FALLACIES OF THE FACULTY.
By Dr. DICKSON.
" The book before us could never have been produced but
by a person endued with that moral courage which is generated
by a strong self-relying principle of independence. Dr. Dick-
son sets things in a clear light."—Argus.
" If the eyes of the public are not opened to the nefarious
system of the apothecaries by these exposures, verily they
deserve the treatment they receive at the hands of these cold-
blooded impostors."—Metropolitan Magazine.
H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street, and all Booksellers.

SIX LESSONS ON SHORT-HAND.
_ By P. B. TEMPLETON,

Late Rep Oder for the " Manchester Times."

W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster -row,lLondon ;
Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham-
street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers.
By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted
with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re-
quests attention to the following notices

" Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and
having read every system a short=hand I could obtain access
to—having m3self a collection of about sixty different
systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to
me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno-
graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc-
tion and order of your lessons., . . . . I think a more
rapid progress may be inside in the knowledge, not
only of your particular system , but of the principles of the art
generally, by your book than 'by any otlier I have seen."—Let-
ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian.
" The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons ar e
such a. we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better
adapted to the wants of st adents of short-hand could be de-
sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier.

" From the. clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct
the learner, it is one of tb,e best works on short-hand that a
student can possibly lay lu tld of; and, viewing it in comparison
with other works on the s abject, we do not think it has a com-
petitor."—Manchester Times.

"We have looked through this treatise with much satisfac-
tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten-
tion of all intending student s of the art, as the moat complete,
sensible, and practicable sys tern ever brought under our notice."
—Manchester and Salford Advertiser.

" The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex-
cellEnt, and the instructiot is are conveyed in clear and perspi-
cuous language. We hay, eno hesitation in saying that the
learner needs no other instructor than this little work to
enablehim to acquire the art, and to practise it with success."
—Leeds Times.

" We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have
no hesitation in pronousming• it the brst work on the subject
that-has yet been publi shed."—Post Magazine.
" I.lr. Templeton's ,iharacter as a short-hand writer, in con-
nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient
guarantee of the practica'aility and excellence of his system."
—Manchester Chronicle.
" Mr. Templeton's gr eat experience and general accuracy
as a short-hand writer e atit'e his observations on the teachin
of the art to careful att.ention. From our own knowledge of
.11r. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal
of his work, we have for med a very high opinion of its merits."
—Leeds Intelligencer. •
" Among the bast works on this branch of science is one
lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who
has been a long time cormected with the English press, and
who is as skillet in the,practice as in the theory of shorthand
writing."—Dublin Pilot.
" The exercises giv. sn only require a little attention to be
understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr.
Templeton's six lesso.ss as guides, if the learner possesses ao-
plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac-
quire, in a short time, suffEcient knowledge of short-han:l to be
able to follow the most fluent speaker. "—Dublin Evening
Packet.

66 We have read this lit tie book with great care and attention,
and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best
treatise we have ever rea on the science of short-hand. It is
the practical work of a. :practical man. Nothing is laid down
by the author as proper to be done that he has not himself
fmnd to be so—and thaw the writer of this, who has had some
fifteen years experience' :in the Law Courts, at public meetings,
and in the gallery, does mot cordially approve of."-,Planet.
" Those who wish toj _know short-hand, and deaire to prac-
tise it, as they see it ev Dry day used by those connected with
the Press, will learn the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and
persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded
—to bse at once their money and their time—will deal with the
advertising quacks wl to profess to make men 'accomplished
stenographists in a few- days—they might as well profess to
teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at
which it commenced lie: .rning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton
professes no, such thing. lie gives six good lessons in short-
hand—and he leaves the m to the learner, with sounil advice,
that requires only to he • followed to be most profitable."—Bell's
New Weekly Blessenger .
" After giving Mr. T empleton's book a careful perusal, we
have much pleasure in : recommending it as tne best work on
the subject we ever hap pened to meet."—Bolton Free Press.
" The student will fin 1 this a simple and easy system. The
alphabet, the prefixes, m rd terminations, as well as the arbi-
trar;es, appear to be eato of acquisition, and judiciously selected
for rapidity in writing,: while the rul's and exercises are so
plain and succinct that. they cannot be misunderstood."—York
Herald.
" To those who ar,, about to engage in tl e study of this use-
ful and interesting s eitmce -,We would point out this cheap little
work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the
carrying out of the:: system laid down will enable them to
realize most of the, great and important advantages connected
with it. It.is wr Attest l y a practical man, one who has had
many years exp erience in short-hand writing, both for his own
private purpose.

WILLIAM BAINES.
Motion made, and Question put, " That it appears by the
Petition of William Baines, a Protestant Dissenter, that he has
been confined in the county gaol of Leicester since the 13th
day of November last, for the non-payment of 21. 55., being
the amount of a Church-rate assessed upon him for the parish of
St. Martin, in the borough of Leicester, and also for the non-
payment of l-241. Its., being the amount of costs incurred by
'the proc;edings taken against him in the Arches Court of Can-
terbury ; and it, appears to this House, that thus to imprison
William Baines for refu.ing to contribute towards the expenses
attending the worship of the Establi-hed Church, from which
he conscientiously dissents, is to punish him for acting in ac-
cordance ni,h what he regards as a religious duty, and is a lio-
lat ion of the principles r f religious freedom."—(Mr. Easthope. )
