111 see it to be a work immensely wanted, and think it will
do much good. The subject, as related to family life, and the
condition of posterity, is a really awful one, and ought to b
just as much more awful to young men, as it more deeply
concerns their welfare. Give it as great a circulation as you

Baptist Church, Troy, N. Y.
“ The subjects of which it treats are of great importance; and
I am much pleased with the careful, candid, and able manner
in which Dr. Napheys discusses them. The public need just
such information, and in this work it is so imparted, that it
cannot but be healthful and salutary. In moral and religious
tone it is unexceptionable. I earnestly recommend its publi¬
cation and circulation.”
PROF. NOAH PORTER, D.D.,
Yale College.
Dr. Geo. H. Naphets—
Dear Sir : I thank you for a copy of your work on “ The
Transmission of Life.” There is in it much valuable informa¬
tion, carefully considered and industriously collected. The
topics—of greatest delicacy—are treated with all possible re¬
finement, while the much needed warnings concerning the
offences against nature, which are practised in ignorance by
many, and with shamelessness by others, are faithfully ad¬
ministered.”
DR. S. AUSTIN ALLIBONE,
Author of “ The Dictionary of Authors."
“The subjects discussed are of great importance; the liter¬
ary style is excellent—terse, vigorous, and perspicuous ; the
philanthropic zeal evinced is highly creditable to your heart;
and the moral and religious spirit of the work is such as to give
me a profound respect for the writer. The tendency of the
book is good, and good only. It makes vice abhorrent and
virtue cheaply purchased by all the wholesome restraints
which it imposes.”
