" With respect to the Dictionary before ns, the relative
lualifications and tastes of the Authors seem to have been very
uppity applied to the formation of two copious and interesting
.alume3 of medical science. We would recommend these volumes
s not only a useful but a necessary appendage to the desk of every
/ender of drugs throughout the United Kingdom. We acknow-
ledge, however, that these volumes exhibit many excellent speci-
mens of analytical illustratior.s ; that they preserve a proper me
bunt between mere nomenclature explanations and tedious histo-
les of the different subjects; fiat they are perspicuous, concise,
satisfactory, and sufficiently copious, although copiousness of
terms is on of the most rare qualifications of most modern dic-
tionaries of science. Every art: :le, indeed, besides its derivative
signification, is neatly and accurately drawn up, and several of the
tharmaceutical tubjects are treated in a manner which proves the
;ushers to be vary well acquainted with some of the more abstruse
tended phenomena. The work indeed;as the authors observe,
. their preface, is wholly modern, and divested of the ancient ver-
atout the temperaments, which convey no distinct know-
:d e it embrates Al the late discoveries and most approved prac-
ice Of the ablest physi:ians of the last 30 or 40 years. lb a word,
:ale Dictionary, illustrated by nurr.erous well executed plates,
lust tend to diminish the temerity of the presumptninss empiric,
presenting hint with a general and luminous view of that nail-
ifarious science wh'elt he ignor-ntly dares to profess, while it will
.eve as 4 faithful tablet of memory to every regular practitioner,
'hose greatest pleasure consists in the speedy recovery or allevia-
nof his patients. The general want of such a comprehensive,
,ork is a ptestunptive proof of its utility."
