OFFICE, 61, MOORGATE-STREET, CITY.
The Report of the Government Commissioners, and the deep
interest which has been expressed in Parliament, and by all
who have the safety of our navy, the success of our commerce,
and the protection of our seamen and fishermen at heart, prove
incontestibly the absolute necessity which exists for the imme-
diate reparation of all our present harbours, and for the f.►rma-
tion of at least 250 new ones. The expense which has hitherto
been one of the insurmountable impediments no longer offers
any obstacle, as by Captain Tayler's meritorious- invention this
Company can form 180- harbours at a less expense than that
certified by the Government Commissioners as the sum re-
quired by the old modes for the formatioi of three. The fa-
cility of construction enables this new Floa'ing Breakwater to
be affixed, and harbours of refuge formed, on the most exposed
parts of our coasts, where not only none at present ex'st, but
where also none other than by this methotl can be constructed ;
and smooth water for the saf' landing of goods and passengers
by steamers can be ensured at all, even the most exposed piers.
The Directors have great satisfaction in stating that they are
in active negotiation with several places of the highest maritime
impot tance, and that the Admiralty, zealous for the promotion
and success of the undertaking, hare already granted the use of
anchors and ground moorings to enable Captain Tayler's plan
to be put in immediate operation at Brighton.
Prospectuses and other particulars may be obtained at the
Company's Office ; at the Solicitors', 5, Sise-lane, Bucklers-
bury.; at the Office of Somers Clarke, Solicitors, Brighton;

MANLY VIGOUR : a Popular Inquiry into

Remarks on the Treatment of Gonorrhcea, Gleet, Stricture,
and Syphilis. Illustrated with Cases, &c.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau-
tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond.
ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical
practitioners Hence the necessity for the publication of a
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi-
lity has made threatering inroads, the means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin,
and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of
Families, and esrcially of public Schools, is confided the care
of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of
that information and there salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe inanagoment the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen-
trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for
the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities.

" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate
and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with
an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical exper.ence."—Planet.
The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in
no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and sf.cresy
than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into
vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are
given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting
truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with-
out affording a remedy. It shows how " Men'y Vigour"
temporarilyimpaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be
restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the
consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous
style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange-
ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the
mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger.
"Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and
will demand that medical works for public study should be
devoid of that mysterieus technicality in which the science of
medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work
before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very
strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring
doubtle:siy (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the
eye) an entire devotedne.s to a deeply important branch of
study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds
in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering
consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can
be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a
warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent
blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi-
dently the production of a mind long an I practically conver-
sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human
varganization."—Magnet
The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief
anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded
union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of
matrimonial obligations. This essa 3, is most pa. ticularly ad-
dre .seci to all suffering under a despondency of the character
alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the
drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.
