Cyclopædia of Practical Medicine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cyclopædia of Practical Medicine was a British monthly medical journal, first published in 1832. It was divided into alphabetical articles, and came to four volumes, part-published and then completed by 1835. The volumes were:

  1. Abd–Ele (1832);[1]
  2. Eme–Isc (1833);[2]
  3. Jau–Sma (1834);[3]
  4. Sof–Yaw (1835).[4]

It was announced with the co-operation of a large number of practising physicians, and with the intention of producing an adapted American edition by Carey & Lea.[5] The editors were John Conolly, John Forbes, and Alexander Tweedie; historical notes were added, by John Bostock and William Pulteney Alison. A later American edition was edited by Robley Dunglison.[6] Contributors to the first edition included James Lomax Bardsley, , Thomas Harrison Burder, , John Cheyne, James Clark, Charles Locock, James Cowles Prichard, Peter Mark Roget, and Charles James Blasius Williams.[7]

The rival was a project of James Copland, launched by part-publishing in 1832.[8]
