The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which far some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the of dinary practitioner. Te 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 have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the 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.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to he consulted daily at their
residence, No. 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 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 POST OFFICE LONDON DI-
RECTORY for 1841, comprisiny, amongst other in-

formation :
A STREET DIRECTORY, being the first ever published
in the Metropolis. All others have omitted either the Nobi-
lity and Gentry. or the Merchants, Traders, and Tradespeople ;
the present work includes both, and is therefore really a" Street
Directory."
COMMERCIAL DIRECTORY, the only one published
always giving full Christian names ; and in cases of females in-
variably stating whether " Mrs." or " Miss."
TRADES' DIRECTORY, in which every Trade, as well
as appearing; in its proper place, in the " Commercial Direc-
tory," is arranged distinctly, and the various subdivisions of
every one of the two thousand Trades are accurately defined by
suitable distinguishing marks.
LAW DIRECTORY, the most accurate work on the sub-
ject extant.
COURT DIRECTORY, famishing the most recent Ad-
dress in London, and the Country Seat ef each Peer and
Member.
PA RLI A MENT ARY DIRECTORY, universally ad-
mitted to be the most accurate Peerage and Parliamentary
Guide published.
CITY DIRECTORY, containing exclusively the Com-
mon Council, as elected December 24, 184ng 0.
the most recent
POST OFFICE DIRECTORY, givi
arrraegements, including those for carrying into effect the sys-
tem for the Registration of Letters; Money Order Office;

rectory for 1841." Price Eighteen Shillings.
An Edition, containing the Commercial and Coart Direc-
tories, price Six Shillings and Sixpence.
any Either of these works may be ordered of any Genera
Post Letter Carrier for inspection ; if not approved, they
roil
be received back without charge.
They may likewise be obtained from any circulating library ;
and one or the other is taken in at most respectable reading
rooms and coffee Louses.
This volume is now one of the most complete manuals of
information on all things connected with the names, profes-
sions, and habitations of the inhabitants of London ever pub-
lished. It is, indeed, a most valuable book of reference for all
persons, whether in trade or not, whose correspondence is ex-
tensive, and whose connections reader it necessary either to
have a very good memory of the locations of their ac-
quaintance, or to refer to a book which will at mice in-
form them where to find them, or address letters, &c., to
them. The Directory contains a Street Directory, in which
the streets are alphabetically arranged; a Commercial Di-
rectory, in which an immensity of names is alphabetically ar-
ranged, without respect to trades and professions, though the
trades and professions of the different persons are respectively
subjoined to tine names ; a Trades' Directory, in n hick the
trades are alehabeticelly arranged, and under each head of
trade the names of the tradesmen set forth; a Law Directory.
Court Directory, Parliamentary and Banking Directories ; and,
in a word, so great a mass of useul information set forth with
such good judgment and arrangement, that it is almost impos-
sible for the most ignorant and inexpert not to find out, in one
part or other of the volume, that of which he is in search. The
book possesses what is in all books a desideratum, but in a book
of this kind, a sine qua non—that is, an arrangement which
occasions no confusion, and which is so simple that anybody can
comprehend it. It has been compiled with great labour, and
is, as far as our judgment and examination of its pages go, ex-
tremely accurate, and remarkably free from errors. '—The
Time., Jan. 25.
" Again come we to another work—great and magnificent
almost in size as Mr. Bohn's extraordinary catalogue (of which
moo e next week), the Post Ofice London Directory, contain-
ing the names of the inhabitants of all the streets in the me-
tropolis, according to their numbers, without regard to their
being nobility, gentry, or tradesmen—then separate lists of
every trade distinctly by itself—then separate lists of every per-
son previously named, but divided into a Commercial Directory,
and a Court Directory ; to all which are added, not only every-
thing contained in the Court Kalendars, but a mass of inform-
ation connected with the Post-office, the despatch and receipt
of letters ; rates of postage to every part of the world ; a list
of every conveyance leaving London, whether by sea, by rail-
road, by coach, by canal, or waggon; and, in fact, everything
that can he desired, and ten times as much as can be expected
in a work of the kind."—John Bull, Jan. 9.
" Since our former notice of this publication, very consi-
derable additions and improvements have taken place. A
Street Guide, on a somewhat !level plan, has been added—the
houses running, as usual, in the order of their numbers, and
the off-branching streets being noted; which furnishes the
seeker with a direct guide to the localities of particular houses.
Thus, in Pall-mall.-
7. Scottish (Widows' Fund) Life Assurance Society,
Kean, agent.
8. Metcalfe, J., seal and copper-plate engraver,
Waterloo-place.
9. Andrews, William, and Co., helmet-makers.
The names of both gentlemen and traders are also incleded in
the Street Guide. The information respecting the Govern-
ment Offices is made fuller, as was recommended ; the staff of
the establishment being given as well as the chiefs. The same
remark applies to the Public Offices, and the Law Directory.,
This last, indeed, is a work by itself."—Spectator, Jan. 9.
" This volume claims favourable notice, for the great conve-
nience of some of the improvements observabV in the arrange-
ment of the Directory. We never before saw a Street Guide
which was not either limited to Gentry or merely occupied with
Traders. This includes both ; to the manifest advantage of
both. Another very obvious improvement is its manner of
pointing out the intersection of the principal streets by other
streets. The long line of Oxford-street, for example, is marked
by all the lesser streets that go out of it on either hand; and
the convenience of knowing at what exact point er number of a
large thoroughfare the leas known street will be found, is thus
easily attained. Reforms are also observable in the other di-
visions of the book, which are much more complete than in
former years."—Examiner, Jan. 10.
" What the work just named supplies to the fashionable, this
does to the general world of London ; as, instead of being
limited, as was formerlfthe ease, to gentry or to traders, it in-
cludes both, and is, therefore, really a ' Street Directory.' The
intersection of the principal streets by others is pointed out—a
new and pod idea. —Globe, Dec 22.
This edition does great credit te the skill and industry of
the compiler. By superior arrangements and increased in-
formation, all its predecessors and competitors are thrown into
the shade; all other Metropolitan Directories were limited to
Gentry or to Traders—this includes both ; and, by showing the
intersection of the principal streets by others, great ficility is
afforded in finding the situation of any street or court in length-
ened thoroughfares, and may, on this account, be considered as
in some measure superseding the necessity of referring to a
map. We canntSt afford space to enumerate the many other
advantages which the present edition of the Post Office Di-
rectory possesses ; but we may mention that the full Christian
names of parties are given, histead of initials; all the Counsel
and Attorneys of the Metropolis are inserted, and not only the
town residences, but the country seats of Peers and Members
of Parliament; and, from the official situation held by the
compiler in the Post-office, lie has been enabled to avail him-
selfie "
of all the facilities which his appointment affords, to give
the most correct and latest inferrnation.—Weekly Dispatch,
Jan. 10.
" We noticed some proof sheets of this work a few weeks
since, with new improvement,. it is now published complete,

and comprises, among other information, a Street Directory, a
Commercial Directory, a Directory for Law, Trades, and the
Court (including the nobility, gentry, and others not engaged
in trade or commerce), for Members of Parliament, the City
(including the public functionaries, Common Councilmen,
&c.); and gives, as might be expected, the most ample infor-
mation relative to the Post-Office. ' It cannot be necessary to
state in detail,' says the compiler, all the improvements effected
in the present edition. Every division of the book, and every
page, contains much that cannot be found in any other book
for the year 1841. Eyery particle of the immense armeint of
information contained in the following pages Las been collected
during the latter part of the mouth of November, and very
much even in the present month. In the City Directory the
list of Common Council is that of the members elected on the
21st of the present month. In any other Directory for 1841,
the list published will, on examination, be found to be the list
of those elected on December 21st, 1839, for the year cycling
on the 2lst of December, 1840. Ani so it is in every other
division of the book. Did space admit, thousands of instances
could be adduced in which tho information is furnished a year
catlier than in any other Annual Week.' We have looked
over this Directory with some care ; and, as far as we can
judge, it appears to be the most copious and correct work of
the kind hitherto published. Altogether, we can safely recom-
mend it as a Directory evecially adapted for all classes, and
country as well es town."—Sun, Jan. 8.
" This handsome volume reflects the highest. credit on the
enterprise and activity of the Proprietors. Each year some
improvement is effected which tends to add considerably to its
usefulness and value: In addition to its former contents, we
have this year a Directory for the Court, and another for each
street, so that it may no* be considered as complete and as
serviceable for reference as it is possible such a work can be
rendered. It has another recomrnendation,in having been cor-
rected up to the last week in the. past year—an instance of des-
patch almost unprecedented, and only to have been peeormed
by the excellence of the arrangements, and the rapidity with
which copies were thrown off by the Proprietor's steam-presses.
The Work is, in every respect, superior to any " Directory"
ever yet issued in the metropolis, and is indispensable to every
Person engaged in tratto in London or its vicinity.—Britannia,
Jan. 16.
" The work contains ten distinct Directories ; the first of
which, the Street Directory, may be taken as a fair sample of
..the entire book,•aml of its immense superiority over all others.
Prevous ' Street Guides' have excluded the nobility and gen-
try or the tradespeople—curious Street Guides ! This includes
all, and is, therefore, a Street Directory'—the only one yet
in existence—of the Metropolis; it, besides, exhibits the inter-
section
of the streets by each other—valuable information in
long thoroughfares. Then follows the Commercial 'Direc-
tory.' Next the Trades Directory'--a most elaborate com-
pilation, occupying 248 pages of small print, in treble columns.
The Court Directory' appears much the same aocher works
on the subject, unless that it is, perhaps, fuller. rla-
mentary Directory' gives the idea of having been compiled
expressly with the view of distancing competition. The City
Directory' comes next, and is followed by the Post Office in.
formation, so given that any ono requiring accurate and precise
information on the subject must refer to it The Con-
veyance Directory' in which is the railway matter, some of
which is as recent as any that has yet appeared in our columns.
The Banking Directory' concludes a volume which
may be fairly considered a model of compilation, and is a
high credit to the establishment from which it emanates. We
find one feult with this work—its title—which is, indeed, no
index to its voluminous contents, but rather gives an idea of a
common London Directory, than which nothing can be more
different. The Pest-office Directory in its Parliamentary in-
formation, in that relating to Government Offices, Ambassa-
dors and onsuls in the Country Towns, in its Provincial News-
paper table, in its Post-office Regulations, Routes •f Mails,
Railway Mails, and Cross-road Mails, Railway and Steam-
packet intelligence, and the Conveyance Directory generally,
in its Banking Intelligence, and copious details on the subject
of Fire and Life Assurance, contains information nearly as de-
sirable to Provincial as to Metropolitan residents, and should
certainly bear a title more indicative of its contents than that of
Post-:office London Directory for 1811.—Railway Magazine,
Jan. 16.
This is e most comprehensive and extremely useful volume,
and the best of its kind that has yet been published. It con-
tains not only the addresses of the merchants and traders
throughout the metropolis, but these also of the resident house-
holders unconnected with trade or commerce, and is corrected
up to the latest possible date, consistent with its publication at
the opening of the year. Many variations from the plans of
previous Street Guides have been adopted; one of which, and
a most use7ul one, is the strictly alphabetical arrangement of
the names of persons having offices in one house, which we
have ourselves tested, and found quite accurate. The method
of showing where streets are intersected by others has also
been adopted, and the result adds much. to the clearness and
perspicuity of arrangement of the work. In conclusion we may
observe, that the exertions which have been made to render
this Directory worthy of its circulation—upwards of nine thou-
sand in the course of the present year--deserve the support it
has met with, and we can safely recommend :t to the public."—
Morning Herald, Jan. 12.
This useful and laborious work is now before us ; it is a
Street, Commercial, Trade, Law, Parliamentary, Court, City,
Banking, and Conveyance Directory. This Directory differs
from its precursors, inasmuch as Gentry as well as Traders are
included. The Marquis of Waterford's domicile is set down as
plainly as John Smith's, the tinman's. The information under
the head of " Post Office" is of great utility, including the
latest regulations; the postage of letters to and from France,
Central Germany, Sardinia, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Sm.,
is accurately stated. The Conveyance Directory gives accurate
information as to Railways, Coaches, Waggons, Vessels, &c.
Respecting town and country banking-houses, Assurance-
offices, aal Public Companies, there is full and valuable in- •
formation. The arrangement of the Peerage is excellent. In
the Parliamentary list the recent changes are carefully noted.
The list of the Law and Public Offices, with the hours of busi-
ness at each, is, wo think, a novel feature. '1 he list of places
for registration of births, deaths, and marriages ; of law, parlia-
mentary, and patent agents ; of translators and short-hand
writers, are, obvioutly, of high utility. Into a work like. the
Post Office Directory errors will creep ; but, as far as we have
been enabled to glance through it, they appear to be few, and
we may safely pronounce the present production as far surpass-
ing anything of the sort that has hitherto brew attempted.—
Sunday Times, Jan. 17.
*s+6 It has been by interested parties falsely stated that the
Post Office Directory is out of print ; such is not the case ; it is
still to be had at 19 and 20, Old Boswell-court, and of all
Booksellers.

Church Extension.--e Mr. Hume's amendment to Sir R.
Inglis's motion, that an humble Address be presented to her
Majesty, praying that, before recommending this House to
grant any further sums of public money towards Church Ex-
tension, her Majesty would be graciously pleased to take into
consideration the rich and valuable endowments which are al-
ready possessed by the Established Church of England and
Wales, as well as the large sums of public money which have
been granted for Church Extension since the year 1809.
" That her Majesty will be graciously pleased to consider
that, in the opinion of a large portion of the people in England.
the present revenues of the Church, if wisely administered, are
amply sufficient to provide religious worship and instruction
for that portion of her Majesty's subjects belonging to the
Established Church of this kingdom."--The Sun, No. 14,8.33,
Friday, May '22, 1840.
6' We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii., v. 22, is a gross mistransla-
tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation
of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of
the writers. It. is not a little carious, that rneey of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo-
logians as any in the whole book, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly. to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
To CoicitESFONDENTS.—" The Bible.—We have been so
earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis-
cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of
the utmo t importance to the interests of *mankind, that we feel
it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore,
shall be attended to in turn, -as we have reason to believe that
the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention
to the controversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 6,
1516.
" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation
has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example
and incitement. Shall tho Bible, with its many acknowledged
errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors; or
shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind,
with as much of its original purity as it is po,sible for human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—
The Sun, Monday, November '23d, 1816. The Sun, Septem•

17th urges the payment of Tithes from the authority of the
Law of Moses., '
" Ethelieulph's reign furnishes us with a subject, which,
though mentioned elsewhere, it will not b amiss to repeat a
little more largely of in this place ; I mean the grant of Tithes.
The Charter runs thus :
" Ethelwulph, by the grace of God, &c., have, for the
health of my soul, and
good of my people, taken the prudent
resolution of granting the tenth part of all the lands throughout
my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion,
&c. &c.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 851, Indic-
tion the second, at the Feast of Easter."
The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in-
duced several learned men to believe it spurious. But without
entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob-
serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England
claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual
possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of
the Council of Calenith, held in 785, where we find they urged
the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Chea-
ter, therefore,Lis not to be considered/a forgery, it seems at least
to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the
tenth part of the lands mist necessarily be meant the tenth
part of the profits ; which must be owned to be a very forced
interpretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."—
Page 111, Rapin's History of England.
" The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start-
ling, . . . . to introduce within the Christian Church.
It may appear to encroach by those who hare strenuously ad-
vocated the sacredness of the clergy's income, and entered
their decided protest against any reform being necessary, as re-
lating to ecclesiastical affairs."—Espilon Theta.
" The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia •
rnent his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons
went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening
his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenue
of the clergy.' fhe Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the
Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy s revenues—
the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the
Lords that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were
forced to find other means to supply the King's occasions; the
clergy granted a tenth and a-half."—Page 495.
" The Commons, willing to comply with the King's
(Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying
him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving
their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to resign a part of
their riches to the King in order t• save the rest."—Page 509,
Rapin's History of England. (1.)—Sec the Sun, Nos. 14,628,
14,662.
" No mention, rishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes '
in the grand codes of canons,_ ending in the year of our Lord
457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au-
thentic book in the world). During all that period, there-
fore, both the clergy and the Church appear to have been sup-
ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See
Selden on Tithes, and Barb. Rem. 169.
" Tithes, from the Saxon word Tends, which signifies the
tenth part of a thing, may be defined .to be the tenth part of
the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of
lane, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in-
habitants."-2 Black. Corn. 21.
From the'above readings the following scale is deducible :
AlloWing agricultural produce to realise thirty per cent., which
is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being
considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 131. per cent.
Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half-
pence in every shilling quartern loaf a severe infliction for our
spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a
murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the
hungry"—and its denunciations arc upon those who are unmind-
ful of " the child of misery ba4 Used in tears."
Ethelwulph's Charter.—A ttnth of the profit, 31. per cent.
Hebrew. New Translatioi —A tenth of a tenth taken on
produce, 265. per cent.
Hebrew —A tenth of a tenth, on the increase or profit, 6a.
per cent —An Insight to " Forced Interpretation."

" In the House of Lords, the debate being on', he state of
Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool said, ' The Noble Lord had in-
sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right.
He could net go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be-
lieved that. ultimately the question must come under the con-
sideration of Parliament. '—(Hear, hear.)—See Morning
Herald, June 20, 1823.
There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10
per reset. property or income tax ! being oppressive.
Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose
principal of 10,0001. netted him 500/. per annum, paid to the
State 501., under the operation of the tithe composition, an
outlay of 5001. subjects the cultivator to the sameso/. ; this, in-
deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs."
The alarm excited by announcing a proposed continuance
of the income tax was now beginning to operate ; and the city
of London commenced an opposition by presenting to Parlia-
merle; on Feb. 8, two petitions against the tax, one from the
Lord 'Mayor, Alderman, and Common Council, the other from
the Lord Mayor and Liverymen, both expressed in strsng lan-
guage, respecting the odious and inquisitorial nature of the
tax. Tha Ministers and their adherents increased their efforts
to make it appear that the opposition to the tax was fastened
by popular clamour and party manceuvres. This attempt re-
ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented en March 18, by
Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders
of the city of London. The number of signatures was 22,000.
March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the
continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers - fol-
lowed on each side. At length every voice was drowned in the
cry of question, and the House divided, when the numbers were,
for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37.
When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose
in the House, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the
lobby and avenues, and the event was felt throughout the na-
tion rs a relief from an Oppreisive burden."—Annual Register

" It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy
Examiner, No. 780, to dabble in chemistry ;to look through
a telescope ;to inoculate for the small-pox ;to abate the viru-
lence of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a
cow ; lastly, and we trust the argument will be deemed con-
clusive—to read the Bible. And in what has all this- pre-
sumption generally consisted? In the anxiety of some men to
kn ex more than it was convenient for other men they should
knew. The moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth—
a truth !—which threatened to militate against a profitable
system of error, then the' awful secrets' were invaded—the
ark of the sanctuary' disturbed. Any Barabbas of the day
was milk-white compared with the daring offender : in a word,
away with him,' Could great men thunder, says Shaks-
peare, there would be nothing but thunder.' Could they
make a thirst for knowledge sinful and presumptuous, there
would be a most inconvenient multiplicity of awful secrets.' "
Having now emerged from the honourable estimation in the
community, we take leave to mention a few whose great names
gave permanency to the system.

It is now more than thirty years since the eminent linguist
'Bellamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical
of the highest literary-character in the country, the "Classical
Journal ;" it is twenty two years since we became adherents to
his promulgations, and with an intent watelinlness, The Sun,
the Exam:Der, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers
amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be
" ofthe utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a
life beyond life."
This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental
Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or "the cruel
and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of
vituperations against them, when one whose purport was and is
" of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and
" a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled
injustice from the press of England.—We hope this will not be
overlooked by the Germanic Diet on the regulations of the
Press.
" What complaint does the bulk of the people make of the
Legislature ? It is charged, in the case of the Corn-laws--
openly and distinctly charged, with inflicting 'anger, disease,
and death on large portions of the cemmunity to enrich its
members. It cuts down the population, as Lord Ashburton
affirms. It curtails the supply of food, it limits the demand
for and the wages of labour. It plunders the working-clases
to put wealth in the pockets of the Aristocracy. All these
things are the very reverse of its duties. It holds power to
cherish and protect the people, and is highly criminal if it
