With all its defects, it continued the only manual used in England by midwives before the appearance of Chamberlen's translation of Marigeau's work, con taining an account of the first material improve ment in the art, made about the year 1550 by Am brose Pare, who recommended, in all cross pre sentations, turning the child and bringing it away by the feet; a rule which was farther explained and extended by his pupil Guillemeau, and after wards by Mariceau, La Motte, Peu, Puzos, and other French writers, and has since been generally adopted not only in cross presentations, but in all cases of ooding, whatever the mode Of presenta tion, as well as in those in which the fum's comes down first, and by some surgeons also in cases wherein at present the lever and forceps are most commonly employed.

Excerpt from The History of Medicine, Surgery, and Anatomy, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Creation of the World, to the Commencement of the Nineteenth Century However arid and uninviting the prospect of a History of Medicine may appear at a distance, it will be found gradually to improve, and become full of interest, wonder, and animation, as we proceed. The desert disappears as we advance, and we find our attention irresistibly fascinated by the multitude and variety of the objects which present themselves. The History of Medicine is, in fact, the history of the human species, uncontaminated by those civil discords and fearful atrocities, those crimes and disorders which blot the page of other histories, and stamp man, created in the image of his maker, with the visage of a fiend and the heart of a brute. The History of Medicine, on the contrary, is the history of peace and good will, of endless harmony, and unceasing philanthropy. Instead of recording the desolations of war, and the growth of immorality - the deadly effects of human passions, and the bloody triumphs of senseless ambition - her province is to note the diminution of mortal suffering; and the only triumphs which she records are those obtained over sickness, death, and sorrow.

Excerpt from History of Medicine in New York, Three Centuries of Medical Progress, Vol. 2 In Spite of his intimate friendship with Franklin, Governor Col den, probably from his Official connections, continued to be in tensely loyal to Great Britain when the troubles with the Mother Country began. He insisted that the stamped paper made com pulsory by the famous stmp Act must be used, but soon found that the people of the colony were against him. Colden was now a very Old man, past eighty-seven, but he still had pluck, so he re tired to Fort George with a garrison of marines. It is said that he ordered the marines to fire on the populace when they were sedi tious, but the marines refused. In the disturbances which fol lowed, Colden's official carriage as lieutenant-governor was seized and burned, along with an effigy of himself, and it is said also of the devil. Finding life too uncomfortable under the circumstances in New York, Colden retired at the beginning of the Revolution to a large estate which he owned near Newburgh, called Coldenham. Here he occupied himself entirely with his favorite sciences, espe cially botany, electricity and mathematics. His home had been the meeting place for the learned men of the colonies, and his high est pleasure in life had been to entertain them, but the disturbance due to the Revolutionary War interfered with this, and the follow ing year, on September 28th, 1776, only a few months after the Declaration of Independence, the physician, scientist, governor, passed away.
