Abstract
(1) THE principles involved and the apparatus used in the various pharmaceutical processes are simply explained in the first part of vol. 1 of “The Science and Practice of Pharmacy”. Change of state, solution, osmotic pressure, etc., are treated with the minimum of reference to the physicochemical principles upon which a proper understanding must be based. In fact, the whole work has been written on the assumption that students receive adequate training in the cognate sciences. In view of the undoubted difficulty that students experience in correlating various parts of knowledge, it is a moot point whether it is wise to dissociate the ‘pure’ from the ‘applied’ to such an extent.
