Vlth HUNGARIAN PHARMACOPOEIA Edited by B. LÁNG As we live in a period of international integration of sciences, it is an essential requirement that important national sources of information should be made available for international utilization. Such sources are, in medicine and pharmacy, the National Pharmacopoeias, which permit insight into the pharmaceutical culture of nations. In the history of the Hungarian Pharmacopoeia, its fifth edition in 1954 was of a paramount importance, since it first took into consideration the points of industrialization of pharmacy, besides pharmaceutical compounding on smallscale. The sixth edition has been fully based on this conception: in addition to simple ‘‘rapid informative methods”, easy to perform in any pharmacy, ample space has been provided for the most modern instrumental procedures of physical anfl chemical analysis and biological evaluation. Thus, this work is indispensable for pharmacologists, pharmaceutical factories and for health authorities exercizing control activity. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ BUDAPEST
