Two Br;ther Officers.

" These Two Volumes set forth the adventures in the perils
of love and the campaigns of peace, of certain gallant spirits ' of
the Line,' whom War and Waterloo permitted to Return to
England.' The author tells his story with all the unaffected-
ness of one who was personally cognisant of the incidents
which he records, and who had both the good sense and good
feeling to appreciate delicately either the singular, the affecting,
or the ludicrous, in the' Drama of Life.' "—Morning Herald.
" Teeming as it is with interest, stirring yet unexaggerated,
the ' Return to England' can scarcely fail to please the lovers
of this species of composition."—Sun.
The volumes before us evince great observation of life by
the writer, and great power of bringing the result of that ob-
servation before his readers in the simplest and most natural
manner.
about his writing, which is its principal characteristic and
charm, and raises his work from a mere story to an exposition
of moral truth."—Argus.
4. It has an air of originality, truth, and freshness which is
truly delightful. ...... It reminds us, in its simplicity and its
happy combination of natural feeling andand strong humour, of
some of the best efforts of the novelists of the past age : such
a work is really a novelty in these days of artificial feeling.
. The story is crowded with incidents, and full of inter-
est."—Britannia. _

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 for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ci 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 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.
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 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 practic'' so 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 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 once
concentrated the twofold relatien of parent and instructor, wilt
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.
