" Those who judge for themselves will not have to go deeply into Dr. Recce's writings before they shall find him a man of thorough and scientific attainments, highly esteemed by the profession, except for his excessive candour."—Monthly Review for January, 1831. This work is composed chiefly for those who wish to attain a com petent knowledge of medicine for the ordinary necessities of themselves, 4,f their families, or for the benevolent purpose of alleviating the suf ferings of their fellow-creatures. For the purpose of aiding the medi cal sagacity and skill of private, and particularly of clerical benevo lence, this work is very judiciously adapted. It is not only a plain and useful directory, but it has, at the same time, the great advantage of being more cheap, more commodious, and more portable than any similar work with which we are acquainted, that details the modern practice of physic. It is more judicious than the Domestic Medicine of Buchan. which, we have no doubt, it will entirely supersede. By at. tending to its instructions, the clergyman, or resident of a retired vil lage may, in common cases of illness, be enabled to do much good at 3 small expanse."—Critical Review, April. " The present edition of this very useful work is dedicated to the venerable Bishop of Llandaff, in consequence of the high terms is which his Lordship had recommended it when it first appeared before the public. It is clear, comprehensive, and calculated to answer all the purposes of domestic reference. The part which treats on the dis eases of children we recommend to the serious perusal of all parents and others who may be intrusted with the management of children in the first stages of life.”—Aati-Jacobin Review, May. Dr. Reece's Medical Guide is decidedly the best work that has been published for domestic reference."—Lancet. " Dr. Reece's Medical Guide is a living book ; it is all alive from beginning to end. Every page—atay, every paragraph, abounds In age :..l practical information. As a book of popular instruction relative to mediet., and the prevention and cure ofd.m.e, we cannot wonder teat it has superseded the Tissots and Buchans, who were formerly the medical oracles of the people. If wisdom be preferable to ignorance—if kr.terlulge be power—if cotemporary merit can be divested of envy,— thva it will be the duty of all to aid in the circulation of Dr. Reeuesi *ork, and to confer on the author the fair distinction to which useful hoerurs ate always entitled."—firiental Herald, December, 1828. This edition, containing a copious description of all the new vane dlo. kr.. we can, cordially recommend. It embraces the practical part ! medicine. without the superfluous Marius with width most of the Ivints of physic are loaded."--Athennum, April, 1828. ?noted tur Longman, Rees, Omte, Brown, and Green.

Si a—ln hopes that all parents will try the same remedy, I have thought it my duty to inform you that your Golden Balm has wrought the greatest wonder in my Child, aged 7 months, in taking one bottle only. I cannot describe the agony she endured from her gums before its use. Night after night she deprived me of rest by constant crying, and nothing seemed to give her a motrient'e ease, and I was often afraid she would expire in convulsion fits. Her gums were very hard, and much swelled and inflamed. She had wasted away to a mere shadow. But,;Sir, only judge of my astonishment ! A few drops rubbed on ha gums gave her immediate ease. I applied it two or three times a day always with the same effect ; her bowels, which were very costive, be came regulated ; and I thank God the child Is fast recovering its flesh, and strength. She has since cut two teeth with considerable ease. Is writing this I perform a duty I owe to you and the public. Your humble servant, Witness, Sarah Hanford. MARY CARTER.

LITERATURE. The History and Topography of the United Slates, illustrated with views. By John Howard Hinton,A.At. SIMPNDI AND lialtsmau.. When an Englishman views the pictorial representation of buildings and objects of art which adorn a foreign coun try, he may feel his curiosity and taste gratified ; but that Englishman who can view the plates which are to be found in the work now before us, of architectural objects in the United States, and not feel something more than a mere gratification of taste and curiosity, must be either too igno rant or too apathetic to deserve much regard. Can he for get that the buildings he sees have been reared by the chil dren of adventurous fellow-countrymen —the most of whom 72ted not to disseminate cruelty and all kinds of uncha -I:ness, but to carry the blessings of Christianity into a new world, and live in the enjoyment of those opinions which their conscience emboldened them fearlessly to maintain. Can he remember these facts—can he reflect that the Frank line, the Washingtons, the Jeffersons, and the Adams and the Jacksons, are all in fact but Englishmen, born accidentally out of the country—and not feel his heart glow with alt the pride of self-congratulatory patriotism. And yet, strange to say, England has been at war with America--may such an unnatural civil war never be again the result of a bungling state policy, for that policy must be false which sets brother against brother. The work which has suggested these remarks, is pub lishing in numbers at 34 ; each of which contains three well executed engravings in steel of views and public buidings, in the United States, and three sheets of letter-press. The few numbers, which we have had an opportunity to peruse, are principally historical. A general sketch is first given of the discovery of America, and then a history of the settlement of the different States. It is intended that the work shall comprise the Political and Biographical His tory, Geography, Geology, Mineralogy, Zoology, and Bo tany, Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce ; Lau h, Manners, Customs, and Religions. As far as we can guess by the specimens already published;Mr. Hinton is fully ade quate (to the execution of the literary parts of the under taking, and the artists employed appear likewise of a supe rior order. All the plates are not perhaps quite equal, hut none are deficient of beauty. We recommend the work t • i all who are inclined to sneer at our transatlantic• country men ; for if we mistake not, they will acknowledge that ar chitectural taste is displayed as much in the United Suites, as even in the mother country. A Statement of Facie, connected with the Present State of Slavery in the British Sugar and Coffee Colonies. By JOHN GLADSTONE, Esq. ii. BALDWIN AND CHADOCI. Among the many interesting and important subjects which are expected to come under consideration, and to be fully discussed in the pre ent session of Parliament, per haps none wi►l command greater attention than the propo .,ition to abolish Slavery in our Sugar and Coffee Colonies, so as not to destroy them. The emancipation is loudly called fo;-, and under the influence of certain popular leaders, gio reiigioua public have been greatly excited, it becomes therefore a duty to examine into the true state and merni of the question, and not to commit injustice while we a:e removing a great and acknowledged evil. We must be al. lowed to say, that nothing can be more repugnant to our feelings, than the idea of property of man in man ; and we think the error of habit is in the slave proprietors, and not in those who cherish a state of free labour. He pro ceeds thus : " Unfortunately," says the author, " they look at this question in the abstract only ; they begin with the abhorrence of slavery, as op posed to a love of freedom existing in this favoured land ; they drag their inferences against the first as repugnant to the laws of nature and the habits of civilised life, whilst they are unacquainted with the negsu character, and the state of society in these colonies; they treat the sub ject as if the question now were, whether, or not, slavery ought to be one of choice, and not as a state of subordination which has existcsi for so long a period of time, that in these colonies it has become itakr woven with their cultivation and existence ; that it has not only been authorized and protected, but encouraged by acts of the British legit. lature at various periods of Its existence, by which the planters have acquired in their people the right of property ; property as effectually sanctioned and secured to them by the law of the land as any freehold estate in Great Britain can be to its owner, " I think it must be admitted that in all countries situated within the tropics, where society is formed of the aboriginal inhabitants, it has been found existing either under a despotic form of government, where slavery has ever prevailed in its worst forms and effects, or in a state of savage life,--in both, the extreme beat and relaxing influence of the climate produce in the Inhabitants a disposition to indolence and an aversion to labour; there, nature yields in prolific abundance all that Is required to provide for the common necessaries of life, with little exertion on their part ; and, as compared with the state of the In habitants of colder climates, their wants are few, and almost confined to food, with slight clothing, whilst they are either unacqualated with, or do not desire to possess, the refinements and luxuries of Europe, or of the colder climates of the East." Good GOD ! is not this a reason why daily slavery under the whip should not be imposed in such countries ? He then adds— "lt is well known, that the negroes will not work in the field from choice. Such Is their aversion to out-door work, that it is un derstood no instance can Le found,:in thew colonies,of free negroes being induced to labour in the field for hire : on the conttary, they submit, in preference, to every privation, and are often so inconsiderate in their general conduct, that when they an procure the means they pass their time in idleness and dissi,litlon. He then drives us upon BEET Hoerr by the following statement : .• • " Could free labour, sellielent for every branch of cultivation. be ob tabard fur hire, with a dependance opal its rostinuatice, it vicold be decidedly for the interest of the photer to prefer it, for even though the price might be high, it must be greatly so, before it could amount to the heavy expense of the present system ; but, duce ezpoience has shown, that no depsodauce can be placed on a regular supply, and that when the canes were plated, people might not be found to reap them, such a system would nriessarily be followed by the abandonment and extincdon of cultivation," " I will proceed." says Mr. G. "to consider the ploposirinns that have been made for artist's at the result. And, first, it has been pro posed that all the chWen born in slavery should be tree after a given eerly period. nh leads to the inquiry bow such a measure is to be carried into effect r' To IA bich we briefly reply, " where there is a will there is a way." If adopted, and the children properly educated, they will make free labourers, just like the natives of all countries, if duly recompensed. " It is also," says Mr. G. " well deserving of consideration, whe ther the thus giving freedom to the children would not powerfully ex cite the minds and feelings of the adult staves. Would they not be disposed to contepd, that their rights or claims to release were alike strong with those of their children . Would not an impatient desire of freedom be the inirnediate consequence ? And, being withheld, would theyinot be induCed to endeavour to procure it by force and insurrection ? " Those who doubt the indispositimi to labour that forms so pro. minest a feature in the negro character, I would refer to the experi ments that have been made, and the experience that has been gained. from the measures adopted by the directioo of government : first, with the American slaves, who were rousad t by our proclamations, to insur rection in the southern states during tbe• last wax, when massy of them were in consequence taken off by our cruisers, and' sent to Trinidad and the Bahamas, where they were granted their freedom ; and, next, to those captured by our ships of war, in foreign 'fifth which were engaged in an illegal tragic, and who were sent, some to Antigua, and some to the Bahamas. In Trinidad every inducement to Influence them to work, either on plantatiOns, as wood -cutters, or otherwise, for their own undivided benefit, was offered to them in vain. In Antigua and the Bahamas attempts were made to bind them apprentices and rear them as tradesmen, which wee generally, equally unsuccessful. The Government, in these Islands, is now obliged to support them, and the greater part of their time is known to be passed in idleness and profligacy." On these points the public would seek very precise infor mation--Mr. G.-gives no details, and he is a partisan. .4 I require it to be admitted, he says, that it is vain to expect, and impossible to depend upon, the Wand free negro* in the field ; and that without a certain and regular supply of labour, it is equally Im possible to cagy an the cultivation of these colonies which would in that case be abandoned, and given over to the pommel= .of the nerves. to the utter ruin of the proprietors, unless they be compensated by the State." -- --- This appears to us to be the real difficulty. Our course has been so vicious, that we have, it seems, a great debt to pay in the West Indies as well as at the Bank of England ! The proprietors ought not to be ruined, more than the merchants, destroyed in the panic ought to have been rained—though it was so I—This debt to justice and humanity he values at some proportion of one hundred millions. If 50 millions of 3 per cents. would reconcile all interests, we are persuaded the petitioners would themselves concede that sum, or 1,500,0001. per annum—viz half the duty on snuff and to bacco, rather than slavery should continue. Three millions have signed petitions, and we are persuaded they would one and all rather pay 10e. per iinnum, than suffer the continu ance of slavery. In this concession lies the whole question —will the petitioners buy the freedom of the blacks of their proprietors for 10s. each per annum ? We answer for them —Yes ! And if they did not say vas, we should pronounce them Pharisees and hypocrites As friends to indemnity, while we demand emancipation, Mr. G. will not be offended, if we advise him, in his loom edition, to omit the following paragraph :—" I humbly con ceive, it i s not for in to attempt to say when a system slatiold terminate whitik ALMIGHTY GOD, id the divine wisdom of his over-ruling providence, has seen fit so permit iticertain climates, since the origin and forma-tion of society in this world." •
