One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
:imposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
tense of right determ' no the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.dater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
somprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ana broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
Regleet wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys
its power en the system. This important part of the Work should

duties. The causes of unproductive union are also considered, and

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere 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 business, 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 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 of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable 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 important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! 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 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 observa-
Cols on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, 0..• infection.

much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
