Excerpt from Lecture Notes in Obstetrics: For the Use of Students in the Long Island College Hospital This synopsis is intended to serve as a guide to the student of obstetrics, in following the lecture course, in the use of the text-book, and as well in the hospital practice and the mani kin drill. Its chief aim is to aid him in mastering, first, a classified knowledge of the outlines of the subject. This once accomplished his task will be no longer difficult. Upon a well ordered framework of general facts and principles details classify themselves, and a complete and systematic knowledge becomes a matter of comparatively easy growth. It is believed the practitioner, too, may find these outlines of service as a convenient hand-book for reference.
