Preface
"We have long been impressed with the idea that there is a
wide felt need in our country for a familiar treatise, in compact
form, and at a low price, that shall serve as a reliable guide
to the successful treatment of such ailments, diseases and accidents
as may be safely managed by any intelligent person without
the aid of a physician ; a work that should not pretend to
embrace all knowledge, or do away with the necessity of sometimes
calling a physician, for there are cases which require the
application of professional skill and large experience in their
treatment."
2. The Universal Herbal Or Botanical Medical And Agricultural Dictionary Thomas Green 1824 (928 pages)
This book lists every single herb in the world at the time of writing. Loads of plates, a beautiful book!
"THE obvious design of this work is to present the Botanist, Farmer, Gardener, and Country Housekeeper, with a
compendium of Botanical, Agricultural, and Medical knowledge, collected from the accumulated labours of the most
eminent authors, and hitherto only to be obtained in separate  and very voluminous publications.
From the Introduction, which immediately follows this Preface, the Botanist will at once perceive that the Linnean
Arrangement is exclusively adopted, not merely because it is most universal, but because, (to adopt the language of the
present acute and learned president of the Linnean Society, Sir J. E. Smith, M.D. F.R.S.)" Without wasting any words
on those speculative and fanciful changes, which the most ignorant may easily make in an artificial system ; and without
entering into controversy with the very few competent writers who have proposed any alterations, the discriminating
characters of the Linnean System are founded in nature and fact, and depend upon parts essential to every species of
plant, when in perfection ; and as the application of them to practice is, above all other systems, easy and intelligible;
nothing more useful can be done, than to perfect, upon our own principles, any parts of this system, which experience may
shew to have been originally defective."
3. The Complete Herbalist Dr. O. Phelps Brown 1878 (518 pages)
"In presenting this work on Crude Organic Remedies—the Constituents
of Plants, and their Official Preparations—I do not propose to "run a tilt" against any of the systems of Medical Practice, however
much some of them may be opposed to common sense and reason, and
to the Divine ordinances of Nature ; nor shall I treat with contempt
the teachings and practices of great and wonderful names, or oppose
the pride, interest, expectation, and conscientious convictions of a
learned, honorable, and influential profession ; my object is simply to
present many new and curious, if not startling facts, not only well
worthy of the earnest consideration of the more intelligent portion of
ihe community, who demand reasons the most profound to lead them
to conviction of a Truth, but of the great mass of humbler people,
who desire, amid all the great Reforms in human society, above all
things to secure a " sound mind in a sound body," and to feel something
of that exalted state of happiness which alone can arise from the possession
of the most robust and rubicund physical and moral Health."
4. The English Physician With Three Hundred And Sixty Nine Medicines Made From English Herbs Dr. Parkings 1809 (440 pages)
 A very interesting book and if you take a look at the inside cover (picture left) there is a newspaper report of violet preparations curing cancer in 1906.
"I now enjoy the heartfelt satisfaction of laying
before you a new and elegant improvement of
Culpeper's Herbal, which work having gone
through such a vast number of editions, will, I
trust, prove a sufficient recommendation in respect
to its great utility and benefit to the public at
large, with the addition of some elegant Plates, in
order to enable you to know the various and different
kinds of Herbs when you see them. We have
likewise taught you to know the true nature of
each plant, in respect to the temperament of the
same."
5. Learn How To Use Herbal Medicine To Protect Disease Before It Strikes 2007 (82 pages)
Far from a classic but it contains useful information and herbal remedies for a great many day to day ailments such as sore throats, headaches and the like.
"Herbs are plants used in medicine. Natural healing has come to denote any type
of natural means used to aid in healing. Although most herbal remedies are from
plants, there are some that are mineral or animal products as well. Herbal
medicine is also called phytotherapy, the science of using herbal remedies to
treat illnesses.
People have been using herbs for hundreds of years to treat all types of illnesses
and symptoms. Throughout history we can find examples from many cultures of
their use of herbal remedies. The ancient Egyptians used herbs in healing and in
ceremonies as well. There are hieroglyphics that depict the use of herbs on
some ancient walls. In ancient China, herbs were an important part of healing
and still are used in traditional Chinese medicine."
