This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Timothy Field Allen was born on April 24, 1837 in the village of Westminster, Vermont, United States. He was the son of Doctor David and Eliza (Graves) Allen.
Allen absorbed a love of nature which proved a vital factor in his later life. In those days the only profession that offered any opportunity for a born naturalist was that of medicine, hence Allen turned to it for a livelihood. He prepared for college at East Windsor Hill, Connecticut, and went from there to Amherst. Here he came under the stimulating influence of Edward Hitchcock, Charles U. Shepard, and W. S. Clark. He was graduated in 1858 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and went at once to New York, where he became a student in the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York (now New York University), receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1861.
Allen began the practise of medicine in Brooklyn, his career was interrupted by the Civil War, and he became acting assistant-surgeon in the United States Army at Point Lookout, Maryland. On being released from his duties there, he resumed his practise in Brooklyn, but in 1863 he removed to New York City, where he remained for the rest of his life.
After his establishment as a successful practitioner in New York, his activities extended into different fields and his achievements in each proved him a man of unusual ability. From 1867 on, he was professor of materia medica and therapeutics in the New York Homeopathic Medical College and from 1882 to 1893, he was dean of that institution. He was also one of the founders of the Torrey Botanical Club in 1871 and for many years was one of its vice-presidents.
In 1874, he began the publication of his most important work, an Encyclopedia of Materia Medica which extended to ten volumes. In the field of ophthalmic surgery his achievements were little less notable and in 1884 he became surgeon to the New York Ophthalmic Hospital. Later, his interest in that institution led to his being for some years president of its board of trustees. His volume on Ophthalmic Therapeutics (1876) is his chief publication in this field.
Soon after his establishment in New York, he became associated with the famous botanist, Doctor John Torrey, and for the remainder of his life botany was a major interest. The Torrey Botanical Club published in 1870-1876 a Flora of New York City to which he was one of the chief contributors. Soon after this he began to devote himself to the stoneworts (Characeæ), a group of curious fresh-water plants to which little attention had been paid in America.
