Intermarriage, by ALEXANDER WALKER, is a treatise on the physical

circumstances that give rise to sexual desire, as well as on the regulations to which it should be subjected, the evils that arise from the intermarriage of certain constitutions, and the means by which observation may detect their existence and avoid their consequences in entering the "holy estate of matte

mony." How far, in our present artificial and in some respects unnatural state of society, such a subject can properly be given

to the world in a popular and unsophisticated treatise, is a nice question. However, Mr. WALKER has done it; and without,

like the phrenologists on these occasions, attempting to warn off the profane vulgar.
