"To give forth sound views of science and great philosophical principles, in brief and clear language, is the aim of the Well-Wishers to Knowledge,' and most successfully have they laboured....We are satisfied that our readers will heartily thank us for having introduced to their knowledge the 'Small Books on Great Subjects,' and derive as much delight from their perusal as we have done."-Critic, June, 1844. II. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSIOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PHILOSOPHY. SECOND "The writer has drawn his materials from the writings of physiologists of the highest repute, so that this lecture may be perused with profit by the professional as well as the general reader... Our readers will best understand our idea of a good lecture upon an abstract subject, by perusing the one from which we have quoted.”—British and Foreign Medical Review, April, 1843.

"We welcome the present volumes, assured that every person who reads them will rise from their perusal with the tone of his mind strengthened and improved."-Literary Gazette, November, 1843. III. ON MAN'S POWER OVER HIMSELF TO PREVENT OR CONTROL INSANITY. SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED.

Much interesting and useful information for the farmer, gardener, and valetudinarian, is to be derived from it, and profit to every reader from the thoughts and conclusions which pervade it."-Literary Gazette, March, 1844. |
