A complete practice of midwifery : consisting of upwards of forty cases or observations in that valuable art, selected from many others, in the course of a very extensive practice. And interspersed with many necessary cautions and useful instructions, proper to be observed in the most dangerous and critical exigencies, as well when the delivery is difficult in its own nature, as when it becomes so by the rashness or ignorance of unexperienc'd pretenders. Recommended to all female practitioners in an art so important to the lives and well-being of the sex / By Sarah Stone, of Piccadilly.
