In consequence of my distance from the press, several errors and omissions will be found in the course of the Work; these I have endeavoured to correct and supply by an exact list of Errata, and by a short Appendix, which I trust will, in some measure, excuse for such deficiency and neglect. From the circumstance that much of my Work was struck off previous to the London College having announced their intention of re-publishing their Pharmacopoeia, I have been necessarily obliged to retain the names and appellations of their former one—where any individual article, however, occur- ring in the Materia Medica, is offered as serving any general surgical intention, I have given it from the first, under the character both of the Edinburgh and London Pharmacopoeia, in order to render the difference of names as familiar as possi- ble. I have likewise added an Index of the old and new names; also a general Index of the several for- mulas adopted by our London College, as well to meet the wishes and intentions of that learned body, as to promote any general improvements connected with Medical and Chirurgical Science.
