Abstract
THE general excellence of this standard work, which first appeared in 1903, is maintained throughout the second edition, and its usefulness is increased by the addition of a valuable section on adulterants and another on the practical examination of unknown powders. Other new subjects which have been Introduced include notes on saffron and gentian, liquorice and calumba roots, and a description of a method of preparing fibres for cutting transverse sections. Otherwise no change has been made in the method of treating the subject-matter; and, indeed, none was necessary.
