H E PLAYFAIR PAPERS;
OR, BROTHER JONATHAN.

" Mayfair," we take to be but a nom de guerre under which
the real Pure makes his campaign. He has a free and bold
pen, with a strong taste for the ludicrous. He cannot be re-
proached
with an ill natured tendency to stricture, and his fla-
gellation may he taken as a wholesome, if not very delicate
corrective at the other side of the Atlantic."—Morning Herald.

The Work which is new 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 ai dinary practitioner. Te enter into the
details of 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 nut of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by Whom the bock will not be found interesting, whe-
ther eye consider such person to Mid the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, er a CLERGYMAN.
,The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which ior want ef 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-
tepths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices se often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are 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 th e 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 once
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 outs he
disastrous consequences Which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, Ne. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five ill 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 must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion. Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

CAPTAIN MARRYAI"S POOR JACK
"'Poor Jack' is just completed ; and a most amusing
fellow he is, and a most amusing set of companions he brings
with him. The book, while it is interesting, is hearty, and
of a healthy stamp ; the characters are sketched off easily and
boldly. Capt. Marryat has been very fortunate in his illustra-
tor, Mr. Stanfield; the numerous designs (and very numerous
they are) are executed with great truth."—Times.
