9. An Historical, Scientific, and Practical Essay on Milk, as an Article of Human Sustenance, with a Consideration of the Effects consequent upon the present unnatural Methods of producing it for the supply of large Cities. By ROBERT M. HARTLEY. New York: 1842. J. Leavitt. 12mo. pp. 358. THIS little volume abounds in knowledge of a practical character, highly interesting to all classes of society. The author has devoted himself for several years to a minute inquiry into the chemical and nutritive qualities of milk, as modified by the domestic treatment of animals, their habits of exercise, peculiarities of living, and the different kinds of food upon which they are sustained. The astonishing facts which he communicates deserve to be well studied by every farmer, dairyman, and distiller; his views of milk as an article of diet, and the causes by which this most nutritive substance may become the cause of sickness and death, are worthy of the serious consideration of all who have charge of the nursing of infants, while the philanthropist will wonder that such abuses should have been so long tolerated in civilized communities, and now first made known by this able and satisfactory exposition of Mr. Hartley. 10. Popular Lectures on Ethics; or, Moral Obligation. For the use of Schools. By MARGARET MERCER. Petersburg: 1841. E. and C. Ruffin. THIS volume presents itself to the public in a character that involves no ordinary responsibility,-a course of lectures upon practical morality, originally delivered to a class of young ladies, and especially intended as a school-book and guide to youth. The good name of the excellent and highly talented lady, by whom it was written, is of itself a strong pledge that the obligation imposed by the undertaking would not be unheeded, and her book is a perfect fulfilment of it. There can be no doubt of the safety of those rules for the guidance of life, which refer to the word of God as the standard of duty, and that is the standard adopted by Miss Mercer; she may not always be right in all the details of her directions of conduct, but, in the great principles which should regulate it, we do not hesitate to pronounce her so. No better or more serviceable book can be put into the hands of young persons, especially females; if they would diligently study and heed its counsels, they would serve as a powerful antidote to the poison which is constantly administered to them in the guise of fiction and romance.
