LIFE OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.
This day is published, Volume Third of
MISS AGNES STRICKLAND'S

LIVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND,
and English Pencesses connected with the Royal Succession.
This volume contains the commencement of a personal Life of
Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authentic and
complete than any which has yet appeared. It comprises an amount
of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the Milts of
long and arduous research in the State raper Offices of England,
Scotland, France, and other nations, and in the charter-chests of the
descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con-
nected with that momentous period. The result is a Biography
which is likely to he the crowning work of Miss Strickland's great
national undertaking.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL AND SURGICAL WORKS,
Just published, by H. Bailhere, 219, Regent-street, Loud Oz.
No I.
Second Edition, with Additions,
Bvo., in cloth, price 55., by post free, /is. 6d.,
ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, be informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in hl
power to correct."—Londcsa Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor hae conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this

distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to till their own pursci. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
18,1852.
