MR. THACKERAY’S LECTURES on the

ENGLISH HUMOURISTS of the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.

“ To those who attended the lectures, the book will be a pleasant reminiscence, to others an exciting novelty. The style—clear, idiomatic, forcible, familiar, but never slovenly; the searching strokes of sarcasm or irony; the occasional flashes of generous scorn; the touches of pathos, pity, and tenderness; the morality tempered, but never weakened, by experience and sympathy; the felicitous phrases, the striking anecdotes, the passages of wise, practical reflection: all theso lose much less than we could have expected from the absence of the voice, manner, and look of the lecturer.”—Spectator.

“ What fine things the lectures contain ! What eloquent and subtle sayings, what wise and earnest writing! How delightful are their turns of humour; with what a touching effect, in the graver passages, the genuine feeling of the man comes out; and how vividly the thoughts are painted, as it were, in graphic and characteristic words! “—Examiner.

Mental affections are relieved, in many cases only, by early removal from home, before the ill- nesa becomes deeply rooted, and when the sufferers are placed under the care of those who have paid attention to mental disorders. Acomb House, situated at the extremity of the pleasant and healthy village of Acomb, about two miles from York, which is easily accessible at all times, presents great advantages for the relief and comfort of those affected in mind; its position affords the privacy of the country with the benefits of the town. Mr. Metcalfe, many years resident medical superintendent of the York Asylum (accommodating 160 patients) resides at Acomb House, where he receives a very limited number of ladies and gentlemen, who are waited on by kind and experienced attendants, acting under the personal direction of Mr. Metcalfe. Acomb House is furnished and conducted as a private residence; the inmates join the family at church and daily private devotions, at meals and other times ; take regular exercise, walking, riding, or driving; and have books, papers, music, billiards, and various games provided for their amusement and occupation; whilst every care is used to aid recovery and improvement. Many medical men reside in York, eminent for their success in the treatment of mental disease, whose additional opinion could be readily obtained, if desirable.—For particulars, apply to Mr. J. W. METCALFE, Acomb House, York.
