royle's manual of materia medica, etc. 273 
We have sufficiently extended our notice of the Manual of 
Materia Medica and Therapeutics, to show that it possesses 
great merit, which will be a pretty sure guarrantee of its 
acceptableness to the profession. The department of Materia 
Medica is now so extended, that the treatises recently issued 
from the press, partake of the nature of Cyclopaedias. To 
the student, whether of pharmacy solely or medicine, an ex- 
tended manual as the present cannot but be regarded with 
favour. 
An American edition, with the introduction of all that 
pertains to the indigenous Materia Medica, and the Phar- 
macopoeia of the United States, has just been published in 
large octavo, thus making the work easily accessible.
