    Such a short time has elapsed since the First Edition was published that I have not considered it necessary to make many important alterations in the text. The slight changes and additions which have been made are in the chapters on Pubiotomy, Cesarean Section, Placenta Praevia, and Rupture of the Uterus. I desire to take this opportunity to thank those who reviewed the work when it first appeared for their kind criticism. Some critics referred to errors in style; I am fully conscious of many such errors, and no one deplores them more than myself. As regards a certain discursiveness referred to by others, I feel this was almost unavoidable as I attempted to write each chapter as a separate article, while at the same time trying to preserve a continuity in the whole work. My best thanks are tendered to Dr. David Shannon for much help in correcting the proofs and index. J. M. K. 7,' Claremont Gardens, Glasgow. June, 1911.
