Excerpt from The Family Flora and Materia Medica Botanica, Vol. 1: Containing the Botanical Analysis, Natural History, and Chemical and Medical Properties and Uses of PlantsIN preparing the work now given to the public, the earnest endeavor of the writer has been to produce a book which would be both read and studied, not only by those devoted to the medical profession, but by those also who, without the stimulus of professional predilections, have simply the desire of attaining the knowledge of medical plants, in order to the safe and effectual administration of them. He wished to make it what its title indicates, A Botanical Materia Medica. He designed it not so much for those who devote their lives to its study and practice, as for all others, who would make its general acquaintance an interesting object of study, which, on account of its extensive bearings upon the social and family interests, is so important and necessary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
