By F. B. COURTENAY,
MEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

" We never commence the perusal of works on this malady with-
out preparing ourselves to meet most appalling descriptions of human
sufferings. It was, therefore, a most agreeable surprise to us to
find this error (as it appears to us) carefully avoided In this work,
and the subject treated in a common sense, and truly practical
manner. . . . No medical man should undertake the treatment
of Spermatorrhcea without first consulting this work."—Medical
Circular, Jan. 13, 1858.

invaluable from its timely application. (Cheers.)
We all know what a small support will save a
drowning man and enable him to reach the shore.
So small an amount of support, given at a mo-
ment of. pressure, will enable a man of genius to
keep his head above water and to reach in safety
the goal of his aspirations. The merit of this in-
stitution is, that whereas genius is of no country,
so likewise the range of its beneficence is not cir-
cumscribed by gesgraphical limits. The foreigner
and the Englishman are equally the objects of its
bounty, and many there are of all climes who have
been recipients of its benefits. There is another
cfrirocciturrneosttalynche w
appheich ns
tohuagthtthneohtigthoorbethoomflitigted. It
htofa
man's genius, the greater his talent, the more cap-
able he is of distinguishing himself in.the career of
intellect which he has adopted, the nicer also are
his feelings, and the more anxious he is to hide his
troubles from the World. The considerate method
in which this association dispenses its assistance—
viz., in perfect secrecy, enables a high-spirited and
sensitive man to receive in his hour of need'suc-
cours beyond all value. (Cheers.) There is, how-
ever, one fault attsched to this society—a fault,
happily, not beyond the reach of a remedy, and
yet one which, I am sure, not only all those now
present, but the inemb rs of the institution itself,
will concur with me in fiillY admitting. That fault
is that its funds are not co-extensive with the ob-
jects to which it is desirable thaf they should be ap-
plied. That defect I call upon you, gentlemen, to
correct, not only by the contribriVons which you,
may yourscl-ves-be dispoied to give, but by exerting
your influence in your reapictive circles to induce
others to furnish the institution with the means of
enlarging the scope of that benevolence which
even in its present limited sphere is beyond all
price. (Cheer,.) The noble lord concluded by
proposing the toast,- which was drunk amid loud
applause.
The health of the noble Chairman was next pro-
posed, in very eulogistic terms, by Sir R. MIIRCIII-
soN, and warmly rec,ived by the company.
The Noble Lord suitable acknowledged the com-
pliment, and then gave " The Foreign Ministers."
His Excellency M. VAN DE WEYER responded,
taking occasion to remark upon the extent to which
Enelish literature was appreciated in Belgium,
and to intimate that an international congress of
literary men was about to be held in that country.
His Excellency conc'uded by proposing "The Li-
terature of Great Britain," for which Professor
Creasy, in the absence of Mr. Thackeray, from in-
disposition, returned thanks in an eloquent speech,
in which he rapidly reviewed the progress of Eng-
lish literature in its various departments. The re-
maining toasts were—" The Literature of Conti-
nental *Europe," introduced by Mr. M. Milner,
M.P., and acknowledged by M. Merimee ; and
"The D stinguished Travellers," proposed by Mr.
Hope, M.P., and responded to by Sir H. Rawliu-
son. The subscriptions and donationS announced in
the course of the evening amounted to about 9001.,
hut Majesty heading the last with 100 guineas.
