Abstract
The history of pharmacy in Britain remains an under-researched field of study. Although it has received some attention from medical as well as pharmaceutical historians, discussion of significant events in the history that pharmacy shares with medicine—which include the 1617 foundation of the Society of Apothecaries, the 1704 Rose Case, and the 1815 Apothecaries Act—usually place greater emphasis on their implications for medicine than for pharmacy, which are often neglected or ignored.
