About This Item
Boston: Cummings and Hilliard (Oakland: Octavo), 1817-1820; 2004. 1st edition. Other Binding. New/No Jacket (as issued). New digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc) of the work published in three volumes between 1817 and 1820. A pioneering survey of the medical uses of herbs in North America, it has also been credited as the first color-printed book published in the United States. Bigelow gives detailed accounts of sixty plants in use in medicine at the time, many of which are still used in homeopathic and other medical treatments. This Octavo Edition contains detailed digital images of the original (may be magnified at up to 300% of original size) as well as a new introduction by Philip Weimerskirch and bibliographical details. "Having such an important text reproduced in such excellent quality is an outstanding achievement and the very reasonable price will make this text available to many interested readers."--Journal of Ethnopharmacology, September 2004.
