Abstract
THE book before us is a learned exposition which aims at two very laudable objects—the reform of clothing and diet, and the banishment of disease. With regard to clothing little is said: the author's children are represented in a state of nudity; this, together with the prescription of constant air baths, and declamations against the amount of clothing worn by man at the present day, makes one think that in his heart of hearts the author regards the entire disuse of all clothing as the beau ideal.
