The Library of Entertaining Knowledge . The Hack woods of Canada : being Letter from the wife of an Emigrant Officer , illustrative of the Domestic J&conomy of British America . One vol . London . Charles Knight . 1836 .
Emigrants on their way to an unknown country must feel how pleasant it is to meet with any one who has been there , or to see a letter from any one who is there . Exactly such advantages may be enjoyed by reading this book . It is written by a woman of cultivated and refined mind , who can enter into all
the realities that surround her , who evidently takes her share of the work to be done , and who can appreciate all that is enjoyable and beautiful in the circumstances that surround her . Her descriptions , and the official information in the appendix , make up a volume which must be very valuable to those in * tending to emigrate , and will be found highly interesting to the general reader .
The Parents' Dental Guide . By William Imrie , Surgeon * Dentist . 1 vol . 2 d edition . John Churchill . London . 1836 .
It is a very common error to neglect the first teeth , under a consciousness that they will soon be shed ; yet , on the condition of this temporary set , mainly depends that of the permanent one which follows . Mr . Inirie ' s remarks and instructions on this point will be found both useful and interesting . He shews , that besides the evil effects of allowing a child to become
toothless , and so remain , perhaps , for a year or two , the shape and size of the jaw are considerably affected by the deprivation , as the crowded and irregular state of the teeth which at length appear , will testify . He advises , therefore , that careful examination of the mouths of children should frequently be made ; that the utmost cleanliness should be provided for , and that if ,
afler all , decay should take place , stopping the teeth with tinfoil should be resorted to . This is all very different to the course usually pursued . A tooth brush is a rare apnendage to the toilet of a child of two or three years old ; ana as to the dentist , he is seldom resorted to , till pain and decay begin to make his aid necessary , and then extraction is mercilessly performed , and is thought only right and wise as it ' makes room for the second teeth . ' We think the process by which nature ha * provided for the shedding of the first teeth it oarcely explained with sufficient clearness by Mr , Imria |
