1698002656S. l. London: s. n. 1698. First Edition. Very good. First edition n. d. 1698 - place and date of publication from Wing; 11 1/4 x 7 1/4; pp. 1 2-4; laid paper printed and ruled in black; no wraps as published; spine strengthened with a thin strip of later paper; two small chips to fore-edge and upper right corner of first leaf; a few minor spots and light uniform age-toning; very good condition. One of the earliest works on a sensitive topic in late-17th-century England the publication discussed the subject of dispensaries vs. apothecaries the advantages of the former and the problems with the latter. Up until that point apothecaries dispensed medicines often risky and even dangerous pharmaceuticals and treated patients allegedly overcharging and overprescribing presenting themselves as genuine medical professionals despite the fact that they were not officially trained and approved by the College of Physicians. To stymy and undercut their competitors to break the apothecaries' monopoly and to show their goodwill the College Fellows set out to establish a dispensary in the summer of 1695 in Wasrwick Lane adjacent to the College. The intention was to provide outpatient medical treatment and advice to the sick poor. Shortly thereafter the services would become free of charge. The venture expanded and several more dispensaries were founded in short order including the above-mentioned one in St. Martin's Lane and another one in Gracechurch Street. Although controversial in itself the Dispensary Movement picked up speed and by 1800 around 40 were in operation across Britain. OCLC lists several copies in US institutions most of them on microfilm; none in the trade. ESTC R232139 s. n. paperback books

It is considered by many that English dissenters played a key role in the spiritual development of the United States.
