Excerpt from The British Flora Medica, or History of the Medicinal Plants of Great BritainThe immediate design of this work is, to furnish an accurate description of all the medicinal plants indigenous to Britain, which appear entitled to that character, from the estimation in which they were held by the greatest and most skilful of the old physicians. That they were generally correct in their judgement is apparent from the fact, that several of the plants which they recommended have been allowed to sink in oblivion, and after many years' neglect, have again been successfully used by modern practitioners. This is well exemplified in the history of Foxglove, the more prominent effects of which were fully understood in the sixteenth century it was admitted into the London Pharmacopoeia in 1725, discarded in 1746, and has lately been restored with more than its pristine honours. How many more blest secrets of the earth remain yet to be discovered, it is impossible to predict, but if these pages should succeed in calling attention to one such plant, the labours of the Authors will be abundantly recompensed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
