Excerpt from Translation of the Pharmacop?ia: Of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 1836; With Notes and Illustrations
Considering how much has been effected in the present age towards extending and almost re-creating the arts on which the science of Medicine depends, it will excite no surprise that the Pharmacopoeia published twelve years ago, should have become somewhat imperfect and obsolete. The College of Physicians had long ago determined on revising and reforming it, but many circumstances prevented its completion. For not only is it always a difficult undertaking to collect and justly to appreciate the opinions of a number of persons, but it was frequently our duty to examine the most trivial points, and carefully to consider the rejection or improvement of what had become antiquated, and the admission of what was new, and to judge of the best mode of carrying these alterations into effect. On these points we have been much engaged.
