Excerpt from Text Book of Modern Midwifery
Many years have elapsed since the first appearance of the Obstetric Treatises, by Profs. Meigs, Hodge, and Bedford; and the more recent editions of their works have not kept pace with the progress of this branch of medicine. To supply the deficiency, the American Medical Schools have been furnished with Obstetric Text Books from Great Britain and Continental Europe; chiefly by reprints of the works of Playfair and Leishman, and translations of those of Cazeaux and Schrocder. Believing that there is a demand for a work which shall more thoroughly represent American Obstetric Practice, the author has ventured to present the following condensed treatise to the medical students and practitioners of his own country.
Many years" experience as a practitioner, and several as teacher of midwifery, lead him to hope that he may at least assist in supplying the demand for a book properly representing the peculiarities of American practice, and adapted to the wants of obstetric teachers and busy practitioners.
He is under many obligations to Messrs. H. C. Lea"s Son & Co., Lindsay & Blakiston, Tiemann, and others, for the use of illustrations, obtained chiefly from the works of Cazeaux, Meadows, Playfair, Leishman, Churchill, and Hodge.
