Excerpt from Obstetrics: A Practical Text-Book for Students and Practitioners The fact that many of the text-books now before the profession, although very valuable for reference, are too large for the undergraduate student, has long been appreciated by the author; hence in the following pages he has endeavored to cover the subject concisely and to eliminate unnecessary discussion. With this in view he has made no effort to present a complete bibliography of the subject, although references to important articles on most subjects are given. It will be noticed that the subjects of pelvimetry and the antepartum examination are included in Chapter V under the Management of Normal Pregnancy. The author maintains that for the proper management of a pregnancy the obstetrician should inform himself at the earliest opportunity as to both the exact size and shape of the pelvic canal, and should ascertain the presentation of the fetus.
