Excerpt from A Manual of Obstetrics The Chief purpose of this book is to present, in an easily intelligible form, such an outline of the rudiments and essen tials of Obstetric Science as may constitute a good ground work for the studentat the beginning of his Obstetric studies; and one by which it is hoped he will be the better prepared to understand and assimilate the extensive knowledge and classical descriptions contained in larger and more elaborate text-books. Confessedly, in great part, a compilation from these, it is upon the more recent treatises Of Leishman, Playfair, and Lusk that I have most largely depended, as authorities, in dealing with matters that are still unsettled, and it is with pleasure I acknowledge my indebtedness to these authors.
