    NOTICES OF THE FIRST EDITION. This sensible and judicious pamphlet.—Monthly Review. It is plnin that a system of this sort will be hailed by quacks as a fertile source for the delusion of fools, and increase of their own plunder and pro6ts : and Mr. Lee deserves com- mendation for having- exposed, and it is hoped prevented, the progress of it in this country.—Times. Mr. Lee has completely exposed and refuted these two most absurd doctrines, the offspring of ignorance and impos- ture.—Literary Gazette, It ought to be the deathblow to the infamous quackery on these two ridiculous subjects.—Metropolitan Magazine. In this little work, Mr. Lee has very properly exposed the monstrous humbugs of these systems.—Metropolitan Con- servative Journal. NOTICES OF THE SECOND EDITION. It is a short, clear, and manly production, and should be read by every one desirous of forming a just conception of the value of these magnetic mystifications. — AthentBum, June 16tb. We cannot spare room for more quotation, but still so much remains well worth attention, that we once again recom- mend the work to the attentive consideration of the reader.—• Athenanm, June S!3rd. Mr. Lee's little book is distinguished by comprehensive brevity, sound and sensible views, considerable knowledge of the curious anomalies which nervous disease produces, and a cool judgment and convincing logic, which neither scholastic nor medical learning will give without natural penetration and common sense.—Spectator, A very clever and popular work, exceedingly a-propos. The best portion of Mr. Lee's very clever book is the Ap- pendix of Notes illustrating the influence of the Mind over the Body ; the whole, however, abounds in learning, research, and observation.''—Monthly Magazine. Mr. Lee's very sensible little work. Mr, Lee's little unpretending work is worthy of great praise. It does great credit to the author's judgment.— Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. A very convincing work. This little volume ably dissects the question.—Literary Gazette.
