The PHILOSOPHY of EDUCATION, with its Aplication to a System and Plan of Popular Education as a Naional Object. By JAMES SIMPSON, Advocate.

"To these reasoners (against Popular Education) we say, Read this book. We have read many books which beget feelings of elevation and coride for the dignity of man, which improve him morally and socially, but never any, no not one, which lets in such a flood of hope for the fusure terrestrial improvement and happiness of the universal species.. It must become the text-book of all enlightened educationists.". Monthly Review.

"His thoughts form themselves into words with the precision and brilliancy of crystallization."-Metropolitan Magazine.

"The humane and intelligent must hail such a work as that of Mr SIMPSON with a pure and unmixed delight."—Glasgow Free Press.

“He is devoid of prejudice, is clear and comprehensive in his views; and his pages not only embody the most advanced opinions of the day, but present them to the reader in such a connected form, as to add much to their practical value. We therefore earnestly recommend this Treatise to public attention, and cannot doubt that it will materially contribute to promote the important object of its publication.”—Scotsman.

The PHYSIOLOGY of DIGESTION, considered with RELATION to the PRINCIPLES of DIETETICS. By ANDREW COMBE, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and Physician to their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians.

"This may be considered as a continuation of the author's very popular work, The Principles of Physiology applied to the Preservation of Health,' and is executed with the same talent and learning displayed in that publication."-Medico- Chirurgical Review.

"Dr Combe must be placed in the first rank of the popular expounders of science. . . . . . He seems to us to stand alone in the power which he possesses of imparting interest to the matters that employ his pen, without deviating from the sobriety and gravity proper to philosophic exposition."-Spectator.

"The object of the present volume is to lay before the public a and intelligible description of the structure and uses of some of the important organs of the body, and to shew how information of this may be usefully applied both to the preservation of health and to the provement of physical and mental education."-(Preface.) By expl ing in detail the conditions of the healthy action of the different org and their influence on each other, and exhibiting in a clear point of v the best means of fulfilling those conditions, it follows up the ger principles of moral, intellectual, and physical education, unfolded in. Combe's Constitution of Man," and renders them of more easy ap cation by individuals, as well as by communities. The sale of upwards fifteen thousand copies in England and America, within twenty-se months from the publication of the first edition, is some evidence of: usefulness of the work.

"A book which ought to be in every family, and in every medi library."-London Med. and Surg. Journal.

This little work, though not designed for the medical professio may prove very useful to the medical student-perhaps to many medica practitioners. Be that as it may, it is calculated to prove of eminent ses vice to the reading and more intelligent portions of the public at large. ̈Medico-Chirurgical Review.

"It is far superior to any work of the kind that we have met withit ought to be familiar to every schoolmaster and schoolmistress, an cannot be too generally read."-Dr Clark in Cyclop. of Pract. Medi cine, Part XXXIII.

Dr COMBE'S "work upon insanity is short, and sound, and modest like all that gentleman's writings, and richly deserving the perusal o every educated person, whether in the profession or not."-Dr Ellict son's Clinical Lecture on Insanity in Med. Gazette, No. CLXXIX. "The work is not surpassed by any one of its kind in medical science. -Medico- Chirurgical Review, No. XXXI.

"We have perused no other book containing so much of comm sense on the subject of madness, or which presents such striking, instru tive, and practical analogies between that and the diseases of other party of the system, and which renders the reader so familiar with the complair by demonstrating its affinity to other affections intimately known to him -The Medical Magazine of Boston, for July 1833.
