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 cage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, wa., 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, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, sic with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhpod ;" 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 habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. Te
quote passages from the work in proof 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 mal.adiits, to which flesh is heir.—Old England.

far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for

We recommend the work entitled " Manhood,' &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them..—Statesman.
