CLIRA : or, Slave Life in Europe. With a
Preface by Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON, Burt.
"It is intended to exhibit a picture of all the stagel of society,
from the cellars through the saloon to the garret, in order to prove
that the conventional bonds of civilised life are even more galling
than the rude letters of the African ; and that many a white slave
would have something to envy in tke lot of Uncle To n."—Sir Archi-
bald Alison

" There is great power in • Amberhill,' and its faults are forgotten
in the sustained excitement of the narrative. There are in the
book some of the shrewdest sketches of-character we have ever met
with. If we suppose the story to be the work of an artist, the
leading character to be !marine I, and her whale career from first to
last to be shaped by design, we must regard it as a wonderful work
of creative g,enias."—Press.
" There is talent and vigour about this work ; wo welcome it, in
spite of the morbid and painful interest of the story. The story is
told with great energy and some eloquence."—Athenreum.
" ' ' appears to be intended as a lesson against weak-
ness of character, over-lust of wealth, and disregard of religion. In
point of manner, the book belongs to the school of 'Jane Eyre.
The writer has one great quality for fiction, that of commanding
the attention of the reader."—Speetator.
" This is a striking and remarkable story, with great originality
of plot and vivid delineation of character, drawn by a vigorous
hand. The style is earnest and often eloquent, the characters are
distinctly drawn, and th. interest unflagging."—Sun.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREMA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICIEFORD.
",Dr. Pickiord is known to English readers by his trequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that ho has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which It may be in his p3wer to cot-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who saffar from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
De saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhama, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."
