TO THE MEMBERS AND GRADUATES OF THE PHILADEL- 
PHIA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. 
The College of Pharmacy having engaged to prepare a 
complete revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia, and 
the "Committee of Revision" being now organised, and 
about to engage in the active discharge of its duties, the aid 
and co-operation of the members and graduates of the College, 
in carrying forward the important work, to the due and suc- 
cessful execution of which the honor and standing of the Col- 
lege is pledged, are respectfully invited. Solicitous for the 
reputation of our institution, and anxious for the diffusion of 
all the light which can possibly be elicited, the "Committee of 
Revision" appeals to those who hold that reputation dear, who 
possess the means of irradiating much practical and theo- 
retic truth, and without whose aid the most assiduous 
industry of the Committee will be insufficient to do full 
justice to the subject, to contribute fully and freely the 
result of their reflections, experience, and research, so 
that the revised work, which it is the duly of the Committee 
to prepare, shall exhibit the improved state of modern Phar- 
macy, and present a type of the condition of the science in 
this country. Referring to the preceding report of the com- 
mittee who inquired into the expediency of engaging in this 
enterprise, for an explanation of the views under which the 
present Committee is appointed, the undersigned again renew 
the request that any suggestions, as regards alterations or ad- 
ditions, may be left w T ith either member of the Committee, or
