study ;  yet  even  as  such,  valuable  thoiigh  it  is,  we  should  wish  it  to  give,  not 
fragmentary  information,  but  such  suggestions  to  detailed  study  and  inves- 
tigation, as  were  so  happily  embodied  in  Procter's  syllabus,  and  we  hope 
that  in  the  next  edition  of  his  little  work  Prof.  Patcli  may  deem  them  wor- 
thy of  incorporation  as  practical  hints  for  the  tyros  in  pharmacy.

Handworterhuch  der  Pharmakognosie  des  Pflanzenreichs.    Von  Prof.  Dr. 
G.  C.  Wittstein.    Breslau  :  Eduard  Trewendt,  1883. 
Dictionary  of  Pharmacognosy  of  the  Vegetable  Kingdom. 
This  work  has  now  been  completed  by  the  publication  of  the  seventh 
part  and  makes  a  handsome  and  well-printed  volume  of  994  pages.  Of  its 
arrangement  we  have  spoken  on  former  occasions.  Now  that  the  completed 
work  is  before  us  we  may  state  that  our  expectation  of  its  usefulness  and 
reliability  as  a  work  of  reference  and  information,  has  been  fully  realized. 
Its  author  the  veteran  pharmacist.  Prof.  Wittstein,  is  so  well  known  in 
this  country,  that  those  pharmacists  who  are  conversant  with  the  German 
language,  will  hail  his  latest  work  with  approbation.  The  index  is  divided 
into  three  parts  containing  the  German,  officinal  and  systematic  names,  so 
that  each  article  can  be  easily  referred  to.  It  should  be  stated  yet  that  the 
work  forms  a  part  of  a  series  published  under  the  general  title  of  "  Ency- 
clopedia of  the  Natural  Sciences,"  and  embracing  botany,  mineralogy, 
physics,  chemistry,  etc.  The  different  parts  are  written  and  edited  by  some 
of  the  most  noted  German  scientists.
