See also:Mus. See also:Sloane MS. 1741.

See also:Chambers's See also:Muses Library edition of the Poems of Henry Vaughan (1896), together with an See also:account and See also:criticism of the Memoires d'une ex-Palladiste. These fabrications were also discussed by Mr A. E. Waite, Devil-Worship in See also:France (1896), and finally exposed by M. Gaston Wry, La Write sur Diana Vaughan.
