"  Resolved  unanimously,  That  the  report  now  read  be
received  and  approved,  and  that  the  same  be  printed  and
circulated  as  widely  as  possible  among  the  Chemists  and
Druggists  and  all  other  persons  who  vend  poisons  or  poisonous
drugs  throughout  the  United  Kingdom."

In  the  year  1824  another  edition  of  the  London  Pharmaco-
poeia was  published,  and  Sir  George  Tuthill  produced  the
English  translation.  On  this  occasion  Mr.  Phillips,  instead
of  repeating  his  strictures  on  the  work  of  the  College,  gave
a  specimen  of  his  own  performance  in  "  A  Translation,  with
Notes  and  Illustrations,"  which  he  published  shortly  after
that  of  Sir  George  Tuthill.  The  merit  of  this  work  was
appreciated  by  the  College,  as  would  appear  from  the  subse-
quent appointment  of  Mr.  Phillips  as  the  official  translator  of
the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1836.
Dr.  A.  T.  Thomson's  "  London  Dispensatory  "  appeared  in
the  year  1814,  and  has  undergone  a  succession  of  improve-
ments and  amplifications  up  to  the  present  time.  The  fame
and  merits  of  the  work  are  too  well  known  to  require  any
particular  notice  ;  it  comprehends  in  one  volume  a  sufficiently
ample  account  of  all  the  substances  comprised  in  the  Materia
Medica,  a  very  useful  explanation  of  the  science  of  Chemistry,
as  applied  to  Pharmacy,  a  compendium  of  the  three]Pharma-
copceias,  with  copious  notes,  and  a  list  of  substances  incom-
patible with  others  in  extemporaneous  prescriptions.  The
tenth  edition  has  lately  been  announced.
The  Committee  of  the  Druggists'.' Association  of  1802  met
in  the  year  1829,  in  consequence  of  the  vexatious  proceedings


72        ASSOCIATION   OF   CHEMISTS   AND   DRUGGISTS,    1829.
