" This Work may be denominated a View of the present
State of Society in France, in its principal trades. This task, so
complicated, so laborious, Lady Morgan has eiecutedwhh ail the
spirit which belongs to an ardent mind, and all the truth
which Is characteristic of an honest and iadepeadeAt. one. The
work is written ih the same beautifully energetic style for which
her former productions were, ard are still so highly estimated.
We are, by the powerful strength of her descriptions, ushered
into the .midst of the scenes width she pourerays, Whether
she converse with the petit pronridtaire of a few acres; the
lady of distinguished rank, or the emineht literary charac-
ters, we make one of the party; aad we ntire from the on-
versaaione either instructed or amused. Her remarks on French
Society are highly interuAr.g, fur they are not founded On hear-
' say, they are not the reult of metaphysical speculation, but are
drawn from actual, and, apparently, very close observation. The
anecdotes of persons and events anterior and subsequent to the
Revolution, with which the work abounds, are exceedingly en-
tertaining, and must prove a source of gratification to those who
are fond of analysing the private-characters of men and women,
'who have, during a long series of years, trade a prominent figure
on the Theatre of French Politics, or of French Gallantry.'

A CHALLENGE,
MESSRS. CURRIE and CO. Surgeons, late in
hia Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove
a single instance *here their medicine and method of cure have
failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in this
particular branch of their profession, has not given rise to oe
unsuccessful ease. They continue to direct their studies to the
treatment and cure of eneroal Complaints, and that derange-
ment of the system, which is the consequence of the pernicious
and wasteful effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued
by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found to be the
unfailing source of barrenness; the other have its ravages fatally
'developed to them by a distressixe state of debility, which, if not
timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote
and ultimate effects, while consumption, loss of muscular power,
and various nervous codiplaints, usually characterise the earliest
,stages a this solitary vice. Of persons languishing under the
disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple", and
has never proved unsuccessful in the course of a long, basis-lour,
and much extended ',ratlike. in the most obstinate and.compli-,
eated eases of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the ure-
thra, spungy excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions,
seminal weakness, sleets, as elso
STRIC'FURES, • jit
Whether recent or of long duration, and which Itavilliaillisa the
skill of other practitioners, are, by theirpreseut improved plan of
treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient
suffering the excruciating paireand elarming hemerrlufge
(recently follows the application of 'the ;tiny caostic. In the.
course of 20 years extensive practice iu.tpis Metropolis, t.
s,
cases of Strictures have been and are daily under their care;
the total.erailicatiOn of which is elected by a safe, certain, and
expeditious mode of practice, smolt tor to any other yet adopted.
The weakness, relaxation, and debility proteediug from this com-
plaint, are speedily removed, atid the patiept restored to sound'
and vigorous health. But where the debility has for Years existed,
a peeper perseverance in their restorative remedies, 'after the
Stricture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive,
the slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first respectability,
have been under the care of Messrs. Curie and Cu. for the me
moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &e. and having
received a radical and peemanent curet request that referenda
may be given to these, as satiatact, evidences of the decisive
superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co, splan of treatment. Malty
of these Gentlemen have hid strictures from tea ick twenty years,
and had. beer. under the care of Messrs- Home, Heaviside, and
other Surgeons of equal eininenee, who attempted the cure by the
application of the.ltinar caustic, without success.
