II. A Compendium of the Theory and Practice of Mid- 

 wifery : containing Practical Instructions for the Ma- 

 nagement of Women during pregnancy, in labour, and 

 in child -bed ; calculated to correct the errors and to 

 improve the practice of midwives, as well as to serve 

 as an introduction to the study of this art for students 

 and young practitioners. By SamuelBard, M. D. 

 New-York: Collins & Perkins. 1807. 



THIS small volume, consisting of about 240 

 pages, is the production of an eminent physician, who 

 has, we think, added to his former reputation by the 

 publication of the present work. It is, indeed, a work 

 of considerable merit, and, we flatter ourselves, will be 

 of essential service in the United- States. It is illus- 

 trated by a number of figures, well engraven in wood, 

 by Mr. Anderson, of New- York.
