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.
