OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

" This work, a TENTH Edition of which is now pre-
sented to the public—ten thousand copies have been ex-
hausted 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 inser-
tion of several new and highly interesting cases. The
numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections
of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of con-
sumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully
proves that the principle of the division of labour is no-
where more applicable than in medical practice. We feel
no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society
by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such
person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a
Clergyman."—Sun.
" Messrs. Curtis's work, called MANHOOD, is one
of the few books now coming before the public on such a
subject, which can lay claim to the character of being
strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully in-
telligible to all who read it. The moral and medical pre-
cepts given in it, render it invaluable."--Magnet.
" The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MAN-
HOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of
maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious
habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed
out between the assigned cause and the effects is percep-
tible to every capacity."—Age.
" This is a work that we fear there exists too much
need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for ge-
neral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies,
whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is
here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical tech-
nicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best
mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or
apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the un-
married, this little work alike affords consolation and cure
in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in
recommending it to general notice."—Essex and Hens

Mercury.
" The scientific views taken by the authors, of the
source and origin of many of the most distressing effects
of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced surgeons ; and the result of
our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us
with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the
authors, and to satisfy us that those intrusted with the
care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which Mesh is heir."—Old England.

IRISH WIT.--In Darlington, the following dialogue
took place between a farmer and an Irish reaper—the lat-
ter considerably under the cormron stature :—lrishman
Do you want anybody for the harvest ? Farmer—Yes.
Irishman—Will you take me ? Farmer—No, ye're too
little. Irishman—Arrah, now, and do you cut your corn
at the top.—Tyne Mercury.
THE LADIES OF CALCUTTA.--They reach India with
uncultivated minds—uncultivated. certainly, though the
soil may have been dealt with, in a view to productive-
ness, as far as such soil can be prepared, up to the age of
fifteen or sixteen years, by the routine of female boarding
schools—and from that hour the means of farther culti•
vation are, practically, unavailable. They are forthwith
flattered and flirted with, and ultimately given or taken
in marriage, and the maternal cares soon after disincline
them from keeping up the little they bad acquired, so that
even their most common accomplishment, music, is soon
neglected,. They read but little ; they have to listen to
their husband's prosings about cutcherry, or parade, or
his chance of an appointment ; they become listless from
the climate ; and thus, instead of our having, in our
Indian parties, the well-informed conversational woman,
or the buoyant-spirited girl, thinking of nothing but the
moment's gratification, and beaming life all around her,
we have the languid and unhealthy woman, to whom the
klll% biense-ances of society are a trouble, and whose flock of
children occupy her thoughts, or we have the wary-minded
#44teeittl.t2b()ON girl, whose every word and movement are calculated on
