Nineteenth-Century British Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals - Volume III: Drugs – From Plant Remedy to Pharmaceutical

This volume will focus on the locations in which pharmacy was practised and how practice varied with location. The emphasis will be on chemists’ shops in the community and the emergence of chain pharmacies after 1880. It will also include primary sources illustrating the practice of pharmacy in military and naval hospitals, in prisons dispensaries, and in a wide range of voluntary and municipal hospitals and sanatoria, drawing on both national and local archival sources. Relevant sources will also be included relating to the activities of pharmacists employed in schools of pharmacy, colleges, and universities.
