It is almost unnecessary to speak of the merits of the above work ; Scanzoni has a 

 world-wide reputation, and on the Continent of Europe he is considered as standing at 

 the head of Obstetrical Science, being Professor of Midwifery in the leading College 

 in Germany, and from his great ability and well known experience, it makes this book 

 the authority o& this subject. The American Editor, who fs himself noted among the 

 principal Obstetricians of the metropolis of New- York, thus speaks of this book : 



" Had I fully appreciated the amount of labor involved in the translation and editing of an American 

 edition of this work, I should not have ventured on so great a responsibility. Having, however, once 

 commenced, I found myself unconsciously sustained by the interest the volume excited in my mind, and 

 the further my task progressed, the stronger grew the conviction that I should be doing a good deed in 

 presenting to the profession of my country this treatise of the celebrated teacher of Wurzburg a work 

 which, on its subject, I think is unequalled in Geiman, French or English Languages. 



"In the eitology, pathology and therapeutics of female diseases, with all the improvements which have 

 been realized during the last twenty years, this volume is exceedingly rich; while in its arrangement it is 

 so methodical that it must constitute one of the text-books for students and one of the most reliable aids to 

 the busy practitioner. 



" The Paris translation, of which the present is an English version, was subjected to the revision of the 

 author. The valuable notes which the French translators have added are retained with the initials of the 

 writers, while those of myself are enclosed in brackets [ ], and have been incorporated in the text on 

 account of their practical character. 



In its publication no expense has been spared. In typography, paper and illustrations, 

 as now issued, it contains nearly 800 pages, Royal Octavo, handsomely bound in cloth, 

 with beveled boards, and retails at $5 per copy.
