• 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 and 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 se
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseasee, which arise
from certain secret practices, 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 lunns, 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 v. horn the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
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, en 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, tahes, &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, anal a standard whereby to judge, when

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF-
FICE, 1, KING WILLIANI-STRtET, LONDON.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob- '
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is '
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding '
yeari is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
thrie-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.

The first division of profits took place on the 130% of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on.,the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the opera

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true risk
of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,
