A Treatise on Diet and Regimen . By AV . H . Robertson , A'l . D . Churchill . AA ' e have perused two numbers of this medical serial , and are free to acknowledge that we have done so with satisfaction . The author ' s practice appears to be engaged among a class of dyspeptic and hypochondriacal patients , whose ailments , of all others , baffle the skill of the Esculapian artand whose diseases are too often consideredboth by the
, , faculty and by those in stalwart health , as bordering on the doubtful . Short-sighted is this view , if not unfeeling ; regimen and diet form the intestinal discipline , without which man can hardl y hope to enjoy moral and physical power ; for as even mind will yield to pain , so it becomes a grand point of investigation to determine the best method of directing the natural agencies . As other numbers are to follow , we await their publication , nothing doubting but they will be equally deserving public attention .
A Treatise on Corns , Bunions , 8 ; c . By Lewis Durlacher , Surgeon-Chiropodist . Simpkin , Marshall and Co . The author appears to possess considerable experience in this department of tiie healing art , and does not confine himself to corns , but to the diseases of nails and the general management of the feet . The plates illustrate the nature of the principal ailments , and the treatment of them appears to be attended with general success . There is much
candour in the remarks , and the cases especially are recorded with clearness and simplicity . AVe recommend the work , not simply as a well-arranged treatise , but as a proof of the author ' s success in a class of ailments not generally understood , nor sufficiently attended to .
The Herald of Peace . Thos . AA ard and Co . The proceedings of the thirty-first anniversary of the Peace Society are worthy of perusal , as is the address of Charles Hindley , Esq ., M . P ., on the 18 th May , with the remarks of other gentlemen present . In the number for April , iu a short article on " the American Peace Society , " there appears to be a division on the part of our transatlantic friends as to the advocacy of " Defensive War . " The editor of the " Herald of
Peace" observes that , in the absence of information , the London Committee defer any opinion—this is curious . As a principle , " Defensive AVar , " we consider , may be debated fairly without specific information . Truth is truth—honesty is honesty—and neither admit of delay or compromise .
The Patent Journal and Inventors Magazine . This number ( 54 ) , among many new patents , describes one of extraordinary magnitude and importance by Brother Major Bartholomew Beniowski , of Bow-street , Covent Garden , for certain improvements in the apparatus for and process of printing , and should the apparatus be found successful , it will effect possibly the greatest revolution in this intellectual art—an art whereby the moral actions of the universe are
directed . It is singular that , at this very time the memory of the immortal AVilliam Caxton is about to receive a tribute of monumental respect . His remains for centuries have remained in the ; tomb—but his spirit probably may observe with complacency , the vast change which Time has effected on his own glorious invention . The sceptic may smile at the present attempt , but such would have spurned with ridicule the power of steam , which acts with almost greater speed than his own thoughts .
