Practical Midwifery

Practical Midwifery

It is the author's intention, in the succeeding pages, to present to the Student of Midwifery, in a condensed form, those rules which are particularly applicable to the practical department of the science.

The frequent inquiries amongst his own pupils for a book of this kind will, he trusts, be a sufficient apology for the present undertaking; which is intended as a remembrancer in the lying-in room, and consequently will by no means supersede the necessity of consulting the more voluminous treatises on this interesting and important department of medical science.

To the gentlemen attending the author's lectures it cannot fail to be acceptable, as it will form a Syllabus of that part of the Course in which the varieties of parturition are described; and, should the sphere of its usefulness extend no further, he will be amply rewarded for the time he has devoted in thus condensing and revising, for their instruction, the practical rules of the art and science of Midwifery.
