Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Translation of the Pharmacopoeia: Of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 1836; With Notes and Illustrations
It will here be proper brie?y to explain what we have effected. We have not been satisfied with describing a number of medicines without thoroughly examining them all; we have especially subjected the chemical prepara tions, which have yearly increased in number and import ance, to the test of rigid experiment. If some of these should appear but little approved by experience, we have nevertheless included them in this work, that if any one should think fit to administer them, he might have all accurately prepared. Lest anything further should be wanting to complete the work, or to the security of the sick, we have now for the first time added short notes, by which the purity of the medicines required may be for the most part easily ascertained, sufficiently, at least, for the use of physicians and students in medicine, if not always for the exact analysis of chemists.
