NOTICE. 



The great demand for Velpeau's Midwifery, the whole of 

 the first edition of which has been for some time exhausted, 

 has induced its proprietor to publish a second edition. The 

 translator has taken the liberty, which he hopes will not be 

 displeasing to the celebrated author of the work, of addmg a 

 few notes at the foot of the page, which are marked with the 

 initial letter M. It was with the utmost deference for the 

 author of the volume, that, in some of these notes, he has 

 ventured to express his dissent from a few of the opinions of 

 one who, at the present time, stands scarcely second to any 

 physician in Europe.
