Remington, widely recognized as a cornerstone of pharmaceutical education, was first officially published in 1886. However, a rare 1885 edition also exists, offering a unique glimpse into the early development of this seminal work. This book, regarded as one of the most authoritative texts in the field, provides comprehensive coverage of topics such as drug formulation, compounding, pharmaceutical chemistry, and practical pharmacy operations. Over the years, the text has been continually revised to reflect advancements in science and technology, yet it remains true to its foundational purpose of educating and guiding pharmacists. The 1885 copy, predating the formal first edition, adds historical significance, marking an era when pharmacy was evolving into a more scientific and regulated profession. Remington’s work has left a lasting impact on both education and practice, solidifying its place as an essential resource for generations of pharmacists.
