"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the tellies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

STEAM NAVIGATION. The Steam Navigation Bill
(recently introduced into the House of Commons by Sir G.
Clerk, Sir G. Cockburn, and Mr. Corry) has just been isssued
as amended by the Committee, and a re-commitment. Se-
veral new clauses have been added, which enact that steamers
are to be provided with paddle-box boats ; that a penalty not
exceeding 1001. is to be enforced on owners of vessels not
transmitting the required declarations most recently made
with respect of such vessels; that all indictments arising out
of this Act are to be preferred by direction of the Lords of
E SWISS k,ANTONS. —ln these re.
the Committee of Privy. Council, or Commissioners of Cus-
toms; and that this Act is not to repeal the Passengers' Act,
5 and 6 Vict. c. 107.

possessed with their peculiar national
jealousy of anything that hampers individual liberty, it is
compulsory on parents to send their children to school. The
poverty of their parents is great, yet they do not think of
eking out the family meal by the scanty earnings of the
child withdrawn from the lessons of the teacher, to work,
In the increased sobriety, forethought, and self-respect
which education inspires, they find abundant recompense for
the temporary privations which the expense of that educa-
tion, slight as it is, imposes. With its population of 2,200,000,
little more than that of London and its suburbs, Switzerland
has thirteen large and efficient normal schools, in which the
future schoolmaster receives not only an intellectual but a
partially industrial training. England, with its population
of sixteen millions, has only six normal or schoolmasters'
schools which deserve the name. In Switzerland, then,
where each canton has its own internal government, we see a
great and efficient scheme of education at work. Here the
formal instruction of the school is succeeded by the practical
training of industrial or agricultural life. There is no
antagonism between the two. Except in the Catholic can-
tons, where the Jesuits limit all speculation of a religious
kind, opinion and action are free in Switzerland. The edu-
,.9tirm b^arg its fruits. It has been in operation only sire,
1832 ; but in the younger part of the population, who alon,
have enjoyed the benefits of it, its results are perceptible in
their increased sobriety, industry; and forethought,—,Douglas
