Excerpt from Lectures on Midwifery: And the Forms of Disease Peculiar to Women and Children Delivered to the Members of the Botanico-Medical College of the State of Ohio
So highly was this work prized on its first appearance, that the whole edition of 4,000 copies was sold in less than twelve months after it escaped from the press. Many who were so fortunate as to possess a few of the last copies for retail, sold them for five dollars each. The demand still increasing, I have carefully corrected its most important errors, and considerably enlarged it, particularly by the addition of a copious index and several valuable plates. As this edition is thus rendered much more valuable than the former, and the number of copies is no greater, those who want it will do well to embrace the first opportunity to obtain it.
Preface to the Third Edition
The demand for the following work having increased in proportion to the acquaintance of the community with its character, the second large edition has been exhausted much sooner than the author expected; and the commendations of its principles and instructions, and the reports of success in the practice in accordance with them, have been as flattering as his highest ambition could desire.
