THE LITERARY JOURNAL;

Or, FORTNIGHT's REVIEW of LITERATURE,
SCIENCE, MANNERS; and POLITICS.

• •
TT is with Proprietors Much gratitude that the
I. of the Literary journal return their acknowletlgmetitii
at thin commertcement of the second year of their Publication, i
for the'very liberal encouragement they have hitherto expe-
rienced. The renewal of the War has proved extreinely.pre- •
jUdiciat to the. success Of such Publitations ; and tlfthe du-
merous literary Periodical Works_ which started with it, the
Literary joutn.alalone survives.
The•plan of this journal, -which is.an attempt to combine
in one work whatever might be interesting to the lovers of
Literature, hU met with general approbation. To a full and
early-Review of every Look .which is entitled to the more par-
tienlar attention of the Public, is added •a complete List 'of
Kew Publications, with short Critiques on 'those which do
not require to be'revietvcdat length.
Original Poetry which is judged- worthy -of.ptcservation—
Biography—Essays, and Correspondence on Literary Subjeds
-;-the'raost iMpartarit Proceedings of our Learned Societies—
Discoveries or remarkable rads of a Scientific Nature—De-
scriptions of theManners' of the.Age•—Views of Politics arid
Polittcal-Economy.,_with an Historical Surntr4ay of Political
OccUrrences—follow in a succession which must present
something interciting_to erz.-ry class of readers. . .
To the Scientific, Literary, and Political Notices subjoined
to each Number, we beg leave to call the particular attention
or the Public, as fair-ping a body of. new .and interesting in-
tellignce, colleded:with much care and pains frorrt a variety
of sources, both tOreign and domestic, and superior, in.the
avowed opinidu of Many men of eminence in these branches,
to whatevei of the kind has' appeared. in this Country. Com-
munications. kr: this department (post-pain)- are gladly, te-
ceived,'and meet with the most prOmpt attention.
Frorn this outline 'of the Plan, -the Public .dill perceive,
that while. it fully supplies the place of a Review, com-
'prehends ail theotlier topics without:whicli a jouroal.of- Li-
terature must be imperfect " No othci- Publication of so
comprehensive a nature at preSent•exists in Europe. . • •
Witkregard to-the .E..xecution of Work, it belongs to
the Pnblic;t9 decide; but the Proprietors feel themselves en- ,
titled -to state, that the eleganee or the type, the paper, and i
he general appeiranee, is.allowed_to surpass that of any other
Periodical Publication. It is published on the Ist and 16th

West End of Newgate-street (removed train Snow-hilf, nn
account of the Improvements there) ;'who for near thirty
•years, have fabricated these Machines ; .and though. they do
tiotclaim the Invention, it being almost as ancient as. Pocket
Watches, yet all that ever came to their knoivledge have
been so 'rude in- their shape, inconvenient in Uearing, and
incorrect in their .perforicunice, as to have been soon laid by
as useless.
This, which they take the liberty to.ofFer to the Public, is
elegant in itselt; most conveniently .used, pertectlyTorrect,
and, what is desirable in ail. Machines.of ,l:ancy, cticeecling
cheap; not liable to be out of -order, and is a most amtibing
Companion' to Gentlemen, who are fond of Walking and
Shootillg; .

Flattering themselves the great Improvement lately made
•has carried it to its nriimatum, they rake this method of
making; it public, to secure to themselves at least the credit
thereof, having. been materially injured by Plagiarists who
have copied their Machines, and passed them off to Gentle-
men as their own Inventions, though at much higher prices,
and very inferior work.

AATHEN Professional- Men of Education and
--Responsibility deviate from the general System by
the selection of a peculiar branch, the santtion of long con-
tinued success is the best criterion of superiority.
Eight years have I devotedisny pradiee to the exclusive
treatment of Three Disorders,.and the successful result of
my plan gives me additional ardor to oppose, .as la as I am
able, -the ravages ;of those Complaints, which are the most
important in the Catalogue of Human Intirmities.
After initiation into. every Branch, as an Army Surgeon,
I formed a wish at an early period of Practice to rescue in-
dividuals froin the ignorance of uneducated men, or the
equally dangerous precipitancy of general Practitioners.
The Three Disorders, to the Cure of which I have de-
voted my attention, comprise every species of VEN E.
REAL INFECTION, whether of a recent or long. 'du-
ration: 2411 y, All kinds of debrlity, whether 'arising from
the habits of school-boys, or the indulgences
~of mature
age : And, lastly, r.tat derange:tient of the system in wo-
men which is called BARRENNESS, or STERILITY.
Numerous Diseases are the result of ignorance, or haste
in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhoea; and.
it not, on-
frequently happeni that the seeds of Life are poisoned by
the indiscretion of an unguarded hour.—lly a superior me-
thod such Complaints are easily cured; and, even where-
others have failed, I trust that I may presume to offer a
radiCal re-establishinpv:

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in
this :disorder, compared with the calamitous situations or.
Men, who,_ from an indulgence in a solitary vice, or the.
prevalent gaieties of a fashionable life, acquire that state
of Debility, which is the unavoidable consequence of such
pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, bin
carefully' conceals his misfortune, it may be sonic conso-
lation thr him to know, that althougb it be an objet of
doubter usicertainty with other Practitioners, the removal
of these DefiCiencies by the. gradual p
V progress of Renova-
tion, is the acquirement of any Experience. -If the rites
of Bacchus or enus have began to reduce Manly vigour,
much anxiety will be Da:vent-Al by an_early Counterac---(
tion of languid- State 4, and' in these cases, 'no great
difficulty will occur. -•

MA.Rit.l ED WOMEN, who have long been disappointed
in their expedations of a Family, may be. assured, that in
most instahces„. such defecis are curable by Medical skill.
The secres:y which is so essential to my• undertaking,
