Forbidden Fruit, for Young Men. By Major Seton Churchill. 

 Pp. xii.— 269. (London: Nisbet & Co. 1887.) Price 2s. 6d. 



This excellent little work is intended chiefly for the use of young men as a 

 warning against physical and social evils. It is written in such a robust,

 Wyman & Sons. 1886.) 



The author, in his preface, states that this work is intended for the use of 

 Medical and Divinity Students. 



With a vigorous pen he attacks the morl^id, unhealthy sentimentalism of 

 some religious professors and socialists, and if his suggestions were adopted 211 

 toto, we should certainly have a revolution in modern society.
