Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Midwifery, Vol. 1 of 2 Many of the illustrations are copied from previous authors, while some are original. The following quotation from the preface to Tyler Smith's 'manual of Obstetrics will explain why the source of the copied woodcuts has not been in each instance acknowledged: 'when I began to publish, I determined to give the authority for every wood cut copied from other works. I soon found, however, that obstetric authors of all countries, from the time of Mauriceau downwards, had copied each other so freely without acknow ledgment as to render it difficult or impossible to trace the originals.' The Author has to express his acknowledgments to many friends for their kind assistance by the loan of illustra tions and otherwise, and more especially to his colleague.

III our lan guage, scarcely a modern work exists which can be compared with those of Cazeaux and Scanzoni. This is the Author's apology for an attempt in which, while he does not presume to emulate those authors, he ventures to hope that the fruit of some earnest labor, but too scant leisure, may not be held unworthy of consideration.
