EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.
" The editor has deserved well of his country and of the
church of God for his present undertaking."
" A very high mcted of praise is due to the pious and bene-
volent editor for haviog, at the expense of a large sacrifice of
money as well as of tin le, aci-omplished an undertaking to which
hitherto only the exerti.ms of an episcopal bench, and the ex-
penditure of national fun ds have bi en deemed adequate."
" Sacred regard has b een paid to the moulds of thought
and expression which our venerable translators had used."
" A multitude of the em endations are admirable, and while
they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they
strikingly tend to elucidate, the truths and facts of the sacred
oracles."

" The editor has impairer! no doctrine of the Gospel ; has
ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no vio-
lence to, the evanizelical spirit of the inspired oraci. s. In not
a few instances he has shed 14, 'ht on the sacred text by placing
it in a clearer point of view ; while by bAter renderings he ha;
removed many contradictions a .nd indelicacies out of the way of
the English reader."

This Work, a Sevent . Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance„ hes be .en very much improved and enlarged
by the addition ,f a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as als, 7 by tb a insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. Tilt: book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very am ple and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, whit. h, for some,' unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ord ;nary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and arot tier I by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result fror i the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a ca ,nsiderable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to 2, eertair i class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were fur ther convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the later ,t sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain. secret • praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and. undiviid ed attention to this department of medical
practice. The not nberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the 1w igs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, w hit.th, however, when traced to their source,
are found to re! silt from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the princip lo of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than m medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that thei e is no member •f society by whom the book
will not be foun tl useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a P heeeptor,. or a Clergyman.
The PAREN 7, who beholds his beloved child pining

sumption, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tent .s of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, w'no perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF-
FICE, 1, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction 04. 60 per Cent. wr.s declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk
of life dur;ng residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,
