Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Midwifery With Some of the Diseases of Women There are not wanting many admirable works on the principles and practice of Obstetrics; but there are various principles and rules which the Author has found of inestimable service in his own practice, which are either not mentioned in these, or are referred to only in terms of disapprobation. These principles and rules have reference, more particularly, to the management of the second and third stages of labor. There is assuredly a wide and growing belief, not only among the younger practitioners, but also among not a few veteran brethren who have been able to emancipate themselves from the shackles of doubtful, if not injurious, traditions, that too great delay in the second stage of labor especially has hitherto been inculcated in the text-books, and that, had earlier interference been more widely taught and practiced, maternal and foetal mortality would have been greatly diminished. Recent investigations strengthen this view, bringing out, as they do very strikingly, the fact that delay has proved much more injurious than interference, and, moreover, has given a false complexion to operative procedure not necessarily attended with danger. These views, therefore, the Author has endeavored to give expression to, in the hope that good may gradually accrue. The seed he believes to be good, and he trusts that it may fructify in the course of time, and yield the welcome blossom of maternal safety. That is the harvest all obstetricians are earnestly striving after. Prominent notice has been taken of the operations of cephalotripsy and spondylotomy - operations which the Author believes are destined to limit considerably the difficulties and maternal dangers of craniotomy; and reference has been made, though briefly, to the influence of zymotic disease on gestation and the puerperal state. Had space permitted, he should have liked exceedingly to have entered more fully into these important topics. As regards the subject of Diseases of Women, he has to remark that, while an account of the great mass of these would have been quite foreign to the purpose of the work, he has yet introduced more of them than is usual in such manuals. He has, however, only touched on those closely connected with pregnancy and the puerperal state. He has not inserted many cases in illustration of principles and practice, but the reason is the want of space, and not the want of such cases. He has numerous notes; and he writes within gunshot of many brethren who have seen him operating in the more difficult cases of labor. These examples, if opportunity offers, he may yet bring together, either as a supplementary or separate work.

Excerpt from Outlines of Midwifery, Developing Its Principles and Practice: Intended as a Text Book for Students, and a Book of Reference for Junior Practitioners On sending forth the fifth edition of these out lines, it is only necessary to remark, that the high encomium which has been conferred on them in the several Reviews by which they have been noticed, and their consequent favourable reception and extensive cir culation, warrant the conclusion, that the work is not deemed altogether destitute of useful tendency; and, if such an inference be correct, it must, in a considerable degree, be traced to the undeviating determination of the Author, that not one page should be written, but under the in uence of that sagacious reply which was made by an intelligent Spartan king, who, when asked, What is it in which youth ought to be instructed?

Excerpt from On the Theory and Practice of Midwifery These additions, together with the fact that the work has had the benefit of two revisions by the author since the publication of the last American edition, have caused a notable augmentation in the size of the volume, which at present contains fully one-half more matter than when last reprinted. This has rendered necessary the adoption of a smaller type, notwithstanding which the number of pages has been increased by nearly two hundred.

Excerpt from Practical Midwifery, Including the Diseases of Women and Infants: Being a Course of Lectures Delivered at St. Bartholomew's Hospital The editor of this volume attended the Lectures on Midwifery, delivered at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, by the late Dr. Gooch. In common with many other pupils he took notes of these lectures; and that with a minuteness which comprised the most trifling particulars. The abilities of the late Dr. Gooch are now so justly and so highly appreciated, that it would be superfluous to say anything in recommendation of instructions proceeding from such a teacher. The divisions of the work will, perhaps, be thought at first sight not unexceptionable. But it was found impracticable to adopt any other, which would distinguish the several subjects by appropriate titles, without departing greatly from the original plan of the lectures. This plan has been adhered to as strictly as possible: the author's terms and expressions have been retained whenever these were peculiar or characteristic, and on all occasions his meaning has been preserved with the most scrupulous fidelity.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Practice of Midwifery But the firft fchools, from which the wettern part of Europe derived knowledge, were eftablifhed in Italy in the eighth cen tury 5 and the rnoft famous of thofe, in which the art of medicine was taught, were at Padua whither all, who aimed at excel lence, reforted, with the view of purf'uing their findies, and of qualifying themfelves for practice. From the contiguity of the two countries, from the frequent wars carried on between France and Italy, or from other caufes, the Franc}: had many Opportuni ties of acquiring knowledge. Schools were efiablifhed among them, encouragement was given to learning, many able men arofe, and France, by its more convenient iituation to Britain and the northern nations, fuccecded Italy in literary reputation Parir'and Montpellier being the places, to which fiudents in med.
