male Relations OF Men and Women,
The title, Esoleric Anthropology, will
seem strange to many, but it IsNthoroughly
appropriate. Anthropoogy is from Anthr9-

lerIc, from ESQ, within, signifies private, Sc
crel, interior, and was used by the ancient
philosophers to distinguish their private
lectures, given in the interiors OF their
dwellings,, upon the sacred mysteries OF
science and philosophy, TO their chosen dis
ciples from their ErOtergc discourses, which
were given TO the public. Esotertc Anthro-
pology is, therefore. private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and Obsletrics--on The whole science OF
man-plain in language, iull and faithful In
Illustration, and written with all the frank

professional confidence. IL contains the

ances and deprayities Of civilization, is Of
priceless value.
There are many subjects connected with
The broad science of Human Lille, 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 heallhs, shortening

millionS-which threatens the power OF ma
t:ons. and the perpetuily OF races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astoniSninely ig-
norani, as we'll as technically Incompetent
sibie The popular works are superficial,
meager, and necessarily wanting in the
most important matters. The quack books
are full ui errors, false in science, absurd
in philosophy, mlscheiEous in morals, and
baAeiy meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the adyertising med
um of some specious charlatan, who wants
patients, or letters OF consultation, or who
has some instrument to sell, or some most
rum to palm off upon the credulous.
The world has need ol different book
