Excerpt from A Text Book of Midwifery, Vol. 1 AT the outset of my career as teacher and practitioner, nearly twenty years ago, I wrote a Compendium of Midwifery which the publishers intended should form one of a series of text books, and which met with a far more cordial reception than I had anticipated. During the next few years however of my clinical activity, I had neither time nor inclination for a more complete and revised treatise, and before long my removal to another sphere of work, which happened more than once, also proved an obstacle. When later on I found the necessary leisure, the need for a Compendium had passed away. It seemed to me how ever that a complete treatise of Obstetrical Science, showing what progress had been made both in theory and practice during the last twenty years, and how greatly the science had been advanced by fresh researches, would be a useful undertaking. Especially did I venture to hope that the wide gap which still separates the Midwifery as taught in our hospitals and medical schools, and that of ordinary practice might be partly bridged over. Such' was the origin of this text book. My last object obliged me to treat the subject from a clinical stand-point.
