Abstract
IN the first edition of this work, published in 1903, Prof. Karsten explained his object to be the provision of a text-book that should treat pharmacognosy from a botanical point of view, and, considered in this light, it must be admitted that his object was successfully attained. But the second edition has more ambitious pretensions; it is intended to present a “clear survey of pharmacognosy and to introduce the young pharmacist to the varied provinces of that science.”
