The .ile, Esoteyic Anthropology, will
seem strange TO many, but 1t IS thoroughly
appropriate. Anthropo!ogy is from A"thr9-
pos. a man, and LOgoS, description. ESQ
lerlc, from ESQ, within, signifies private, sc
cret. interior, and was used by the ancient
philosophers 10 distinguish their private
lectures, given in the interiors OF their
dwellings, uDon the sacred mysteries ol
science and philosophy, 10 their chosen dis
cipes, from their E&gjerTc djacuorsea, which
were given to the public. ES0tcrsc Anl!ro-

Human Anatomy, Physiology. Therapeutics
and 05sietrilE-on the whole SCIENCE oi
man-plain in language, full and faithful in
illustration, and written with all the frank

professional confidence 1t contains tie
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment Of Human Physiology, with their mol
vidual and social application; the true ma
tu!e and hidden cause Of Disease; the con
dtIons Of Health, physical and passional;
all that information which every human be
ing needs, which few dare ask for, OF know
how 10 obtain. but which. amid the discord-
ances and deprayites Of civilization, is OF
priceless value.
There are many subjects connected with
the broad science of Human Life. of the
deepest and most vital interest 10 man and
the race, in regard to which terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
The lives, and sacrificing the happiness o
millions-which threatens the power OF ma
tons, and the perpetuiiy Of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry
mechanical, or chemical, astonishlngly lg-
norant, as we'll as technically Incompetent.
Sible. The popular works are superficial
meager, and necessarily wanting IN the
most important matters. The Quack book
are foil Of errors, false in science, absurC
in philosophy, mischeivous in morals, ass
Daselv meccenary in their motives. In mos
cases these books are the advertising medi
um Of some speciouS charlatan, who wants
patients. or letters OF consultation, or wht
has some instrument to sell, or some nOst
rum to palm off upon the CredulOus.
The world has need OF different bo0E
