X gives firit an Account of the Original, tha*: it is 
a Collection of moft excellent Recife's made by Mr. James 
Shipton, who was the Preparer and Maker up of the 
greateft part of them, tho' their Author was the Famous 
Dr. Bate, whom to name is fufficienr, by whofe Know- 
ledge and Experience this Work was produced. 
The firft Edition was fo well received by the Learned, 
that they were foon prefented with a fecond, with an 
Addition of not only above 100 more of Dr. Bates Re- 
cipe's ,but alfo of the ArcanaGoddardiana from theAuthor's 
own Mfs. which much advanced the Value of the Bock, fo 
that at leaft 6000 of this Latin Edition were fold; which 
was digefted in an Alphabetical Method with the Arcana 
Goddardiana at the end thereof, which were only nomi- 
nal without their Preparations: Whereas in this Englijb 
Edition they are at large, and interfperfed in their pro- 
per places : The Method of the Book is likewife altered 
claffically, according to the Method and Order of the 
Chapters of the London Difpenfatory. 
The Work in the Latin being thus approved of by 
the Learned, and efpecially Phyficians induced our Au- 
thor to publifh this Engltjh Edition, as he fays, for its 
more general Ufe and Entertainment. Adding fome 
Preparations never before Printed, as Goddards Drops,
