This is a history of apothecaries in Virginia. It discusses everything from the equipment found in an apothecaries shop, to their role in the American Revolution, and even contains a list of all the known apothecaries that practiced in Williamsburg.

The book, "" The Apothecary in Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg; Being an Account of his medical and chirurgical Services, as well as of his trade Practices as a Chymist "", has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.
