Pharmacopoeias, Drug Regulation, and Empires
The word "pharmacopoeia" has come to have many meanings, although it is commonly understood to be a book describing approved compositions and standards for drugs. In 1813 the Royal College of Physicians of London considered a proposal to develop an imperial British pharmacopoeia – at a time when separate official pharmacopoeias existed for England, Scotland, and Ireland. A unified British pharmacopoeia was published in 1864, and by 1914 it was considered suitable for the whole Empire. Pharmacopoeias, Drug Regulation, and Empires traces the 350-year development of officially sanctioned pharmacopoeias across the British Empire, first from local to national pharmacopoeias, and later to a stan...
Pharmacopoeias and Related Literature in Britain and America, 1618-1847
Cowen has reproduced 13 articles originally published in journals between 1951 and 1987 not only to make them more accessible to scholars, but also to highlight a facet of medical history that he thinks has received too little attention: the material medica and pharmacotherapy that comprised the practice of medicine. They demonstrate the wide variety of materials--animal, vegetable, mineral, and chemical--that were used in medicine.

Drugs on the Page
In the early modern Atlantic World, pharmacopoeias—official lists of medicaments and medicinal preparations published by municipal, national, or imperial governments—organized the world of healing goods, giving rise to new and valuable medical commodities such as cinchona bark, guaiacum, and ipecac. Pharmacopoeias and related texts, developed by governments and official medical bodies as a means to standardize therapeutic practice, were particularly important to scientific and colonial enterprises. They served, in part, as tools for making sense of encounters with a diversity of peoples, places, and things provoked by the commercial and colonial expansion of early modern Europe. Drugs on...
