Having served as a military surgeon in India, where he also pursued
botanical research and investigated the efficacy of Hindu
medicines, John Forbes Royle (1798 1858) went on to become a
professor of materia medica at King's College, London.
Acknowledging the need for a thorough yet manageable textbook on
the subject, he published in 1847 this manual containing entries on
the medicinal substances derived from minerals, plants and animals
that were used in Britain at that time. The terminology, operations
and aims of pharmaceutical practice are also addressed, and the
differing preparations of the London, Edinburgh and Dublin
pharmacopoeias are taken into account for the benefit of students.
Furthermore, the work provides information on recently discovered
medicines, 'as may be seen among the Preparations of Iron and of
Gold, as well as in Matico, Indian Hemp, Bebeerine &c'."
