Botanical Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia (Classic Reprint)

This Pamphlet has been written with the object of supplying, to Students of Medicine, a ready means of acquiring that special information which, heretofore, they had much trouble and attendant loss of time in searching for through cumbrous works on the subject. Charts are the usual vehicles employed for conveying this kind of information, but the want of portability materially lessens their usefulness. A short sketch of the Classes andS ub-C lasses of the Vegetable Kingdom has first been given, this is followed by a description of the characters, of theN atural Orders of the Plants of theB ritish Pharmacopoeia, and theN ames of the Plants, with their Orders andO fficinal Parts, arranged in a tabular form. I have considered it advisable to include theL innsean Classes andO rders, as they are frequently asked byE xamining Boards. Should the object in view be attained, and the labour of theS tudent lightened, the earnest wishes of the Author will have been amply fulfilled. Dublin, Aprils
