" Mr. Davis resided twenty years at Canton, where he at
length rose to be chief of the factory ; he accompanied Lord
Amherst's embassy to Pekin ; and he ranks as one of the few
Europeans who have ever really mastered the language and lite-
rature of China. We have a right, therefore, to consider the
statements which ho has now submitted to the public as con-
taining as full and correct a view of this singular people,lof
their government, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the
whole frame of their society, as the many difficulties with which
the subject is beset will admit."—Quarterly Review.

Tho Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the c; dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We bays
no hesitation, however, in saying thatlthere is a. member of
society, lay whom! tho book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has keen the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, ky perusing this
work, be directed, and very muck assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils aro sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at *ace
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to bo consulted daily at their
residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge_
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication musk be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES OF
PLATE.
CAUTION.
It haying been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that
everal_persotus are vending a spurious metal as their NICKEL
SILVER BRITISH PLATE, they assure the Public that
the Genuine Art;Cle can only be had at their. Warehouses, 12,
Wells-street, Oxford-.treet. The Nickel Silver British Plate
manufactured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process,
rendered superior to any other so called, in appearance and
durability; it is equal to silver; all the articles being solid and
of wrought material, they improve with use, and are war-
ranted to stand the test of that strong acid aquafortis. The
()Rowing prices are named as a criterion
