The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inherent privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselc.., and
even bad kooks. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved hubits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in peed of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. 'the
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Alessrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming before the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
