    THE principles: OF ■ MI ]D W IF MM Y. * ^ - BOOK I. Of the Structure, Functions, and Diseases of the Pelvis and Uterine System, in the un- impregnated state, and during gestation. CHAP. I. Of the Bones of the Pelvis. SECTION FIRST. THE practical precepts, and rules in Midwifery, are easily understood, and readily acquired. They arise evidently from the structure and actions of the parts concerned in parturition 5 ’ and whoever is well acquainted with this struc- ture and these actions, may, from such knowledge, deduce all the valuable and important directions which constitute the Practice of Midwifery. One of the first, and not the least important, of those parts concerned in parturition, is the pelvis, which must be examined, not only on account of its connection with the uterus and vagina, but also on account of its own immediate relation to the delivery of the child, and the obstacles which, in many instances, it oj^poscs to its passage.
