![VII added. The introduction of these facts and references, and the adoption of De Candolle's classification, give an entirely new- character to this part of the work. The notices of the appli- cations and uses of the plants or their products are necessarily brief, in accordance with the scope and purpose of the work ; they are given on the authority of the writers to whom refer- ence is made, by the letters G. (Gray), L. (Lindley), Q'Sh. (O'Shaughnessey), Loud. (Loudon), or, in other cases, by the name in full. The last part of the work comprehends the Formulas for the preparation of compounds employed in medicine, domestic economy, and the arts, together with mineral substances, and some animal and vegetable products. Besides all the formulae of the three British Pharmacopoeias, a selection is here given from the foreign Pharmacopoeias of various parts of the world, with the view of comprising those authorized processes most likely to prove useful to the prescriber or dispenser of medi- cines in this country. To these formulae, the authorization of which is indicated by explicit reference to the sources from whence they are derived, are added a great number of others for the preparation of substances either sold or used by the class of persons for whom the book is intended; many of these are now published for the first time, and relate to compounds for which there have hitherto been no good published formulae. An alphabetical arrangement has been adopted in this part of the work, as that best adapted to the nature of the matter. Finally, much pains have been taken in endeavouring to make the index complete and correct.
