Excerpt from Chronicles of Pharmacy, Vol. 1In modern dispensatories the ever increasing accumu lation of chemical, botanical, histological, and therapeutic notes has tended to crowd out the historic paragraphs which brightened the older treatises. Perhaps this result is inevitable, but it is none the less to be regretted on account of both the student and the adept in the art of pharmacy. I have always thought, wrote Ferdinand Hoefer in the Introduction to his still valuable History of Chemistry that the best method of popular ising scientific studies, generally so little attractive, consists in presenting, as in a panorama, the different phases a science has passed through from its origin to its present condition. No science nor, indeed, any single item of knowledge, can be properly appreciated apart from the records of its evolution, and it is as important to be acquainted with the errors and mislead ing theories which have prevailed in regard to it, as with the steps by which real progress has been made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
