It is the work of Indian artists, and while in point of extent it
is unmatchable, it is also one of the finest specimens of that
minuteness of detail and delicate manipulation for which Indian
ivory working is so noted. The amount of labour bestowed on
this model must have been immense. It is net ' the hasty pro-
duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica-
tion. All the multitudinous carvings and inlayings of the ori-
ginal building are expressed in the copy with every appearance
of exactness ; nor is the resemblance limited to the outside
alone : the interior is also finished in the same minute style,
and contains the tombs of the Shah and his Consort, exqui-
sitely and elaborately worked. On the whole, this model pre-
sents a surprising and beautiful effect, and forms one of the
most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis."—Morn. Chron.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved anti enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.

The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Conference yester-
day was extremely gratifying. When so many earnest

laws on principles of justice, and declare that they will
be contented with nothing less, we cannot resist the con-

The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the 'cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when

he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipienktate.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred charact is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
