The British Pharmacopoeia (Classic Reprint)

The interval which has elapsed since the publication of the British Pharmacopoeia in 1867 has been productive of changes relating to the matter and objects of that work which have rendered its revision and reproduction necessary. Not only have many new remedies been introduced into medical practice, which seemed to call for official recognition, but of those which had already received such recognition there are many with regard to which much extended knowledge has been acquired as to their sources and scientific characters, as well as of the methods by which they may be best prepared for use in medicine. In the production of the present edition of the Pharmacopoeia pains have been taken to bring the whole of the matter up to the existing state of knowledge. No change has been made in the arrangement or the general construction of the work.
