Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture to the Course on Obstetrics, and Diseases of Women and Children: Delivered in the University of Pennsylvania, November 2, 1840 On this occasion, time is far too Short to pass in review, all the duties of the obstetrician, and to present the facts and arguments by which the nature and importance of these duties may be illus trated. On former occasions analogous to the present, I have shown that the science of obstetrics, although it has immediate reference to the process of parturition, yet embraces necessarily in its scope all the peculiarities of the female system, anatomically and physiologically. It must take cognizance of the healthy or diseased state of the female, not only at the time of labor, but during the period of pregnancy. It is called upon to investigate the causes of sterility - the connection which exists between the health of the female, and that of her child; whether disease can be propagated from parents to children; the nature of hereditary diseases, and hence, the propriety or suitableness of marriage under such circumstances. The welfare of females and children, and through them, the welfare of society at large is committed to this department of practical medicine. Passing by some of these points for the present, let us view the obstetrician under the character of the guardian of the Rights of Infants. Here also we must restrict ourselves to a portion only of these rights, and the consequent duties which rest on the practitioner of midwifery.

Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to the Class of Midwifery, &C., In the Jefferson Medical College: Delivered Wednesday, October 9, 1854 IN opening, for the fourteenth time, the annual course of my Lectures on Midwifery, and the Diseases Of Women and Children, in this College, I heartily greet your presence here and with hopes that you may meet no disappointment in any just expectations of improvement or pleasure, I recur with pleasing remembrance to the former occasions in which we pursued together a course of studies tending to gratify all those who should perceive they made reasonable advances in the acquisition of useful knowledge. There is nothing a man can do, so it seems to me, at once more pleasing and useful than to give instruction to ardent inquirers after information that should redound to their own benefit as well as that of society in general nor do I imagine that anything can more agreeably employ one's passing hours, than giving attention to pursuits which, at the same time that they enlarge and define our views of things, place within our reach the faculty and the means of doing great good to our fellow-creatures.
