MOHR AND REDWOOD'S PRACTICAL PHARMACY. 213 
REVIEW. 
ART. XLVII.— PRACTICAL PHARMACY: The Arrangements, Ap- 
paratus and Manipulations of the Pharmaceutical Shop and Laboratory. 
By Francis Mohr, Ph. D. ; Assessor Pharmacia? of the Royal Prussian 
College of Medicine, Coblentz ; and Theophilus Redwood, Profes- 
sor of Chemistry and Pharmacy to the Pharmaceutical Society of 
Great Britain. Edited, with extensive additions, by William Proc- 
ter, Jr., Professor of Pharmacy in the Philadelphia College of Phar- 
macy. Philada. : Lea & Blanchard, 1849. pp.576. 
The object of this work is well expressed in the title page 
which we have quoted. It is designed to instruct the phar- 
maceutist as to the arrangements, apparatus and manipula- 
tions necessary in his art. After a pretty thorough exami- 
nation, we can recommend it as a highly useful book, which 
should be in the hands of every apothecary. Although no 
instruction of this kind will enable the beginner to acquire 
that practical skill and readiness which experience only can 
confer, we believe that this work will much facilitate their 
acquisition, by indicating means for the removal of diffi- 
culties as they occur, and suggesting methods of operation 
in conducting pharmaceutic processes which the experimen- 
ter would only hit upon after many unsuccessful trials ; 
while there are few pharmaceutists, of however extensive 
experience, who will not find in it valuable hints that they 
can turn to use in conducting the affairs of the shop and 
laboratory. 
The mechanical execution of the work is in a style of 
unusual excellence. It contains about 570 large octavo 
pages, handsomely printed on good paper, and illustrated 
by over 500 remarkably well executed wood cuts of chemi- 
cal and pharmaceutical apparatus. It comprises the whole 
of Mohr and Redwood's book, as published in London, re- 
arranged and classified by the American editor, who has 
added much valuable new matter, which has increased the
