    '. -PREFACE. So defective is the Practice of Midwifery at present, (Surprising as it may appear) that the dangers naturally belonging to Parturi- tion, or Child-bearing, instead of being less- ened, as should be expected, are thereby considerably increased; so as often to termi- , nate in the death of both mother a*id child ; but most frequently the former, as is fully proved in this Work, for the purpose of instructing the Profession j so that they may not only be enabled to lessen those dangers, but (if possible) to do them away alto- gether.
