Ey the Author of" MR. ARLE."

The novel before us cleverly illustrates the fact that we have
caste in England. The design of the novel is excellent, and it is
cleverly executed. The characters are well cont•eived and well
drawn. Compared with other popular novels, Caste' would be
entitled to a high place among them as a st,ry. while In the writing
it is far above molt of them. in the composition, indeed,' Caste'
will bear comparison with any fiction of its time, excepting on'y
those of Bulwer and Thackeray."—The

THE HANDWRITING on THE WALL.
A STORY.

By EDWIN ATHERSTONE.
" Thou art weighed in the balance, and found wanting."

" A work of fiction founded upon one of the most striking pas-
sages of Holy Scripture. Difficult as the task has been, the author
has managed it not without ingenuity. The descriptions in many
cases are adequate to the scenes of ualimited grandeur, power, and
splendour which are introduced. A copious flow and sustained
march of imposing language is at the author's command, employed
often with much effect. Mr. Atherstone is in words, in 'act, very
much what John Martin the painter was in design—vast, abundant,
and approaching the sublime."—Literary Gazette.

AN ESSAY ON SEXUAL DEBILITIES.
By the Editor.

"Dr. Piciford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
sal contributions to German medical literature. This is the frit
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nen-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall cletcct any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
end Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this boek
could and its way into the hands of those who suffer from the coin-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
mach money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
