    DEDICATION. GENTLEMEN, Impressed with a sense of the informa¬ tion we naturally owe to each other, I con¬ ceived it to be my bounden duty, to make known to you and to all whom it concerns, the Discoveries I have made in the course of my Practice in the Profession of Midwifery. Should this Treatise be so fortunate as to meet your Approbation, and consequently be sanctioned thereby, it must be entitled to a place in the first Medical Libraries. Nothing was so much wanting in this World; nor, of course, nothing so much wanting in your Library, as it tends to the saving of many Lives, and of course, must be looked on as the only true Guide to follow. Then, Gentlemen, allow me (with defer¬ ence and humble opinion) to say, that it here rests with you to pronounce publicly on the merits or demerits of the Work before you ; of course I have to expect you will, as well for the honour of the Profession, as for the good that it will thereby be attended with. I am. Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, GEORGE CHARTRES.
