SELF-PRESERV ATI ON a
Popular Treatise on the Physiology and Functions of Mar-
riage, with its Diriqualitications and Impediments, tracing their
origin to the effects of solitary habits, youthtul excess, tropical
climates, or close study ; followed by practical remarks, founded on
twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance, Nervous
Debility, Local Weakness, .permatorrho3a, and all diseases of the
Urinary and Generative System. Illustrated by 50 coloured Engrav-
ings, on the Anatomy of the Reproductive Organs and their relative
conditions in Health and Disease.
By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin•
burgh. Honorary Member of the London Hospital idedical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Han, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peruse, is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the hday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may beye mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con,equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there Is namely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in '..heir pretensions.

Guards.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed " the Church," with
which he coupled the name of the Rev. Dr. Donaldson,
who briefly returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that he now came to what he
considered as his chief duty, and, at the same time, his
highest privilege as chairman in asking the gentlemen who
were present to combine in a single toast the expression of
their love for literature, and of their sympathy with those
who had not been successful in their contributions to it.
He was about to propose to them " Prosperity to the Lite-
rary Fund." (Cheers.) They would not expect from him
what he was not qualified to give—a detail of the conduct
and management of this great institution, as such a detail
would shortly be laid before them by other and more com-
petent hands. For his part, he could only, as one of the
public who contemplated the Literary Fund, desire to ex-
press his respect for its motives and his gratitude for its
exertions. Among the subservient advantages of a meeting
like the present might be numbered the friendly communion
which it established between different classes of literary men.
He might observe that a poet who should live only with
poets, a novelist who should live only with novelists, an his-
torian who should live only with historians, would acquire
but a very slight and imperfect knowledge of the great field
of literature in which there were so many labourers. He
thought that by a friendly communion of different classes
of writers in a meeting like the present, they were each of
them enabled to form a juster appreciation of the merits of
the rest. But it was not merely the different classes of lite-
rary men that were brought together at a meeting like this.
It had also the advantage of eliciting the sympathy of va-
rious nations. They saw among them to-night not Eng-
lishmen merely, but men who had come from the furthest
regions of the earth, all ready like themselves to testify, by
taking part in this meeting, their love and their respect for
literature. He saw among them the natives, he could not
say of a foreign country, for that description would not
apply to India, but of a distant country, who had been
willing by their presence to show that no distance of place,
no difference of race, could dissever those who felt a love
for literature. They also numbered among them many
citizens of that great commonwealth beyond the Atlantic
to which we were bound by so many ties of interest as well
as of language, the strength of which must in the end
always overpower any temporary estrangement that might
occur between the two countries. (Cheers.) As regarded
the United States, we might say, not merely that their
literature and our own were kindred and allied, but that
in many respects they were one and the same, for he believed
he was not wrong in asserting that an accomplished Ameri-
can would take as much pride in the renown of Shakspere
and of Milton, and would consider them as much a mark of
his national greatness, as we did ourselves, and, even if we
looked to those men of letters who had arisen on the
other side of the Atlantic since the separation of the
United States from this country, we should find that as
much pleasure and delight had been derived from their
productions upon this as upon the other side of the Atlan-
tic. In proof of this he need only refer to the warm re-
ception which only last year had been given with so much
reason to the illustrious Thackeray ; and he need only ask,
if a single Englishman who now heard liiin had not derived
gratification from reading the admirable pictures of Eng•
lisb life contained in the writings of Washington Irving?
Although an American by birth and by family, he bad yet
imbued himself with many European scenes, and he (the
chairman) remembered him with much pleasure as his friend
and fellow traveller in Spain. He thought it was a
great advantage that these meetings should give an oppor-
tunity of union to those who were no strangers to each other
in feeling, and who only desired to become better acquainted
with each other in order to increase their mutual friendship
and regard. (Hear, hear.) But he thought this meeting
was also important from the encouragement which it must
hold out to those younger men who had just entered upon
the field of literature. He did not mean that that encou-
ragement was derived from any expectation that they might
have of hereafter deriving benefit from this society. No,
those were not the feelings of young and ardent minds ; no
young men began their career expecting teat their hopes
would not be fulfilled, but many who had commenced
their career in buoyancy and hop might have occasion,
before they closed it, to appeal, not in vain to this
institution. The encouragement, however, to which he
had cdverted was of a different kind. It must be an en-
couragement to them to see, as might continually be seen
et these annual meetings, men who had attained to great
eminence in various professions and walks of life, come for-
ward and express the delight and gratification which, in
the midst of their pursuits, they had derived from thq
se sa?oihtfa°
wouldhu ifl
i ti a
study of literature. It must bo an encouragement t 6
young men of letters to see some of the most eminent men
of every profession in this country brought together by
their lave for that study, for it was certainly a remark-
able and an animating fact that we might point to some
of the most learned persons, to some of those who had
attained the greatest eminence in this country, as men
who, apart from their professional distinction, had
achieved great renown in literature. (Hear, hear.) If
we looked through the learned professions at this mo-
ment, we found that there were in the present wee no
physicians more successful than Sir H. Milford' and.
Sir H. Holland, the former of whom was so distin-
guished by a taste for composition in the Latin lan-
guage, while the latter excelled not in one, but in many
branches of literary attainment. If we looked to the law,
he need do no more than name such men as Lord Brougham
and Lord Campbell; ho need do no more than appeal to
the name of that eminent man, who only three years
ago was presiding in this assembly, and whose loss we
had now to mourn—need he supply what their thoughts
were anticipating—need he mention the name of Tal-
fourd—(loud cheers)—apart from whose well-earned pro-
fessional renown, there never was a man who was
more sincerely, mare devotedly, more completely attached
to the cause of literature? (Cheers.) Then, if we
looked to the church, it might be said that eminence in
literature had not, any more than the study of theology,
proved any bar to the well-earned professional distinction
of the Dean of St . Paul's and of the Dean of Westmin-
ster - and if we looked to the higher ranks of the church,
we should also find that in them literature was most
worthily represented by such men as Bishop Thirlwall
and Archbishop Whately. (Hear, hear.) He therefore
thought we might be proud of a distinction in literature
when it was shared by so many eminent men of the
various learned professions; but if we now looked
to politicians we should arrive at the same result.
There were, indeed, in politics, some men who
could read nothing but blue-books---(a laugh)—who looked
down on literature with contempt ; some men such
as had been so well described by Goldsmith in his play of
the "Good-natured Man" under the character of Mr. Lofty,
who, when some one made an allusion to one of the poets,
only broke out into the exclamation, " Waller, Waller ! Is
he in the house ?" (A laugh.) He certainly had known some
Loftys, but where had he found them ? Not among the
higher classes of politicians, but among those who occupied
about the same rank in politics asthat which Colley Cibber
and Pye occupied as poets laureate—men of the third and
fourth class. But when he looked to those great statesmen
whose voices had • been heard by listening Senates, and
whose opinions had decided the fate of empires, e ob-
served both in the records of history and at the present time
that, with but very few exceptions, those men had apart,
from their great political contentions, studied and loved

political object, but solely from the intellectual pleasure it
afforded them. If we looked back to former times, how
pleasing was the recollection that Fox, retiring from the
scenes of party strife in which he was engaged, would
recur with never-wearied pleasure to the perusal of his
Dryden or his Shakspere, or even indulge himself occa-
sionally in the composition of Italian canzonets. We
found also his great rival Pitt, not estranged
by his long official career from his early devotion
to classical literature, recurring to the study of classical
authors at every moment of leisure which his busy life
afforded. Indeed, if he wished to produce an example of
how the love of literature could be combined with emi-
nence in politics, he knew not that he could find a more
appropriate instance than that which was supplied by their
own president, the Marquis of Lansdowne. (Cheers.) It
was, if he mistook not, not less than 48 years since Lord
Lansdowne had first sat in a Cabinet, and he sat in a
Cabinet now. He believed that such a long period of ser-
vice as a statesman was wholly withont a precedent in
the annals of this country, and in the midst of political
contention Lord Lansdowne had never ceased from pursu-
ing literary accomplishments, and from showing, as they
could bear testimony, the most courteous and anxious at-
tention to every person and to every subject connected with
the literary profession. (Hear, hear.) Of such men it
might be said that the love of intellectual pursuits, inde-
pendent of their political avocations, was in their bosoms
a pure and salient spring, which, like the fabled stream of
Arethusa, could flow pure and undefiled through the bitter
ocean of party politics.
" Sic tibi cum fluctus subterlabere Sicanos
Doris aware suam non intermisceat undam."
But he had hitherto adverted to what were, no doubt,
only the subsidiary advantages of this institution in the
bond
by which it afforded to literature, and in the
by which it united literary men. The more immediate object

He doubted whether the line, as it stood at first, did not
more feelingly express the hardships endured in the pre-
sent age of pressing competition, which claimed almost the
last hours of life for an effort of labour—intellectual labour
being certainly no exception to the general remark. He
was convinced, by their presence, of their sympathy with
the objects of the institution, and he hoped that they
would join with him in wishing " Prosperity to the Lite-
rary Fund." (Loud cheers.)
The toast was drunk with great applause.
The Treasurer then announced that grants to the
amount of 1,490/. had been distributed during the last
year among 47 persons—of whom 31 were gentlemen, and
16 were ladies, and read a lowg list of donations, includ-
ing those of 100 guineas from her Majesty (17th year), 20
guineas from the Chairman (4th donation), and 10 guineas
train the Duke of Somerset, the Earl of Ellenborough, the
Earl of Ellesmere, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Hallam, &c.
Lord STANLEY, in proposing the health of the chairman,
said that his noble friend had now been before the public
for more than a quarter of a century, and had passed a
large portion of that time in the noblest school of politics
which existed in the world—the House of Commons. In
that assembly he had earned no small degree of credit and
distinction; but, although he was qualified to have risen
to the highest eminence as a politician, he had always pre-
ferred to consider literature as his profession. He fully
concurred in all that his noble friend had said with regard
literature
to the relation between and politics; and he
might have added, as a striking testimony of the honour
in which literature was now held among politicians, that
the leaders of the three great political parties of the day
were not merely men of literary sympathies and tastes,
but had themselves been authors. Lord John Russell was
not only an author, but a historian. Mr. Gladstone was
responsible for the expenditure of a good deal of the income
of publishers, and the early triumphs and reputation of
Mr. Disraeli had been gained in literature. (Cheers.) His
noble friend's "History of England" had acquired a stand-
ard place in our literature, and had received the sanction of
universal approbation, for not only, in the phrase of book-
sellers' advertisements, was it "a book which no library
could be without," but, what was a surer test of literary
merit, it was very often taken down from the shelves of
libraries—(hear)—and, although it had not been published
in a form which multiplied readers from thousands to hun-
dreds of thousands, yet it was one of those works which was
the most thumbed by the hard hands of operatives in the
public libraries of the great towns of England. It would al-
ways be a book of reference, and approached as near to
political impartiality as he believed any history could do.
His noble friend had published volumes of historical
works ; he hail been an active literary reviewer, and for
many years an active member of Parliament, and was
therefore entitled to credit for more than a common share
of industry, even in this industrious country. (Cheers.)
He had laboured thus perseveringly in order to obtain that,
honourable reputation which followed the successful exer-
cise of intellect. (Cheers.) He concluded by proposing
" The health of the Chairman."

The CHAIRMAN, who was loudly applauded, in returning
thanks, announced that the Marquis of Normanby would
take the chair at the next anniversary. (Cheers.)
The remaining toasts were —" Tho Writers on Classical
Literature, and Dr. W. Smith," by Mr. BOWEN ; " The
Writers on Science and Mr. Lassen," by Sir E. PERRY ;
"The Historians and Biographers and the Rev. A. Stanley,"

other countries, and the Rev. Dr. Waterbury," by the
PROVOST of ETON ; " The Visitors and Mr. Whiteside,"
by the CHAIRMAN; and "The Ladies," by the CHAIRMAN.
Several glees were sung in the course of the evening by
Messrs. Genge and Lawler, assisted by some other vocalists.
A number of ladies were present in the galleries to witness
the proceedings.
Amongst the subscriptions announced were the follow-
ing :—The Queen, 105/. ; Lord Mahon, the chairman, 21/. ;

LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE
FRIENDS OF POLAND.

The 22d annual meeting of this association was held yes
terday at the rooms in Duke-street, St. James's—Lord
Dudley Stuart, as usual, presiding. Among those present
were, the Earls of Harrowby and Harrington, the Marquis
of Breadalbane, Lord Beaumont, Sir Benjamin Hall, Sir
J. V. Shelley, Colonel Freestun, Mr. J. Abel Smith, Mr.
Fox-Strangways, Mr. Monckton Milnes, Capt. Tonshend,
Mr. Alderman Salomons, Mr. Silk Buckingham, the High
Bailiff of Southwark, Lieut.-Colonel Szulczewski, and a
number of Poles.
Mr. BIRKBECK, the hon. secretary, road the report,which
reviewed the principal events of the past year bearing upon
thointerests and prospects of the refugees and of their cause.
Referring to the Eastern question, it explained the steps
which had been taken for the formation of a Polish legion
commanded by Polish officers, and fighting under the na-
tional banner, in the service of the Sultan. For that purpose
a correspondence had taken place between the Turkish Mi-
nisters and Prince Adam Czartorisky, and subsequently
Lord Dudley Stuart had proceeded to the East to facili-
tate its accomplishment. The scheme had encountered,
until recently, the opposition of Lord Stratford de Red-
cliffe, on the ground of his anxiety to conciliate Austria. '
i This opposition was now, however, withdrawn, and the
report announced that within a few weeks the flag of Po-
land would be once more raised against Russia. At no pe-
riod had the prospects of restoring their nationalitytsaepe-
-1 peared more bright than at present. The Czar hadg

newed incursions of Eastern barbarism. From the finan-
cial statement embodied in the report, the recent dinner
in
aid
of the funds of the association would appear to have
red its object thoroughly, having realised 9001.,
.Nl'vnhsewreewith to meet the expenses of the current year.
Mr. FON-STRANGWATS moved, and the Earl of HAR-
RINGTON seconded the adoption of the report, which was
unanimously agreed to.
A deputation from the body of Polish emigrants, con-
sisting of Major Geitgud, Chevalier Wiercinski, Mr. N. F.
Zaba, Mr. Jackouski, and the Rev. Mr. Podoleki, presented
an address to the association on the existing state of affairs
and the prospects of Polish nationality.
Mr. M. MILNES moved, and the Earl of HARROWBT
seconded, the following resolution :
‘' That, in the present condition of Europe, nothing
short of a full consideration of the just claims of Poland
will afford adequate security for the maintenance of the
balance of power therein, and for the establishment of a
satisfactory and lasting peace."
Lord BEAUMONT moved, and Mr. BEALE seconded, a
vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for presiding at the
late dinner hold at the Loudon Tavern in aid of the funds
of the association.
Captain TOWNSEND moved, and Colonel CHESTERTON
seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Carr and the other
gentlemen who took part in the preparations for the
dinner.
On the motion of Mr. S. BUCKINGHAM, Lord Dudley
Stuart was elected president of the association.
Lord D. STUART, in returning thanks, said that in
whatever capacity he was called upon to do so, he would
always be ready to support tho association as long as its
services were required for the cause of Poland. It had
been in existence for 22 years, and had done all it could to
assuage the sufferings of the exiles. He trusted that they
would soon be rewarded by being recalled to a happy home
and restored to peace and independence, for their own
benefit and that of the civilised world. They
had met with
great sympathy not only from the men, but from the
women of England, and they had not been discouraged,
because they were in earnest. It was difficult to foresee
what might take place during the next 12 months, but

Last evening a very fully attended meeting of the share-
holders of the Home Counties and Metropolitan Freehold
Land Society, was held at Caldwell's Assembly Rooms,
Dean-street, Soho, for the purpose of balloting for forty
rights to choose land on the attractive estates of the society.
Shortly after eight o'clock the chair was taken by J.
George, Esq.
This society owes its origin and success to the following
facts, in connection with freehold land, viz., the strong
desire to possess laud manifested by all classes of people in
this country. The increasing value of land, and the profits
realised by it, and the unequalled security it affords. The
political rights connected with the possession of freehold
land of the value of 40s. per annum, and the difficulty of
obtaining small plots unless a much higher price is paid
than it can be obtained for in larger quantities ; also, the
heavy legal expenses equal to the cost of the land—and
the impossibility of providing against nuisances and dete-
rioration of the property—in any other way than by such
machinery as these societies employ. Each member on en-
tering the society, takes one or more shares, upon each of
which he pays au entrance fee of ls., and subscriptions at
the rate of one shilling per share per week, or the shares
can be completed in one payment of 301., in which case
interest at the rate of 51. Bs. 4d. is allowed. The plan
adopted by this society may be illustrated by the following
example, supposing a small estate to have been purchased,
the title to which is examined and found to be good. In
the first place it is laid out, the ditches and hedges are re-
moved, and the road and drains made; when all this is
done and the expenses ascertained, it is found that the
land to be divided consists of 10 acres, and that the cost is
3,0001., or 3001. per acre. This is then divided into 100
plots of the value of 301. each, which would give to
each plot a frontage of 30 feet, and a depth of about
150 feet. There are three ways by which a member
can acquire one of these plot of land ; the first by
completing his share, the second by a share drawn
in the ballot, and the third by purchasing the ballet
right of another member who does not wish to
choose land. In the first case the member secures the
right to choose on any of the estates after those who have
previously acquired the right have had the opportunity to
choose, and the land will at once bo conveyed to him and
his heirs for ever. In the other case, the rights of choice
are exercised in the order in which the shares are drawn.
The land is mortgaged to the society, and the member pays
the principal and interest by instalments of ss. per month.
The usual routine business being transacted,
A discussion arose upon the construction of the 40thrule
of the society, respecting withdrawals, in which the Chair-
man, Mr. Gould, Mr. Kintrea, and the Secretary, Mr.
Knight, took part. It was eventually arranged that the
subject should be brought under the consideration of the
executive committee.
Tho CHAIRMAN then said, this society had, in holding
their meeting in the present part of London, broken up
new ground. They had hitherto confined themselves to the
City or else they had crossed the water, and the success that
had attended the experiment he felt would be greatly to fur-
-1 ther the interests and prosperity of the society. (Cheers.)
A society, to stand well with the public, must be open as
the day ; and the oftener public attention was called to
such a society as the Home Counties and Metropolitan
Freehold Land Society, the snore it would tend to its suc-
cess. Politics were totally disregarded by the directors of
the Home Counties. (Cheers.) Other societies had started
with a direct political tendency, and had experienced
great success ; and if this society had not advanced so
rapidly as those, it had advanced as well. (Cheers.) The
man who made up his mind to save his shillings and six-
pences was the man they wanted. (Hear, hear.) He felt
he need not dwell upon the principles of freehold land so-
cieties. They all knew perfectly well that land was pur-
chased wholesale and retailed at the wholesale price—theeatlyl

offered great inducements. Nothing was so ready o,c. en-
trance, nothing was so secure, there was no fines, no pen: area.
(Cheers.) Yet how many, hew few, he should rather say, ,`mad
it
embraced the benefits held out to them. A man has b,lt
to make up his mind to save his money, and invest it in
society similar to this, and he immediately attains a posi e
tion equal to that of the Rewards, and with them he could'
say, "lam a freeholder." (Loud cheers.) The society's
estate at Wimbledon Park would soon be allotted, and,
when they took possession of their fine estate, immediately
in proximity to that of the aristocracy, what surprise would
men who merely paid their shilling a week.
He advised all who were so fortunate as to

hold rights to wait four or five years, they would then get*
rice double what they gave, and in ton years to double that.
Thesociety at present held two beautiful estates, and the
directors had determined to purchase nothing but first-raite
building land--they would not purchase fields that may be
swamped, but land upon which substantial houses :truly
be built. (Cheers).
Mr. KINTREA said he did not know whether it was
tended to go directly to the ballot, or to pass a resolutio.la
approving of the objects of the society. He know that the

had stated.
The motion having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was to the
effect that the meeting highly approved,' and pledged itself
to support the society, and declared it carried unani-
mously.
Mr. DURHAM, a director, said it was not his intention
to take up more than a few moments of the time of the
meeting. It had escaped the chairman to announce that
the society had come to the determination not to purchase
land unless it was freely accessible by railway. (Cheers.)
The chairman had said that members of freehold land
societies were good looking people. (Laughter.) This he
also happened to know, that they were equally well be-
haved. (Laughter and cheers.) In Birmingham, where
freehold land societies had first started, there had been a
saving of 3,0001. in the police rate, and that they did with
102 policemen less than they formally did. (Loud cheers.)
Many a drunkard who had been reclaimed through the in°
strumeutality of societies like the present, had now attained
a standing and position that he least expected. He be',
lieved that a man who determined to save his money, ant:.
invest it in a freehold land society, became both a better
and a wiser man. (Cheers.)

thanks to our worthy chairman—(cheers)—and I trust It
will bo passed, as it deserves to be, unanimously. (Cheers.)
Tho motion having been seconded it was put to the
meeting and declared carried. (Loud applause.)
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said ho felt ex•
ceedingly proud at the manner in which the vote had been
carried. He would not trouble them with another speech.
but he advised all to at once become freeholders. (Cheers.)
Had he not done so he would have been precluded from
filling many offices. The Chairman then humorously
alluded to the many parochial offices a mart was incapable
of holding unless he was a freeholder, and 1 esunled Ilia seat
amidst loud applause.
