The following are a few of the notices which have been received : 



" There is a world of suggestions for the management of the passions in this book, 

 and their perusal will not fail to work personal profit." Massachusetts Ploughman. 



"There is a delicacy* frankness, candor, and evident sincerity about the composi- 

 tion, that convinces even the casual reader that the author and translator have only 

 the welfare of their fellow-men at heart. It is a treatise on Love and Libertinism, 

 in a right, proper, and intelligent spirit, and of incalculable benefit to the whole com- 

 munity." The Commonwealth. 



"The book bears no trace of the morbid, unhealthy spirit characteristic of many 

 French books upon this subject." Boston Journal. 



" It treats in an exhaustive manner of the sensual vices common to human nature, 

 and points out the shoals and quicksands upon which so many careers are wrecked 

 through perverted indulgence in Love and Libertinism." Saturday Evening Ga- 

 zette. 



" A careful examination of the book will satisfy the reflecting reader that the author 

 treats this most serious and difficult topic with great professional ability, and with a 

 clearness and propriety of diction and a cogency of argument that cannot fail to be 

 productive of much good." Boston Daily Globe. 



" The subject treated of in this volume is of importance, because of the general 

 ignorance among all classes in regard to it, from a morbid fear of enlightening youth 

 upon the physical ills engendered by misguided passions." Evening Standard, 

 New Bedford, Mass. 



" A very judicious treatment of a very delicate topic. It is full of information, 

 deals practically with physical and social sins, shows their results upon the system, and 

 is a powerful medical plea for virtue and social morality." Providence Evening Press. 



" Many parents, married people, and all charged with watch and care of the young, 

 at least, might derive benefit from its perusal." Congregationalist. 



"This is a timely and highly meritorious work." The All Day City Item, Phil- 

 adelphia. 



"It treats a delicate subject in language that is unobjectionable to the most fas- 

 tidious, and the information it contains cannot fail to do a vast amount of good in the 

 age of loose morals. The debasing and unnatural habits of modern society and their 

 fearful consequences on the race are depicted in a startling manner. Immorality aniJ 

 its inevitable train of diseases are warned against." Sandy Hill Herald, N.Y.
