ral and concentrated view, as far as we 

 have been able, not only of the substances 

 employed, Ivt of the mode and prepara- 

 tion in wlaei; they are exhibited by the 

 different pharmacopoeias at present ex- 

 tant; we may be told, perhaps, that we are 

 hereby, in some measure, entrenching 

 upon i, ie province of Pharmacy, properly 

 so called. We are not insensible to the 

 remark : but we hereby gain an advantage 

 which no other plan could present to us; 

 we offer at one and the same time a table 

 of comparative statements, and show the 

 various forms in which the same material 

 becomes an official drug. We have also 

 been anxious to exhibit, in every instance, 

 a glance at the common dose for adult 

 age, as well as to specify in terms, as ab- 

 breviated as possible, the name of the 

 country in which the different articles 

 exist indigenously ; the part or organ of 

 the substance employed ; and the dis- 

 ease in which it is supposed to be effi- 

 cacious. The classification is as follows, 

 and every class is subdivided as far as 

 possible into an animal, a vegetable, and 

 u fossile section.
