Literary Notices.
words may be taken as both—for while it may not certainly be said to be intended to promulgate its objects , the abuse is of so harmless a nature , that it certainly must tell in favour of the Order . Such a work is too clearly among these evidences , that an increased number of asylums for the " feeble-minded" are necessary—not to claim our commiseration—the more so , as it is painfully observable that the name of the adorable one and his magnificent precepts are treated with that kind of freedom which prevents any comment on the folly of a man xvho , for the mere purposes of inane hostility , is thus totally oblivious of the moral duty due to society .
A Retrospect by one who has seen . This , a modest brochure , referring it is believed to Major Trevilian ' s unblushing declaration , that it is just to violate the masonic obligation ! The author deals mystically with his subject , but the interest is well sustained .
Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire . U . S . A . The compiler of this exportation and explanation of masonic statutes for the past year , is entitled to the thanks and respect of the fraternity . These publications do great service to the Order—giving it strength , power , and influence .
Healthy Skin . A Treatise on the Management of the Shin and Hah \ in relation to Health . By Erasmus Wilson , F . R . S . Third Edition . Churchill . Mr . Wilson has created a field for the development of a most important subject , and he has sustained its claim to attention . The fasciculi of " Portraits of Diseases of the Skin , " are a magnificent contribution , whether examined as a work of art or science . The great
work of Alibert is outrivalled , and in the beauty of the pencilling , an artist will find a study for contemplation . Another work " On Diseases of the Skin , " with coloured engravings , has entitled itself to the most favourable consideration ; but our urgent attention is to the third edition of " Healthy Skin , " p . 238 , 8 vo . It is not inaptly inscribed to Edwiii Chadwick , C . B ., in admiration of his indefatigable labour in the cause of sanitary reform . The author in this little volume has acted with boldness , inasmuch as reducing the stupendous power of his former works , to the level of a popular essay , he may have to encounter the shaft of severe criticism ; and yet we question whether he is not correct
in his view ; to the profession he has given a splendid addition to its archives , but which to the public at large is a dead letter ; in fact , for the mother to look thereat , would be to alarm rather than to convince , while this popular illustration can be read without creating any other feeling than a desire to comprehend and to profit by . We look on this last labour of Mr . AA ^ ilson s to be equally important with his grander efforts , and must strongly recommend its perusal to those ladies who
would sustain their loveliness , by preventing the encroachments of blemishes , for it seems " brigands" in the skin are ready to rob them of their beauty , as there are brigands to take the same liberty with their purse . Where there is so much to praise , there may be a little to censure , e . g ., we should have preferred the prescriptions of certain efficacious and elegant formukB , instead of being referred to a chemist . But there are spots on the sun ' s disc , and Mr . Wilson ' s work will , notwithstanding , be considered as most valuable .
