Excerpt from Cyclop�dia of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vol. 1 of 4: A Practical Treatise on Obstetrics; Anatomy of the Internal and External Genitals, Menstruation and Fecundation, Normal Pregnancy and Labor

Charpentier's work on Obstetrics is the most complete in any language, and is a faithful and unbiased mirror of the theories and of the practice of the most renowned obstetricians of the world. In the few years which have elapsed since its publication, there are certain topics wherein both practice and opinion have somewhat altered, and there are others which have become settled on a firmer basis than was then the case. It has been the aim of the editor to express these changes, and to add the requisite new matter, thus in every respect bringing the work up to date. He. Has also, here and there, criticized such methods as have seemed to him not completely in accord with the Opinion of the authorities on this side of the Atlantic. These additions and notes have necessitated slight. Condensation in the text, and the omission of a number of statistical tables, but nothing of the kind has been done at the expense of the author's thought, or of the value of the work as one of reference. New illustra tions have been substituted, and added, wherever it seemed appropriate. The section on Embryology, in Charpentier's treatise, has been omitted, and in its place has been substituted the admirable chapter which Pro fessor Milnes Marshall contributed to Barnes's System of Obstetric Medi cine and Surgery.
