I regard with great interest all dcvcl- opements of science; but I have always been so disgusted with the pretentious a, quackery of itinerant lecturers on Animal Magnetism and kindred subjects, of the intentional and unintentional admix ture of rhodoraontade and positive false hood with the actual truths they had discovered or adopted, and of thair vul garity of speech and coarseness of man ner, that I had determined to give up ail idea of attending to the subject, uu, til it fell into the hands of gentlemen; and nrjn of truth. Auother reason for my disliking to patronize by my pres ence this class of lectures, is that 1 am what may be called, in one sense strict ly orthodox in my religious belief; . that is I believe that God can, literally, cre ate a world or a thousand worlds, if he choose in six days, and that a man can literally make a mountain move, if he have faith enough. Now, nearly every phrenologist and mcsmerizcr with whom I have been acquainted, has been to all intents and purposos, an atheist, or what amounts practically to the same thing a pantheist. While, therefore, I admit ted the incontrovertibility of mmy of the new tacts in science, which thoy dis covered and developed before, I was quite unwilling to assent to their illogi cal deductions, from those admitted facts and other facts that I did not ad mit, of the falsity of Divino Revela tion.

It pervades our courts, state and federal, from the high est to the lowest. It is true in all pro fessions. It is so now. It has been so at any time since I have known the pub lic men of this state, or the nation, and it will be while our present institutions continue. You must throw a man up on his own resources to bring him out. The struggle which is to result in emi nence is too arduous, and must bo con tinued too long, to be encountered and maintained voluntarily, or unless as a matter of life and death. He who has a fortune to fall back upon will soon slacken from his efforts, and finally re tire from competition. With me it is a question whether it is desirable v that a parent should leave his son any property at all. You will have a largo fortune, and I am sorry for it, as it will be the spoiling of a good lawyer. These are my deliberate sentiments, and I shall be rejoiced to find in your instance I shall be mistaken. Letters to a Young Man. Dr. B. Brown Williams.
