After training as an apothecary and surgeon, Jonathan Pereira
(1804-53) taught materia medica for many years. His lectures at the
medical school in London's Aldersgate Street were highly successful
and formed the basis for the first edition of his major
encyclopaedic work on medicinal substances. A pioneering text in
the field of pharmacology, Pereira's work, which he subsequently
updated in further editions, provided pharmacists and medical
professionals with a more rigorous scientific understanding of the
drugs and remedies they prescribed. After Pereira's death, medical
jurist Alfred Swaine Taylor (1806-80) and physician George Owen
Rees (1813-89) prepared this revised and expanded fourth edition,
interspersed with instructive woodcuts. Volume 2 is divided into
two parts. Part 2 (1857) contains new articles, additional
illustrations and a separate index. It concludes the analysis of
organic compounds, both vegetable and animal.
