A highly important and interesting meeting of the merchants and manufacturers of Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham shires, took place yesterday at Derby, for the purpose of taking into consideration the existing commercial distress, and to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the immediate and total re peal of the Corn and Provision-laws. At eleven o'clock the Delegates assembled to the number of nearly 1,000 in the Lancasterian School, which was crowded in every part, and the meeting, we understand, represented the great bulk of the manufacturing and commercial wealth of the surrounding districts There were also present Sir John Easthope, M.P. for Leicester ; Sir G. De Hor sey Larpent, M.P., Nottingham; Ed. Strutt, M.P., Derby ; Joseph Strutt, M.P.; Dr. Bowring, M.P.; Richard Cob den, M.P.; W. Evans, M.P. From Nottingham—Aldermen Heard, Frearson, Her bert, Shipman, Vickers, and Judd, Rev. IL Hunter, and Messrs. - Bean, T. Wakefield, F. Wakefield, Forth, J. Bradley, Astill, Carver, Parkin, Galloway, Roberts, J. Biirton, W. 'Taylor, J. Dunn, ecc. From Leicester.—J. Stokes, Esq. (Mayor), Messrs. J. and W. Biggs, R. Harris, F. Angrave, E. Dewson, T. F. Paget, .T. Clarke, W. Eames, J. Eames, andßurgess. Of Derby.—Stephen Gamble, Esq. (Mayor), Messrs. J. Strutt, John Strutt, Anthony B. Strutt, and F. Strutt, R. Longdon, N. Gisborne, F. Hill, W. Taylor, J. and F. Peat, W. Morley, F. Morley, and the Rev. J. Gawthorne. From Loughborough.—Messrs. Warner, J. White, and T. Cartwright. Mr. Dean Taylor, the Chartist lecturer, was also pre sent, and several influential gentlemen from Birmingham, Manchester, and other more remote parts of the country. On the motion of Mr. Ihcos, of Leicester, seconded by Mr. WAKEFIELD, of Nottingham, JOHN 'Leen, Esq„ of Nottingham, one of the most extensive manufacturers of the midland districts, was called to the Chair amidst loud and general acclamations. The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, it was not until my arrival here this morning that I had the least expectation of being called upon to fill the high and honourable situation you have now called me to. I am, therefore, totally unprepared to fulfil its duties, or to make any speech or observations which such an occasion naturally calls for. Still, as I am come impressed, as I believe every one now present is, with th e impolicy, the wickedness, and the ruinous consequences of the present Corn and Pro vision-laws, I cannot but accede to your request, and en deavour to discharge the duties you have imposed upon me to the best of my ability.--(Hear.) I believe the par ticular object Air which we are assembled together, is to consider the effect produced by the Corn and Provision laws on the manufacturing interests and trade of these midland counties. On this subject, therefore, it will be much better, and more correct, that the gentlemen who are to address the meeting should speak, even if I were able to do so. This, however, I am convinced of, that, under no circumstances or situation, can the Corn and Provision-laws be a benefit to the country. True, if the country was capable of producing a much larger quantity of food than could be consumed, such laws might-be inoperative, and be deprived of much of their baneful effects ; but while the population is increasing, while we know the land cannot increase, and when we have arrived at that position, that it cannot by possibi lity produce all the food we require for the convenience and comfort of the people, such laws are injurious and decidedly bad, and those only who are blessed by Provi dence with property, will be able to escape the effect of these laws, which press with great severity upon those who are unable to purchase them at these high prices.— (Hear.) I shall not enter further upon the subject, but call upon a large manufacturer of Leicester, Mr. Biggs, to move the first resolution. Mr. W. Blocs, of Leicester, then came forward, and addressed the meeting as follows :—I propose to substantiate the correctness of all the proposi tions contained in the resolution I have the ho nour to move, by showing the gradual progress in the reduction in the wages of labour to the extent of nearly one-half since 1815; by the number of failures and bankruptcies among manufacturers; by the depreciated value of the machinery employed; by the diminution of its actual amount : by the non-employment of one-third which is at: present in existence : further, by the depre ciated value of property in houses; by the numbers un occupied compared to former periods; by the diminution in the amount of weekly rent for houses, and the increased difficulty in collecting it; by the diminished amount of necessaries and small luxuries sold by shopkeepers and dealers to the poor, and by their purchase of coarser ar ticles of consumption; and by the diminished purchases of the middle classes themselves, in departments where retrenchment can be made.—(Hear.) I propose further to show, that the prospects for the hosiery trade of the . midland counties are most discouraging, in eonsequenco of the alarming growth of a gigantic foreign German competition, which has already superseded us in neutral markets, and is rapidly invading us at our own doors.— (Hear, hear.) In order to prove all these propositions consecutively I shall begin with Hinckley. The three largest manufacturing towns in the county are Hinckley, Loughborough, and Leicester. The population of Hinckley in 1831 was 6,491—in 1841 it was 6,459; showing a diminution which, though trifling, is any thing but an index of prosperity. The poor-rates for 1815 were 2,9291.; for 1841'are 4,2401: between which times it must be recollected the population remained nearly stationary in amount. In 1811 there were twenty-five houses unoccupied ; 1831 there were 122 ; and in 1841 there were 157 :—thus showing an increase of deserted tenements, and evidencing a gra dual and growing pauperism among the working classes. —(Hear, hear.) In the year 1815 the clear earnings of an average workman were 12s. per week; in the year 1841, when fully employed, they would not exceed from 7s. to Bs. ; but, for the last three years, the workmen have not been fully employed, even at this reduced rate. Those engaged in the manufacture of brown cotton hosiery (which is the principal article and chief support of Hinckley) have been unemployed fully one-third of their time for the last three years; and the deficiency of em ployment has gone on greatly . increasing during the same period. Of those who are in work, one- half only are fully employed, the other half being limited to what is called half work, which does not exceed in amount 4s. per week. This, it must be understood, has occurred in a town, and in a manufacture, where not the slightest al teration or improvement in machinery has taken place; so that of course the distress and reduction of wages here cannot by possibility be ascribed to machinery, as steam power has never been employed in Hinckley or its neighbourhood, in the manufacture of cotton hosiery ; but the distress, as evidenced by , the poor-rates, can be distinctly proved to be greater in years when corn is dear, than in other years, when corn is cheap; as for instance in 1835, when corn was 395. 4d. per quarter, the poor-rates amounted to 2,0101.—in 1836, when corn was 48s. 6d. per quarter, they amounted to 2,o7oL—in 1840, after three consecutive dear years, and when corn was 665. 4d. per quarter, they amounted to 3,1201. — and now, in 1841, when corn is 645. 6d. per quarter, they amount to 4,2401.: from which coincidences we are warranted in believing, as practical men, that dear corn has a natural tendency to produce bad trade, reduc tion of wages, and general distress. Frame property has depreciated in Hinckley to a great extent; it is not possible to say precisely to what extent., as frames are not now vendible by auction at any price. The last sale was stopped, after the few first frames were disposed of ; and those which were sold did not realise much more than half the valuation. In 1815, the averago value of frames, as tested by sales at public auction, was 8/. 14s. ; in 1826 and 1827 they were depreciated to 61. 3s. 6d. ; in 1840 to 41. Is. ; at present, in 1841, there is no price for them. It is unnecessary of course to say, that the value of frames is regulated by the profitable or unpro fitable nature of the business. Hinckley, and the villages adjoining, contain one-fifth of the frames in Leicester shire, and were principally dependent upon the Americen market for employment. Hinckley goods are now beaten out of the United States market by the manufacturers of the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) The articles in which we have been superseded by the Germans are—men's and women's brown and coloured hose and half hose. The prospects for Hinckley are gloomy in the extreme ; the declared intentions of some of the largest manufacturers are, to sell their machinery and . get out of the trade, owing to the absence of all profit in carrying it on for the last few years, and the ruinous depreciation in the value of manufactured goods. In several cases of insol vency, in this town and neighbourhood, it has been found that goods have been repeatedly sold, for the last three years, at a ruinous sacrifice, at a loss of at least from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. The demand for labour seems to decrease here more and more every year, and in the same proportion the comforts and respectability of the working classes decrease with it ; and all the exer tions of religious teachers of Sunday schools cannot and do not retard the rapid progress of demoralization, which is, in consequence, fearfully extending itself. Hunger and distress are fast destroying all honesty in our sex, and all chastity and decency in the other. As painfully interesting evidence of the extreme state of poverty to which the operatives are reduced, it is a fact, that thir teen out of fifteen sick clubs, or friendly societies, in this town are shut up, from the inability of their members to pay their subscriptions; and some intention has been en tertained of dividing the funds, and breaking up the clubs altogether. Here is poverty, destitution, and de spair: we will weigh this in the balance with Sir Robt. Peel's story about the savings banks, and I ask every one who hears me, whether it does not make it kick the beam like a feather?--(Cheers and hisses.) Besides, as an evidence of manufacturing prosperity or distress, the savings' banks absolutely prove nothing. From. inquiries which I have myself made, I learn from the most un questionable authority, that at least two-thirds of the depositors are domestic servants, whose wages are paid them periodically, and who are the last persons to be affected by the vicissitudes and alternations of trade— that half the remaining third are agricultural labourers, servants, and cottagers, or persons utterly unconnected with manufacture ; and that the remaining one-sixth only is composed of small tradesmen or shopkeepers, manufacturing operatives, small manufacturers, artizans, and children, together with the deposits of benefit soci eties and charitable institutions. —(Hear, hear.) In common fairness, therefore, if Sir Robert Peel had wished to refer to any gage or criterion of the condition was no criterion at all. However such a statement may pass current in a Tory Parliament, we manufacturers, who live in the midst of a distressed, unemployed, and impoverished population, and have every day such pain ful and distressing evidences of it before our eyes as can not he mistaken, look upon the savings' bank story of Sir Robert Peel as a mere rhetorical flourish to dress up a case, and suit a party purpose. " We know its rags and gather in the face on't."-(Loud cheers.) In conclusion, it may be said that one-third of the frames and workmen at Hinckley are at the present time totally unemployed ; one-third earning only from 7s. to Bs. per week ; and the remaining one-third employed upon half-work, by which they can only earn 4s. per week. It has been found impossible fully to carry all the provisions of the New Poor-law into operation in Hinckley ; it has been repeatedly tried, but has as re gularly failed. -East year (1840) there were 500 men, heads of families, out of the small population of Hinck ley parish, in the workhouse yard breaking stones ; this year, the poor-house is full, and the unemployed poor who are not in the house are necessarily relieved out of it. The poor-rates, which used to be, in a healthy state of the trade, 10d. in the pound per quarter, or 3s. 4d. per year, are now 20d. per quarter, or 648 d. per year; being, in other words, double what they formerly were, with no present prospect of alteration or reduction. The stato of destitution here (adds my informant) is attended with wretchedness which will not bear description ; it is too bad to be pourtrayed, and too extensive to e re lieved.-(Hear, hear.) Having now occupied you suffi ciently long with the painfully distressing details of the state of trade at Hinckley, and the social condition of the working classes there, we will next proceed to enumerate a "few facts in connexion with the second largest manu facturing town in the county ; we will consider Lough borough. My informant reports that the population of Loughborough is now 10,000, according to the last cen sus; in 1831 it was 11,000; so that its population may be said to have decreased 1,000 in the last ten years-a pain ful evidence of its diminished prosperity, and the loss of a considerable part of its trade. In 1831 the number of houses unoccupied was 100 ; at the last census (1841) there were 305, or three times more than upon the for mer occasion. The average wa g es of common work here do not exceed 7s. per week. There are now three times as many frames unemployed here as at any former period. The price for a certain description of ribbed work in 1815 was 14s-now it is Bs. or Bs. 6d. In 1815, Loughborough was in a state of great prosperity, the wages of the operatives were good, and their comforts were, of course, in proportion. Now there is a greater amount of privation and distress than I ever remember to have witnessed-the circumstance that the poor have not the means of obtaining partial relief, whilst it pre vents the rates from being heavy, entails a fearful amount of suffering upon them in seasons of scarcity of labour. At the present time there is a great deal of dis tress existing, in consequence of numbers of workmen being discharged from their usual occupation, and hav ing to seek relief or casual employment in any way they can, which, under existing circumstances, is extremely difficult to obtain. Wages are reduced nearly one-half in the staple trade (hosiery) since 1815, which reduc tion, coupled with, and, as we believe, mainly caused by, the high price of provisions, diminishes the comforts, and increases the privations of the poor to a most dis tressing extent. I should state further that this reduc tion of wages has taken place in common articles made in common frames by manual labour, to which steam power has never been applied. We will now, gentle men, introduce Leicester. Leicester contains, according to the last census, 50,000 inhabitants. The number of houses unoccupied in 1831 was 550 ; in 1841 it was 1,400.-(llear, hear.) My informants state that within the last three years ten manufacturers have declined business in Leicester on account of its unprofitable character -not, I regret to say, with fortunes-while sixteen other firms have been overtaken with insolvency and bankruptcy within the same period. The wages of the operatives here, in common branches, are not more, on an average, than six or seven shillings per week, and not more that half, after their various charges and expenses are paid, what they were in 1815. The prospects for the ensuing winter are most discour aging-several houses having already begun to discharge their workmen, and it is almost certain that the numbers out of:employment will be now increasing every week. The suffering and privation among the working-classes is necessarily 'very great. But, Gentlemen, we must now go more into details, and submit to you an amount of evidence collected from various sources, all of which can be substantiated, like the preceding, if a necessity should arise, at the bar of the House of Commons, or before any Commissioners whom Sir Robert Peel may choose to ap point. The first evidence of distress I shall introduce is that of the great reduction in the wages of labour. I shall not take here a fancy article, which may have parti ally gone out from changes of taste or caprices of fashion, but one of the most stable, and regular, and ordinary articles in the trade, made in narrow frames by manual labour, and which has never been interfered with by the application of improved machinery or steam power. The article I select is a dozen of women's 24-gage worsted stockings, 104 leads wide, and is a fair criterion of the extent to which labour in the hosiery manufacture gener ally has been reduced since 1815.

Low as is this rate of labour at the present time, and utterly inadequate as it is with the present price of provi sions, to maintain working men in anything approach ing to comfort, I have no hesitation in saying, that if manufacturers, as a class, had the feelings and disposi tions which Chartist leaders and thoughtless men ascribe to them, there is no level to which the wages of labour might not be reduced-so greatly is it in excess, and so general is the want of employment at the present time. It is maintained alike by Tories and some of the Chart ist leaders that the price of corn and labour invariably go together-that dear corn induces high wages, and that cheap corn induces low wages-that, therefore, cheap corn would be no advantage to the operative, and that manufacturers generally want a Repeal of the Corn laws that they may reduce the rate of labour.-(Cries of " Shame.") Thus fallacy and calumny generally go to gether. To say nothing of the coarseness and injustice of such a charge, against a class of men, who, to say the least of it, will challenge comparison with any other in the empire, for intelligence, humanity, benevolence, and public usefulness, the assertion that corn and wages go together is absurd and untrue, and is now nearly ex ploded everywhere except in our House of Lords. But the best refutation of it in connection with our hosiery busi ness, is to be found in the recent letter of an intelligent operative of Leicester, to the Duke of Rutland. The Duke had been making some observations at an agricul tural dinner at Waltham, to the effect that with every fall in the price of corn, the stocking 'makers received a corresponding reduction in their wages, proving that here ditary legislation and wisdom do not always go together. The operative in question (Mr. Richard Seal) states in the course of his letter, that in the year 1815 24-gage hose, 104 leads wide, were i s. 6d. per dozen when corn was 635. Bd. per quarter ; that in 1816 the same sort were 7s. per dozen when corn was 765. 2d. per quarter ; that in 1817 they were 6s. when corn was 945. per quar ter; that in 1818 they were 6s. when corn was 83s. Bd. per quarter ; that in 1822 they were 6s. 6d. when corn was 435. 3d. per quarter ; that in 1834 they were 4s. 9d. when wheat was 465. 2d. per quarter ; that in 1835 they were 4s. 9d. when wheat was 395. 4d. per quarter ; that in 1839 they were 4s. 6d. when corn was 70s. 6d. per quarter ; that in 1840 they were 4s. 6d. when corn was 665. 4d. per quarter ; and that in 1841 they were 4s. 6d. when corn was 645. 6d.: thus exhibit ing every variety of alternation in the wages of labour, without the slightest regard to the variations in the price of corn. " If your Grace (continues this intelligent operative) will only cast your eye upon the price o c o f f corn corn and the price of labour in 1 815, and the price and the price of labour in 1839, 1840, and 1841, you will see what a tremendous reduction h as taken place in the price of the framework•knitters' wages ' while corn is considerably dearer than at th e p er i o d of 1815.

It has frequently been urged against the Manchester free-traders, when they have petitioned for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and urged the existence of distress and want of employment amongst the working classes, that such distress has not been the result of our restrictive Corn-laws so much as of their improvements in machinery, their introduction of steam power; but in our own !peculiar manufacture we have a conspicuous example of immense numbers of workmen being thrown out of employment, and wages reduced nearly one-bait since 1815, without any important alteration, or hardly any improvement upon the machinery employed. The stocking frame is to all intents and purposes essentially the same in principle, and almost in details, as it was when first launched from the hands of its inventor. Steam power has never been applied to it; for upwards of two centuries it has remained unchanged; even the ag gregate number of frames, at present extant in Leices* tershire, is not so great as it was in the more prosperous period of the trade. In the year 1815 it was ascertained from extensive inquiry, that there were 16,000 frames in Leicestershire. There are now certainly not more than 14,000, the few new ones which have been built latterly not having by any means kept pace with the worn out or old ones, which have been broken up and _ _ . . destroyed ; and yet, in spite of this diminished number of stocking frames, a third part of the machinery in the trade is either totally still, or only partially employed ; while wages have been reduced since 1815 from 7s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per dozen. Here, then, is a striking instance of reduction of wages to the amount of nearly one-half, in a manufacture where none other than manual labour has ever been employed—where steam power has never been introduced—where the amount of machinery itself is less than it formerly was—and where one• third of the diminished number of frames now in existence are at present totally unemployed. It is utterly impossible, therefore, that the distress in Leicestershire can arise from an increase in the amount of machinery, or from the application of steam power. It must, and does, in the opinion of the whole trade, arise from the Corn laws, and from them alone ; dear years, like the last three, are inevitably years of suffering, loss and depre ciation, while cheap years, like 1834, 1835, and 1836, are as necessarily years of activity, national prosperity, and social happiness. We will now proceed to show the depreciation in the value of our machinery, and the amount of it at present unemployed. Within the last ten years, machinery employed in the ma nufacture of common hosiery has depreciated at least from forty to fifty per cent. In 1836, plain frames twenty-five inches wide, would sell for 201.: such frames would not now sell for more than lit or 121. In the same year, an average lot of plain stocking frames, fifteen inches wide, would have sold under the hammer for 71. to Si. each ; at the present time, at the only ac tual sale which has taken place for some months, they only realized 31. 15s. each, and several lots of wide and narrow frames, after having been publicly advertised in all the local papers for two or three weeks, have been withdrawn for want of bidders. Scarcely a single ma nufacturer attended these sales—a decided proof of the extreme depression of trade, as manufacturers had for merly been the principal purchasers.—(Hear, hear.) Warp looms, which are usually employed upon fancy articles, have slepeeciated to a still greater extent than the common stocking frames • they are at least from 60 to 70 per cent. lower in value than they were. The greater part of this depreciation has taken place within the last two or three years. In the year 1836, fifty or sixty-inch looms would then readily sell at an average of from 141. to 15/. each ; but at the present time numbers have been offered in the market of greater widths, at 51. ss. each, and have been declined. The progress and history of the stocking trade still further illustrates the depreciation in machinery. A considerable number of stocking frames were formerly owned by in dependent holders, and by the workmen them selves ; but such has been the long-continued depression of trade, and the difficulty of procuring employment for such frames, that these classes of frame holders have been gradually compelled to sell them at almost any price, regardless of the sacrifice, or of their original cost, in order to secure themselves regular employment. This has accumulated the machines in the hands of manu facturers ; but the depression continuing, great numbers of these frames have been withdrawn from the manufac ture, and laid down as temporarily useless—it being a smaller loss to the manufacturer to forego the rent for such machines, than to encounter the difficulties of sale and depreciation of stock consequent upon their employ ment. Such frames aro not, therefore, brought into the market for sale, as there is no probability of vending them for anything like their intrinsic value, as com pared with former years ; for instance, if a new fifteen inch frame were made at the present day, at the lowest possible rate, it would cost 151. and could not be sold for more than 101. If the manufacturers were to force a sale of their surplus machinery the depreciation would reach at least sixty to seventy per cent., and it is more than doubtful whether purchasers could be found at any price whatever.-(Hear, hear.) I will now quote the evidence of a gentleman lattterly retired from the hosiery trade, who kindly furnished me with his business experience and history, in connexion with frame pro perty ; with which, and the result of my own personal inquiries, I will conclude my case as it respects machi nery. "I commenced business (says our informant) in 1803, and up to that time, and for twenty years preced ing, the workmen themselves owned a great part of the frame-property in Leicestershire. Many of them used to purchase their own material, and regularly make up their own goods, for which they found an easy, regular, and weekly sale to the hosier, for at least five per cent. profit ;at this time hosiery goods were so much in re quest, and labour consequently so greatly in demand, that manufacturers were in the habit of riding round to the adjoining villages, and offering premiums and advances upon wages, to induce the workmen to supply them with goods in preference to their former employers. This state of things continued without much change or interruption, till about the year 1815, from which time there has been a gradual reduction of wages, and an increasing distress and suffering among the working classes. They have been compelled in most cases to sell their frames, which have thus become, in the course of time, the pro perty of manufacturers, who are at present the principal owners of them. Stocking frames originally cost 171. each building • even as late 1820 I had many made at that price. On the 10th November, 1841, I attended a sale of frames by auction, and the average price they realized was oaly 3/. 135. 6d. each ; from Which must be deducted expenses of sale and five per cent. for duty, leav ing only a net proceed for each frame of 31.85. 6. Ever since the year 1816 manufacturers have been compelled to lay down part of their frames, and I have known many in stances latterly where frames have been offered for sale at a public auction, and no bidders have attended to purchase. In 1821 I gave up manufacturing, and let out my frames to a respectable house then commencing business, for ls. a week each, and introduced them at the same time to my former business connection. This house soon de clined business ; I then let them to a large manufac turer for 9d. per week each. He employed them until the year 1838 ; when he wished to give them up, but I prevailed upon him to continue to rent half of them, till this year (1841) when he finally gave up the whole. My frame property, the rent of which formed part of my income, is now therefore thrown useless upon my hands. I have already waited upon at least twenty ma nufacturers, besides other persons, without being able to let one of them upon any terms. I know many per sons who depended upon the rent of their frame property for their livelihood, who are now reduced to very great distress, and even destitution ; they have been compelled from the distresses of the times, and from the absence of any interest derivable from them to sell them one by one, and some have even been obliged to apply for parish relief."—(Hear, hear.) From personal inqui ries of eight of the largest firms in Leicester, who are holders of machinery, ourselves included, to the amount of 2,650 frames, there are 955 or more than one-third, totally unemployed, and lying down entirely useless. This proposition holds good with the smaller houses, and throughout the whole of the hosiery trade ; so that it may be fairly stated, without exaggeration, that one-third of the machinery of Leicestershire and one-third of the workmen, are at present unemployed. We will further establish the existence of distress, from a brief history of the poor-rates in the parishes of St. Margaret and All Saints :—" In the parish of St. Margaret. which con tains three-fifths of the whole population of the town of Leicester, or thirty out of its fifty thousand inhabitants, there were two hundred and fifty unoccupied houses in 1831, and six hundred and fifty in the present-year, 1841. l o n ni t y h a e v t e b r re ag e e c d h 4 e 4 ap s. 3 B , d ea . rs per lB q 3 u 4 a , rt l e B r 3 , s th , a e nd 1636, when wheat to only 18,807/. ; while in the three Years 1838, they and 1840, when corn averaged 675. per to 2a 020 L Th is amounted, including a subscription, of 1839, in subscription was got up in the winte r m conse quence of the immense number of un t o ployed workmen, lastpoo yr-ratelsBa3mB, 1839, and which increased their amount so te- ay or e s, there them so onerous to the smaller ra h - p a e an p er rendered who were obliged to be relieved out of the `healthier was no alternative left but classes to subscribe , or for a large proportion of p these poorer rate - %.e ra t o be ruined, and added to the Under these bysubscription, which circumstances fi ve thousand pounds was raised was disbursed pauper s.- by wee kly instalments under the superintendence o f a Committee, li st of t h e Chairman.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been ver y much improved and enlarged. by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been, either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, l , has been en couraged and aroused by this sup ineness, on tee part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced b y feelin g that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to th e score o f con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of youn g p ersons o f b ot h sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusiv e or i g i n h a s been the indulgence in certain destructive habit s pract i se d by y o uth much more frequently than it is at all suspecte d . Th e PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility o f a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and v er y much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into school s , w h ere b y t h e health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be corn promised, unless the evil be arrested in p r oper time. He will here find a clue to guide h im throu g h the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a standard where by to judge, when owfhateatlhthe real causes any of be, and thus of his young charges, s, h' he will be enabled to chec k the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN , in whose s acred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as t o the nature of those h abits to hich youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.
