We have the pleasure of announcing the publication of the new United 
States Pharmacopoeia. Although delayed several months beyond the year 
of its commencement, it has been issued a year earlier than the edition of 
1840. We have neither time nor space to notice its contents in this number, 
but may say the typography, paper, etc., are of a quality creditable to the 
publishers and worthy of the work. The following is a list of the newly 
introduced drugs and preparations.
