DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, ric.t only to answer the
same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the Middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for afterlife; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 47/. 16s. 6d. • 3941. Ils. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Fleeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.'

TO BE DISPOSED OF a MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENT, situated in one of the First
Cities of Ireland, most superbly fitted up in every department,
of great extent, and with every convenience for carrying on
business on a very extensive scale. The concern at this mo-
ment is in possession of a very lucrative and first-rate retail
and dispensing business, with a fair wholesale trade. The
wholesale trade especially, might be greatly extended in the
immediate neighbourhood at a most trifling expense.
It would require at least 3,0001. to take the business as it
now stands, and to either one or two persons possessing this
capital so desirable an opening is rarely to be met with.
The sole reason for the disposal of this valuable concern is
on account of the Proprietor entering on quite a different

LITERATURE

THE BOOK WITHOUT A IVAME. 2 Vols.
Cilburn, Lotedott 1841.
i` That this work is of •genuine Irish manufac-
ture, no reader Can doubt for an instant, for its
very title-page is a bull, and a bull of the richest
Hibernian quality. It purports to be " A Book
NI -4110 a a Name," and yet to this anonymous pub-
lication are prefixed the names of its joint au-
thors, Sir Charles and Lady Morgan ; while, in
order that its anonymous character may be still
more strictly preserved, we find, by way of fron-
tispiece, a half-length portrait of Sir Charles
himself, whose frank, sunshiny countenance, is
evidently chuckling with delight at the idea of
his having so ingeniously outwitted the public,
and maintained his anonymity ! If a good title-
page, as has been observed, is half the secret of
a work's success, then this " Book without a
Name" will-unquestionably make a hit, for its
title is one of the drollest things we have .1
met with for many a day. Nor does its
drollery stop here, for it abounds in lively—and
not unfrequently witty—essays and sketches of i
character, many of which, it seems, have al-
ready appeared in periodical publications. Lady
Morgan leads off with a smart and clever essay
on the subject of ancient and modern cookery,
in the course of which she alludes, in terms of
becoming 'veneration, to the immortal Careme—
the .greatest culinary artist in Paris ; and, conse-
quently, in the world, who, on the overthrow of
Napoleon, was invited to preside over George
the Fourth's kitchen, but soon quitted it in dis-
gust, because, as he justly observed, it was far
too vulgar and unscientific for a man of his tran-
scendant genius ! Sir Charles Morgan's " De-
fence of Punning" is an essay replete with
sprightly and ingenious sophistry. We subjoin
an instance in point :—" How false is Pope's re-
mark that a little learning is a dangerous thing !"
Is a little money -dangerous I' or a lithe in-
terest with the Treasury ? or a little health,
or a little temper, a little old wine in one's
cellar, or a little woman for one's wife ?
A great deal of some of these good things
may be better than a little, yet who ever
heard ' drink deep, or taste not,' applied in such
cases? Methinks I see a man refusing a hun-
dred pounds because it won't make him a Roths-
child; or rejecting the mistress of his soul be-
cause she is not six feet high, and as round as a
barrel !" This is dexterously put; but Pope is
right nevertheless. " Anecdotes and Conversa-
tions of the Rev. Thomas Botherum" is _an

ironical satire, in the form of a biographical
memoir, of those grave, formal, High-Church
dignitaries—a race now almost extinct—who
used to wear enormous bushy wigs, large steel
shoe-buckles, shapeless black coats, with pockets
as big as coal-sacks, and whose talk was invari-
ably of tithes, the Thirty-nine Articles, and the
Papists. A few of these clerical oddities still
linger, we believe, among the fens and solitudes
of the Isle of Ely, where they amuse themselves
by croaking in chorus to each other, like bull-
frogs, about the sufferings and humiliations of
Mother Church; but they are rarely seen
in the civilised haunts of life—and no wonder,
for they would certainly be stared at as
phomomena, and subjected, as, such, to all
sorts of persecutions. There are several
other amusing essays in these volumes,
but we have neither ;space nor time to notice
them in detail; so must conclude by expressing
a hope that we shall ere long find Lady Morgan
resuming her old vocation of novelist. We have
a vivid recollection of her " O'Donnell," and her
" Florence Macarthy," and though we deny not
that she is an agreeable essayist, yet the novel
of real life is her peculiar forte ; and we are not
yet so rich in clever writers of fiction, that we
' can afford to dispense with the services of one of
the cleverest of the day.
