The London Dispensatory (1822)
'The London Dispensatory: ... A practical synopsis of materia medica, pharmacy, and therapeutics: illustrated with many useful tables, and copperplates...' by Anthony Todd Thomson. Third edition hardcover published in 1822, 957 pages + illustrated plates.
In overall fair condition with a lot of damage to the leather covers and staining and creasing to the preliminary and end pages as shown. The majority of the internals are in good order with only light staining, tanning, foxing, and some dogeared pages. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pages missing. There are openings in the binding in the front and back, but pages are not loose.
It measures approx. 22cm x 14cm x 6cm.
A fascinating book for anyone with an interest in the history of pharmacy/medicine/herbal cures.
Very scarce.
