end Social Conditions. and the most in,i
mate Relations Of Men and Women,
The title, Esoierc Anthropoloey, will
seem strange to many. but it is thoroughly
appropriate. AnthroPolo2y is from Anthr9-
pos man, and LogoS description. ESQ
teric, 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,, upon the sacred mysteries of
science and philosophy, TO their chosen dis
Ciples, from their EToieric discourses, which
were given 10 The public. Esoferc Anlhro-
pology Is, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and Obstetrics-On the whole science OF
man-plain in language, full and faithful in
illustration, and written with all the frank
ness OF a private letter, under the seal of
professional confidence 1t contains the
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment Of Human Physiology, with their indi-
viduai and social application; the true ma
ture and hidden cause Of Disease; the con-
ditIonS OF Health, physical and passional:
all that information which every human be.
ing needs, which few dare ask for. or know
how 10 obtain, but which. amid the discord-
ances and depraTiies 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 OF
milions-which threatens the power Of ma
tons, and the perpetuijy Of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishiugly ig-
norant. as well as technically incomprehen-
sble The popular works are superficial,
meager. and necessarily wanting in the
most important matters. The quack books
are fail Of errors, false ia science, absurd
in philosophy, miSCheivOus in morals, and
basely meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medi-
um of some speCioHs charlatan, who wants
patients, or letters of consultation, or who
has some Instrument 10 sell, or some most
rum to palm off upon the credulous.
The world has need Of different book
from any Of these-Such book as has never
been written, and as cannot now be publish
ed in the usual way, sold by booksellers, OF
hawked by agents or peddlers. The author
Of Esoterlc Anthropology, a Teacher,
Physician, public and private Lecturer on
all branches Of Medical Science, has writ
ten this book with a trankness he never
could have used in work for the public, or
one open 10 criticism. II is for his pupils
and patients, for Intelligent men and women,
who wish to understand the deepest myste-
ries Of life; especially il is for the noble and
hereoio felc, who are brare enough 10 exa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise E.
nough to profit by them. There can scar |
cely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need TO ask ply |
sician, TO which this volume does not con- |
tain an answer. It is so complete in this |
respect, that the author hopes and believes |
that 10 one who reads il will ever need TO |
trouble himself with professional c0nsuta- |
lion. II is henceforih his chosen method Of |
medical instruction and practice, and in it |
he has performed the duty he owes man
