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-
diffikence by the a 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.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till hree, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as rainnte 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 he
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

Just Published,
THE POST OFFICE LONDON DI-
RECTORY for 1841, comprisinp, amongst other in-

format ion :
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, furnishing the most recent Ad-
dress in London, and the Country Seat of each Peer and
Member.
PARLIAMENTARY DIRECTORY, universally ad-
mitted to be the most accurate Peerage and Parliamentary
Guide publisher!.
CITY DIRECTORY, containing exclusively the Com-
mon Council, as elected December .0.4, 1840.

POST OFFICE DIRECTORY, giving the most recent
arrrangemellts, including those for carrying into effect the sys-

formation, corrected to December 24, 1840.

Post Letter Carrier for inspection ; if not approved, they wil
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 houses.
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 cot, whose correspondence is ex-
tensive, and whose connections render 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 once 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 the names ; a Trades' Directory, in which the
trades are alphabetically 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 useful 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 hooks 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.s, Jan. 25.
" Again come we to another work—great and magnificent
Llissost in size as Mr. Bohn's extraordiniry catalogue (of which
more next week), the Post Office 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 (-an 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 novel 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,
H. M. 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 inclnded 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 PiNic Offices, and the Law Directory.
This last, indeed, is a work by itself."—Spectator, Jan. 9.
" This volume claims favourable notice, tor the great conve-
nience of some of the improvements observable 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 or number of a
large thoroughfare the less known street will be found, is thus
easily attained. Reforms arc 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 formerly the case, to gentry or to traders, it in-
cludes both, and is, therefore, really a' Street Directory.' The
intersection of the incipal streets by others is pointed out—a
new and good idea."—Globe, Dee 22.
" This edition does great credit to 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 f tcility 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 n' cessity of referring to a
map. We cannot 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, instead of initials; all the Counsel
and Attorneys of the Metropolis are inserted,, and cot 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, he has been enabled to avail him-
self of all the facilities which his appointment affords, to give
the most correct and latest information."—Weekly Dispatch,
