1817I14D1P7W8M5HLondon 1817. 12mo. Longman Hurst Rees Orme and Brown colophon: printed by G. Woodfall Contemporary half calf title label on spine marbled sides. XXXVI 198 pp. "Editio altera" of the seventh edition of the London pharmacopoeia. The sixth edition of 1788 had been the first edition influenced by enlightenment science including the adoption of Linnaeus's system of binomial plant nomenclature. In the seventh edition of 1809 more recent insights were incorporated which had often appeared earlier in the Edinburgh and Dublin pharmacopoeias. The modern French chemical nomenclature based on the work of Lavoisier was finally incorporated and several other nomenclatures were reviewed and replaced. Nevertheless the use of nomenclature and weights and the contents of recipes in the pharmacopoeia were heavily criticized. The most outspoken critique came from the London chemist Richard Phillips 1778-1851 who in an 1810 review citized 73 recipes and found 20 ambiguous measurements. Several of Philips's suggestions as well as those of other commentators were adopted for a revised edition which appeared in 1815 but nevertheless contained numerous errors. The 1815 edition was reprinted in 1816 1817 1818 1821 and 1823.With a contemporary annotation on the back flyleaf and a second loosely inserted. Some spotting throughout; binding worn most notably at the hinges; a good copy.l Bell Historical sketch of the progress of pharmacy in Great Britain pp. 41-43; Wellcome IV p. 364; Worldcat 3 copies. unknown

Rare indeed. <br/><br/>¶ Title leaf cites Biblical verse Matt. VI 28 29 30 which reads in part: "28 Why are you anxious about clothes Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. 29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. 30 If God so clothes the grass of the field which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow will he not much more provide for you O you of little faith" Although no author nor compiler is given within the present offering corresponds to other similar such works attributed to German missionary and cabinet-maker Ferdinand Vester see references above who had moved to Jerusalem in 1853 to join the Swiss-German Mission. Accordingly the present work may have been the result of his collaboration with the efforts of the London Jews' Society's' "House of Industry" an Anglican missionary society located at Christ Church Jerusalem which offered vocational training to Jewish boys in various trades such as carpentry turnery shoemaking etc. The products produced by these boys would in-turn be sold to other missionaries or as religious souvenirs to passing tourists or those migrating to the West. Vester's son Frederick would carry on his father's business later marrying Bertha Spafford herself the daughter of the founder of the American Colony in Jerusalem Horatio Gates Spafford and his Norwegian wife Anne Tobine Larsen Øglende.
