a conscientious physician which must necessarily connect itself with pub * lie appreciation beyond conscious desert . "—p . 7 . The pamphlet then details a considerable number of cases , some of which are very striking , while a few seem to us to be not much to the purpose , and scarcely worth being introduced Altogether they certainly seem to shew that much practical use may De made of the new views by the skilful physician . For these cases we must refer to the publication itself . Towards die conclusion the author gives an additional caution : —
" My late friend Dr Reid , in his brunonian fervor and desire to express himself pointedly , used to call the Lancet i a minute instrument of mighty mischief ; ' but in the atoms of homoeopathy , if they are misapplied , may lurk still more minute instruments of still more mighty mischief . No individual ought , upon any system , to prescribe powerful medicines unless he be well acquainted with anatomy , physiology , and indeed every branch which in their whole combination are named medicine . And as to remuneration , let every medical man scout the notion of his being a tradesman . It is high time that medical skill and science should be otherwise appreciated . General practitioners , as they are called , are rewarded too little , but they are rewarded in an improper manner . It is here that reform is required . Everything else would find its own level without legislative interference . "—p . 33-34 .
We trust that the author ' s anticipation , " that few will hear and fewer heed the strain , " will not be realized . The subject is one , literally , of vital interest , and on which his claim for attention is fully established .
Memoirs of the Wesley Family ; collected principally from original Documents . 2 vols . London , 1836 . By Adam Clarke , LL . D . These two volumes form the commencement of a cheap as well as elegant edition of the miscellaneous works of Dr Adam Clarke . The Wesley family is chiefly interesting on account of the celebrated founder of Methodism , but we have no memoir of him here , with the exception of a very short notice . It appears that Dr Clarke always intended to write a separate character of him , but never accomplished tnat intention . It is stated , however , that many anecdotes and much important information
concerning John Wesley will be embodied in the memoirs of Dr Clarke , which are to accompany or immediately to follow the present edition . In the meantime , those who like to observe the varieties of character which result from one uniform system of training applied to many natures , will find material for thought in the circumstantial description already published . The father of John Wesley was a clergyman of the Established Church , originally educated among the Dissenters , against whom , after his desertion of them , he was a very bitter writer . It is supposed that he would have had good preferment if Queen Mary had lived , but during the subsequent reign of Queen Anne he lost ^ his interest at Court , and was frequently involved in difficulties ,
