    The authors may perhaps be permitted to observe, in relation to themselves, that they have expended much time and labour in the preparation of the work; have sought diligently for facts from every readily accessible source; have endeavoured, by a comparison of authorities, and a close scrutiny of evidence, to ascertain the truth whenever practicable; and have exerted themselves to the extent of _ their abilities to render the Dispensatory worthy of public approbation, both for the quality and quantity of its contents, and the general ac- curacy of its statements. They are conscious, nevertheless, that in so great a multiplicity of details numerous errors and deficiencies may exist, and that the faults of undue brevity in some cases, and prolixity in others, may not have been entirely avoided: but they venture to _ hope that a candid public will make all due allowances; and they ” take the liberty to invite from all those who may feel interested in the ‘diffusion of sound pharmaceutical knowledge, the communication of friendly suggestions or criticisms in relation to the objects and execu- tion of the work. | Philadelphia, January, 1833.
