FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 



"Influenced by these motives, the author has, in this volume, endeavored to present 

 not simply his own opinions, but also those of the most distinguished authorities in 

 the profession; so that it may be considered a digest of the theory and practice of 

 Obstetrics at the present period." 



In carrying out this design, the ample space afforded by the quarto form has enabled the author 

 to enter thoroughly into all details, and in combining the results of his long experience and study 

 with the teachings of other distinguished authors, he cannot fail to afford to the practitioner what- 

 ever counsel and assistance may be required in doubtful cases and emergencies. 



A distinguishing feature of the work is the profuseness of its illustrations. The lithographic 

 plates are all original, and, to insure their accuracy, they have been copied from photographs taken 

 expressly for the purpose. Besides these, a very full series of engravings on wood will be found 

 scattered through the text, so that all the details given by the author are amply elucidated by the 

 illustrations. It may be added that no pains or expense have been spared to render the mechanical 

 execution of the work in every respect worthy of the character and value of the teachings it contains. 



*$(.* Specimens of the plates and letterpress will be forwarded to any address free by mail on 

 receipt of six cents in postage stamps. 



The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a 

 simple pr^entation of his' particular views in the de- 

 partment OT Obstetrics ; it is something more than an 

 ordinary treatise on midwifery ; it is, in fact, a cyclo- 

 paedia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a 

 single volnme the whole science and art of Obstetrics. 

 An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- 

 ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle 

 is left unstated or unexplained. Am. Med. Times, 

 Sept. 8, 1S64. 



We should like to analyze the remainder of this 

 excellent work, but already has this review extended 

 beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this 

 notice without referring to the excellent finish of the 

 work. In typography it is not to be excelled; the 

 paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our 

 American cousins, quite equal to the best of English 

 books. The engravings and lithographs are most 

 beautifully executed. The work recommends itself 

 for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- 

 able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics. 

 Canada Med. Journal, .Oct. 1S64. 



It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, 

 and is fitted to take its place near the works of great 

 obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject 

 it is decidedly the best. Edinb. Med. Jour., Dec. '6-1. 



We have examined Professor Hodge's work with 

 great satisfaction ; every topic is elaborated most 

 fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, 

 and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- 

 cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every 

 emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. 

 Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. 



More time than we have had at our disposal since 

 we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary 

 to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most 

 original, complete, and carefully composed treatise 

 on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has 

 ever been issued from the American press. Pacifie 

 Med. and Stirg. Journal, July, 1864. 



We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great plea- 

 sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our 

 commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly 

 instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The 

 great attention which'the author has devoted to the 

 mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- 

 clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, 

 conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, the 

 doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received.
