" This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most com-
plete that has ever been issued from the press—indeed we might
say the most complete. Utility and simplicity

which the author has kept in view. A perfect mastery of the
take down, verbatim, the words of the most rapid speaker. Nor is
this the only• advantage which will accrue from an acquaintance
with this system: the- facility with which the notes may be after-
wards read is a consideration of very great importance.. The
alphabetical characters have the recommendation of extreme sim-
plicity. The signs for eornbination of letters, and the arbitraries,
or marks for words, will be found highly conducive to expedition
in writing. In this department the author hagibeen eminently
successful. To Ladies or Gentlemen who may wish to master the
useful art of stenography. we can cordially recommend this work,
by which a student of ordinary ability, especially if a quick writer,
may be enabled in a very short time to take down literal reports of
sermons and speeches. -We may add, that the professional short-
hand writer may also derive much instruction from this compen-
dium."—Liverpool Standard.
" This is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well written
production. Generally speaking, works on stenography are not
sufficiently entertaining and attractive to obtain numerous readers ;
but we will do Mr. Foster the justice to • say, that he has thrown
much that is highly-interesting in his " plain instructions," and
has very happily blended the entertaining with the useful. Our
author's principal object appears to be to instruct the uninitiated;

but we think his work will prove valuable in many respects even
to those whose profession it is to practice the art. Of course his

illustrations are also exceedingly good, and the various lessons are
given with a' plainness and perspicuity which must greatly facilitate
the learner's progress. In short, to all who are anxious io obtain
a speedy and accurate knowledge of the art of stenography, we
earnestly recommend the work. "—Manchester Courier.

of England in the Foreign Colonial Possessions of the Bri-
tish Crown, is entitled to the cordial support of every con-
sistent churchman.

2.—That as the Society has undertakrn to contribute towards
the maintenance of forty additional Clergymen in the Colo-
nies, the better to provide the means of religious instruction
fur the Colonists in general, especially for Emigrants recently
removed to British North America, it is the duty of every
one who wishes to preserve Protestantism in the Cauadas, to
supply the deficiency occasioned by the withdrawal of the
Government Grant from the Society, by pecuniary contribu-
tions. .

3,—That as the Society has made great exertions to build
Churches and School-houses, and pay the salaries of Clergy-
men and Schoolmasters throughout the British West Indies,
it is the' duty of every one interested in the entire abolition
of Slavery, to promote the spiritual interests of the emanci-
pated Negroes, by assisting the Society in so religious a
work.•
4.—That as the Society has extended its operations to the
Propagation of the Gospel in the East, it is the duty of every
one interested in the extinction of Heat henistn and Idolatry
throughout the British dominions ill India to co-operate with
it in effecting so important an end.

W. B. PROMOLI,
SUCCESSOR TO THOMAS WOOLFIELD,
No. 24, CHURCH-STREET,
ADJOINING THE POSTOFPICE
, ,RESPECTFULLY announces that he has OPENED
HIS NBW PREMISES to the Public. He begs to
renew his invitation to his Friends and Customers to visit
his unrivalled Establishment, and to inspect a Stock remark-
able for its greater Extent, Elegance, and choice of Goods
than any yet collected together.
W. B. P., under the impression that his Concern is really
unique, will, being honoured with the same encouragement
and distinguished patronage with which he has hitherto been
favoured, continue to maintain it on a similar scale of mag-
nitude, by, if possible, a still greater attention to the manu-
facturint, of his Goods, and by a careful selection of the best
of their kind in England, France, Germany, and Italy, his
knowledge and experience of which may be gathered from
the fact, that, for the last eight years, he was accustomed to
act in the latter department for his esteemed friend and pre-
decessor, TH.,As WooLFIELn, who, in return, being at
present on the Continent, is giving him the advantages of his
time and taste in the purchase of articles of novelty.
W. B. P. is now also on oue of his periodical journeys to
London and the Continent, superintending the getting up of
an infinite variety of New Patterns in Fancy Goods for the
ensuing season, which, he doubts not. Will prove as attractive
as those hitherto offered to his Friends.
W. B. P. considers it unnecessary to remind the Public,
that, selling always for Nett Cash, without any deduction,
lie is enabled to• charge comparatively a very small profit
upon his Goods; therefore it must follow, that their Price
and Quality are unequalled. He may further add, that his

DROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
T.. PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
•and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
_ In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.

Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, or any
deleterious ingredient.
** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal
and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak-

ness &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.

Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous (lain of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
w'aich the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor-
ous health.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con.
stitution. When the great Doctor Sweclonr became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with
aviclitfy, and used with undeviating success 'in the most
minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the
cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they .were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious, poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluid's. They
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time,
or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse
to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting,
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests,
by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person
going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such
that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.
Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eiiht
in the morning until Ten at niylet, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.
