Pharmacopoeias, Drug Regulation, and Empires. Making Medicines Official in Britain’s Imperial World, 1618–1968, Paperback/Stuart Anderson

Pharmacopoeias – books describing approved standards and composition of drugs – have come in many shapes and forms throughout the history of medicine. Stuart Anderson traces the 350-year development of “official” pharmacopoeias across the British Empire, from the local to national scale, and later to a single pharmacopoeia across imperial Britain.
