The following are a few of the xe numeros testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being publishe d
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so pre\ relent 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 thi s prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhao I;" 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 es tablish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in preof o f our assertion would
be departing from the established rules oft-he daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of : the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confident e in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little inch- bted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.- -Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Mar ;hood," is one of the
few books now coming before the public o 1 such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being s' rictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligild e to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing; teeries of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vi. ;ions habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed c eit between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily cumin e from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very questionabl e tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Viaving, however, been
induced by the character given of this. work by an intsagent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, a nd now feel no hesita •
tinn in saying that we arise
from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the a reirce of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to yea .th, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudde; i vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactoe
.y," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many disees 2s, such as Pulmonary.
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto, I the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper tim, is and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as ft.vourable a termination
as any other class of ffections. Wit do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply ii idebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted , so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative Journa I.

We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all class es. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result f roe i such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by 110, se who stand most in
need of them.—Stlatesman.

The new Number of " Bentley's Miscellany"
for December well sustains its high reputation. It is as
various as ever, and numbers among its writers some of
the cleverest men of the present day. George Cruik-
shank, Leech, and Crowquill contribute no less than
twelve comic illustrations. The literary contents in-
clude the graphic Romance of Richard Savage," which
well deserves the popularity it has acquired; the more
we sec of this story, the more we are convinced that it
is the best which has appeared in the Miscellany since
" Oliver Twist." The genius of humour seems to preside
over this periodical. Melancholy herself would almost
be tempted to relax her rigid features into a loud laugh
over " Giles Chaw-Bacon's Adventures," illustrated by
George Cruikshank7Albany Poyntz's Family Butler"
—lngoldsby's " Misadventures at Margate"—‘"The
Irish Footman." and `‘ An Unpleasant Predicament"—
Crowquill's " Trifles light Air, including " Equality
—The Pet-Boy's Oration, '"1 he Lovers," "Every Man
his own Cook, " The Two Friends," "The Saw and the
Axe"—George Daniel's " Memo England," &e. Then
we have Stories and Sketches of a more grave character,
such as " The Casale," an exciting and exceedingly well
told story of Neapolitan Banditti—Charles Oilier's
"Night Shriek," a suitable tale for the present long
dark nigh ts—" Almaeles," a Sketch, by an American—
" Warren Hastings," with a beautiful Portrait, &c.
Altogether, this is a capital Number of this popular
Miscellany, which will be welcome to every fire-side.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the
Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Messrs. Magnay and
Rogers, have handsomely contributed to the funds of
the Royal Dispensary for diseases of the Ear, Dean-
street, Soho-square. Serne idea may be formed of the
utility of this Institution, from the fact that upwards of
130 poor patients afflicted with deafness and other affec-
tions of the Ear. attended the Dispensary a few days since.
