The above works, along with the present one, constitute a complete
practical and popular Library of Anatomy, Medicine and Physiology.
They have all been purposely designed for the instruction of
non-professional readers, but at the same time are so scientifically
correct, and so complete, that they would serve as text books for
Medical students. The favor they have already met with, and the
extensive circulation they have attained, is proof that they both meet
the wants of the public and enjoy its approbation.

DR. HOLLICK'S SEPARATE LECTURES TO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ON
PHYSIOLOGY.--The importance of adult persons, of both sexes,
understanding themselves, and their natural relations, must be obvious
to every thinking mind. The present ignorance on these matters is,
undoubtedly, the chief cause of the vices and sufferings which so
extensively prevail, and our only hope of a beneficial change must be
founded on a proper system of public instruction. This instruction
is difficult to impart we admit, and there are but few men qualified
for imparting it. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that Dr.
H. is one of these men. He knows how to preserve in his subject all
that intense interest which it intrinsically possesses, and yet to
divest it of everything in the slightest degree obnoxious to censure,
or even distrust. He has a happy faculty of making every thing easy
to be understood, and yet avoiding the slightest approach to undue
familiarity. All who attend, express themselves both surprised and
delighted, and unhesitatingly recommend his Lectures wherever they go.
Many of the most eminent Ladies in our city were among his auditors
last week, and were unreserved in their expressions of approbation,
both for the Lecture itself, and for the becoming modesty and true
refinement that characterised its delivery. The present series, which
commence to-day, has been anxiously expected, and will no doubt be
numerously attended by both sexes, but particularly by the Ladies, many
of whom were unable to gain admission last week.
