LITERARY CHALLENGE.

I am now so thoroughly convinced that this system contains
all the original elements of tuition, which are grounded on the
very nature of the understanding itself,—elements which have
for the greatest part escaped attention, that, animated with the
same spirit which made the mathematicians of the sixteenth
century challenge one another in the solution of difficult Pro-'
blems—a spirit of love and enthusiasm for the ptogress cf
science, I do hereby enatxxxma the Quart...lly and Edinburgh
Reviews, and all the instructors of youth in the United King-
dom, to point out what elementari principle of education has
beeu omitted or overlooked; and in what respect this syttem
can be at variance with itself: for I have asserted that this m-
thod " renovates or strengthens the faculties of the mind, by
bringing into action every mental and physical organ engaged ia
the learning of language, and directing the whole, with simulta-
neous energy, towards one and the same end:"•_

N. C. DUFIEF.

• This method, by being rendered more powerful, which can
easily be done by following up the principle on which the whole
system hinges, would in a short time make the language to be
taught supplant the native language,. by rendering the former
more natural and familiar to them than the latter, the influence
of which would be contiaually diminishing. A conqueror might
even, by this means, extinguish the language of the conquered,
and substitute any other suited to his political views. ilititGou
forbid that such a measure should ever be researtcd to, with the.
help of the means afforded by this work !

FOR PRESERVING Axe BEAUTIFYING tut TRETIL
THE VEGETABLE TOOTH-PO v% DER bits so
-AL long been an appendage of every toilet of rank and fashion.
that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it.
Being composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any
mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is flee from the
usual objections against the use of 'other Dentrifices. Its deter-
sive power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive
particles which adhere to the Gums and the interstices of the
Teeth ; healing injuries in the former, and promoting a ntw
enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It
likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the grans;
and if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state
even to old age.

FOR THE GROWTH OF THE HAIR.
Recommended by the late Dr. Hunter, and other eminent
Physicians.
HUDSON AND COMPANY respectfully ;prom
the Public, that having had continual objections to the fo-
reign name of " H U ILE DIVINE," tberhave, at the nigger
tion of nemerous Friends, adopted that of "BOTANIC OIL,"
u more appropriate, k being made from a manuscript recipe of
Culpeper, the celebrated Engli►h Botanist.
Where the Hair has fallen off from illness, perspiration,
change of climate, &c. the Botanic Oil will infallibly restore it.
In ordinary cases, a 7s. 6d. Bottle will prove its efficacy; but
where there has been great neglect, or where the party is advanced
in Ilk, a certain perseverance is necessary. See testimonials of its
efficacy in a Dissertation on the ILair, enclosed round each Bottle.
It Raise much esteemed by Ladies for dressing the Hair; it makes
it, if ever so harsh, beautifully .nft and giessy, keeps It in curl, and
imparts a reviving grateful perfume. I rice 3s. 6d. 7s. 641. and
one guinea.
