TRUTH, a NOVEL. By the AUTHOR of
NOTHING. _

" Dull impious trash," &c. &c.—Literary Gazette.
" A virulent, but vapid attack, which a contemporary has made
upon this novel, induces us to observe, that the philosophical spirit
with which this work is filled, has been ever of the most essential
service to religion, inasmuch as it has tended intariably to the de-
struction of superstition and fanaticism, and to the inculcation of
tolerance and religious freed0m......... Those who wish to con-
template a glorious model of disinterested virtue, patient persever-
ance, and dignified forbearance, must seek them in these interesting
volumes."—Literary Chronicle.
" To all who are interested in the grandsobject of religious edu-
cation, in the nature of the human mind, anti in the process of the
formation of .pinions, this work will be a source of deep interest,
and a topic of lasting consideration. Like the author of Tre-
maine: the writer has considerable power of drawing character,
and represents scenes of interest and humour with a very striking
pen. Accurate and lively pictures of manners, conversations of
spirit and lite, delineations of the finer shades of character;—there
is enough of all this in these three volumes, to make them accept-
able to the common reader."—Atlas.

" The present publication, being clothed with many of the at-
tractions of a novel—such as graphic descriptions of character,
striking incidents, and an engrossing story—is almost sure to in-
volve its readers in religious controversy. The author is acute,
eloquent ; he assumes and sustains a tone of high and pure moral
feeling; and display 3 much practical good sense."—Scotsman.
The Author of Truth' is a man ano ordinary mind
The moral of the novel is, that the meek and beneficent chancier
of CURILT and his doctrines ought to be the primary object of our
imitation; that they ought never to be perverted into sources of
persecution—of peevish moroseness—of domestic bickerings—of
artifice and petty immoralities, which poison the cup of life; anll
lastly, of that anxious servitude to forms and sectarian principles
which begets a sour spirit of disputation, and renders us repulsive,
unsocial, and mischievous to all around us. The object in ren-
dering the heroine a freethinker, is not, we conceive, that of offer-
ing a model for imitation ; it is simply to shew how the unchris-
tian spirit of persecution for conscience-sake re-acts upon ourselves,
by corrupting the heart, vitiating our manners and morals, and
poisoning our happiness. The hero of the novel, Mr. Evanshaw,
is the beau ideal of a Christian Gentleman. This character is equal
to anything in our language, and infinitely surpasses the laboured
character of Sir Charles Grandison, or any of thrheroes of Rich-
ardson. It is astonishing how our author contrives, by mere de-
scription, and delineation of character, to excite and sustain in the
reader an intense interest This part of the work (the de-
scription of the Scotch families in middle life) is replete with
humour, and, whilst it will afford amusement to the higher classes,
it is a lesson of admirable instruction to the numerous individuals
of the M'Tack genus."—Morning Chronicle, Sept. 7.

" Domus et platens uxor."—Hon.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is
insured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual Friend-
s/lip." is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, says Johnson, "we approach in some degree of association
with celestial intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the he-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na-
tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonised
sufferer more than doubts the chance of Mier. To all such then,
we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength,
felicity ; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as
they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath
—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation
of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily,
and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric
from the position so presumptuously taken up. we deviate from
general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own
honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we
reftr the sufftring community of either Sex (especially those entering
into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance
is given for personal consultation; and letters from the country are
immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice
and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world,
however distant.
