The hyper-text version of... A Modern Herbal, first published in 1931, by Mrs. M. Grieve, contains Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation and Folk-Lore of Herbs. Written in the early part of the last century, with advice that is both timely and historical.
The website is divided in the following cathegories:
- Plant & Herb Index More than 800 varieties of herbs & plants (you can search only by common name).
- Index of Recipes A listing of 29 plants that include recipes.
- Index of Poisons A listing of 44 plants that are listed as poisonous.
- Measures Converter (including Imperial to Metric!!! :-o).
- Shorter Medical Dictionary - Poisons & Antidotes (Information of Stedman's Shorter Medical Dictionary by T. L. Stedman, M.D., Wilcox & Follett Co., 1942)
They state that:
"Bear in mind it was written with the conventional wisdom of the early 1900's. This should be taken into account as some of the information may now be considered inaccurate, or not in accordance with modern medicine."
