Abstract
THE student of pharmacy will, no doubt, find plenty of instructive information in this book. It does not, however, call for an extended notice in this journal, as the author does not attempt a scientific treatment of the subject, but confines himself to dealing with it on the old lines. The various pharmaceutical operations of solution, infusion, &c, are fully described, but no attempt is made to arrange the facts on any than an empirical basis. The time has arrived, however, when pharmacy should be expounded in a more scientific manner, and many barbaric and obsolete processes excluded or re-modelled in the light of our present chemical and pharmacological knowledge.
