“Irene, or the road to Freedom.” 612 pages, $1; published by H. N. Fowler, 1123 Arch street, Philadelphia; called the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin of Woman Slavery.” Ostensibly a novel, it is a doctrinaire book, presenting a series of almost impossible incidents to enable the characters to present their ideas of woman’s rights and wrongs and conjugal relations. The full development of the writer’s doctrines (who is a woman) is postponed to another volume. The ideas in this would please only the most extreme radicals. The Journal is over-loaded with its special themes, and has not room for discussions of such subjects.
COLLEGE OF THERAPEUTICS.
The eighth session is now in progress with an intelligent class. The ninth session will begin next November. I do not approve of medical legislation, but if it could be considered just to prohibit medical practice without a college education, it would be much more just to prohibit magnetic and electric practice without such practical instruction as is given in the College of Therapeutics and at present nowhere else.
