L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mera passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its Influence, or can avoid its sway ; and buslneis, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
Power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
this golden tido 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 of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to as honourable mind?
It Is the effect of conscience. Tho 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 Important
mss. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving awl beloved, he entails the
Most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and noon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
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. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe-

This treatise is the resutt‘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 his reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.

REVEW OF VII WIDEIC.
Laidert on the Infirm ties of Youth and Maturity.—" There aro
scenes is the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these tke result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with ft timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
hits which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before u
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
Philosophy 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, needed ; but wherever
lty 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."
