    33^ PREFACE TO THE STEREOTYPE EDITION, All the matter of the previous edition has been re- tained, though considerably condensed, in this, except that which appertains to the influence of the various states of the mother's physiology and mentality on off- spring, or the bearing of children, which has been re- served for the author's work on this subject, entitled Maternity, or infantile carriage, delivery, and manage- ment—a work which every prospective mother should peruse. Large additions of facts have been made to every portion of the work, many new principles, amply illus- trated with numerous cases, introduced, many valu- able transpositions effected, and the entire work every way improved. 'Indeed, much more labor has been be- stowed upon the revised than upon the first edition, partly in order to obviate some of the defects of the for- mer, and partly to deserve a continuance of the favor with which that was received, but mainly in consequence Of the INTRINSIC MOMENT OF THE SUBJECT TREATED.
