Culpeper's British Herbal and Family Physician in Book talk (März 2015)
Rezensionen
"... with three hundred and sixty and nine medicines made of English herbs that were not in any impression until this etc. "
This lovely reprint of the 1814 London Edition of Culpeper's Complete Herbal was first published in the US in July 1944 (from the description in the front of the book). It's a beautiful book, and although I doubt I'd use the medical advice in the book, the descriptions on how to save and preserve various herbs, and the sketches of plants and leaves, are still useful.
