    another, then the prefix of the College in whose list it appears is attached to the name, and the reader is referred to the same article among the preparations in Part III., where, under the same head, the other prefixes will be found, indicating that it is not only made officinal by these latter Colleges, but processes for the preparation have likewise been given by them, which are there inserted. In Part III., which contains all the officinal preparations of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Colleges, the greatest alterations have been made, rendered necessary by the appearance of the new Pharmacopoeias. As the value of a Dispensatory, both to the medical practitioner and also to the dispenser, depends upon its accuracy, the Editor has spared no pains to render this part of the work correct, so that it may be appealed to with confidence; and although aware of the great difficulty existing, on account of the discrepancies in names, compositions, &c. of various preparations in the three Pharmacopoeias, he trusts he will not be found to have fallen far short in effecting his object. The alterations in the Ap- pendix chiefly consist in the addition of a short article on Elec- tricity and a collection of tables, many of them derived from Part I. in former editions. In conclusion, the Editor hopes that the pre- sent edition of the London Dispensatory will not be found unworthy of that confidence which, for so many years, has been bestowed upon its predecessors. 63.
