Practical pharmacy: The arrangements, apparatus, and manipulations, of the pharmaceutical shop and laboratory.

Publication Details

London: Taylor, Walton & Maberly, 1849 CE.

This was a translation and adaptation for the British market of Mohr's Lehrbuch der pharmaceutischen Technik, also published in 1849. It is thus the first textbook of pharmacy in English.

Though Redwood made it clear in the preface that this was an adapted translation from the German, the publisher appears to have found it expedient to "Anglicize Karl Friedrich Mohr's name to Francis Mohr.
