L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the Initinan
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not silly stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, et' can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power ef LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment ef every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honsurable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of impertant
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyead measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession ef
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
West and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,
illastrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observa-
tions es the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.
By SAMUEL WOMERT, M.D.,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member ef the University of
Edinburgh, Licentiate ef Apothecaries' Mall, London, Henorary
Member ef the London Hospital Medical Society, lice.
This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment Otiose diseases.
REVIEW OF TIM WORE._

.
La'Mcrt en the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes is the drama ef life which are acted with no spectator but
Comscienee ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
int, vrhick such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philesePky and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally.
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A. father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, neededwherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

NEW GAS BURNERS.-ROYAL LETTERS
PATENT.—Their names are, the Star—the Comet—the
Golden—the Glass—the Ring—and the Reflecting Burners. It is
proved, beyond doubt, by men of Science and gas engineers, that no
other Gas Burners bear comparison with them. Bright as crystal is
the light. Ne smoke emitted. The most economical and the most
elegant of all. The Improvements 'are so evident, all should have
them.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION.
Laboratory, Royal Polytechnic Institution,
October 21, 1848.
Sir,—After a careful examination of your Now Gas Burners,
which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known, I
am compelled to acknowledge that your recent dl.cokery is superior
to all others in economy, and in the purity of the name produced
by it.
By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners,
you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air,
both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all tines, steady
and intensely luminous ; while even under suddenly increased pres-
sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given
I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,
JOHN RYAN. M.D., LL.D.,
Professor of Chemistry.

The whole of the burners are constantly burning at the Establish-
ment of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY, RICHARD
