It provided methodical descriptions of mineral, plant and animal substances. In the following years, Guibourt became a member of the Acadmie nationale de mdicine and a professor at the cole de pharmacie in Paris. Pharmaceutical knowledge also progressed considerably as new methods and classifications emerged. For this revised and enlarged four-volume fourth edition, published between 1849 and 1851, Guibourt followed the principles of modern scientific classification. For each substance, he describes the general properties as well as their medicina.
