    PREFACE, So defective is the Practice of Midwifery at present, (Surprising as it may appear) that the dangers naturally belonging to Parturi¬ tion, or Child-bearing, instead of being less¬ ened, as should be expected, -are thereby considerably increased; so as often to termi¬ nate in the death of both mother and child ; * but most frequently the former, as is fully proved in this Work, for the purpose of instructing the Profession ; so that they may not only be enabled to lessen those dangers, \ but (if possible) to do them away alto¬ gether.
