The French pharmacist Nicolas Jean-Baptiste Gaston Guibourt
(1790-1867) first published this work in two volumes in 1820. It
provided methodical descriptions of mineral, plant and animal
substances. In the following years, Guibourt became a member of the
Academie nationale de medicine and a professor at the Ecole de
pharmacie in Paris. Pharmaceutical knowledge also progressed
considerably as new methods and classifications emerged. For this
revised and enlarged four-volume fourth edition, published between
1849 and 1851, Guibourt followed the principles of modern
scientific classification. For each substance, he describes the
general properties as well as their medicinal or poisonous effects.
Illustrated throughout, Volume 1 (1849) begins with an introduction
that clarifies Guibourt's approach to pharmaceutical science. The
volume then goes on to describe the properties of minerals.
