This article examines the provenance of a 1769 copy of Nouvelle Anthologie Françoise. Evidence indicates that the flyleaf bears a bibliographical annotation written by the historian and bibliophile Louis Nicolas Jean Joachim de Cayrol. The note identifies Claude-Sixte Sautreau de Marsy, editor of the anthology, and appears to direct readers to a bibliographical reference in Barbier. Although the final reference has not yet been fully deciphered, the principal meaning of the inscription is now substantially understood.
The November 1897 issue of The New England Druggist offers a fascinating glimpse into the professionalization of pharmacy at the close of the nineteenth century. Published in Boston and owned by the Retail Pharmacists of New England, the journal combined legislative news, pharmacy board reports, professional commentary, and trade advertising directed toward working pharmacists. Particularly noteworthy is the issue's publication of the Twelfth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy, revealing examination statistics, candidate performance, and the increasingly rigorous standards of the profession. Rich with advertisements for pharmaceuticals, soda fountain equipment, chemicals, microscopes, and patent remedies, the publication serves as both a historical document and a valuable artifact of American medical and commercial history.
