An essay towards a complete new system of midwifry, theoretical and practical. Together with the descriptions, causes, and methods of removing, or relieving the disorders peculiar to pregnant and lying-in women, and new-born infants. Interspersed with several new improvements; whereby women may be delivered, in the most dangerous cases, with more ease, safety, and expedition, than by any other method heretofore practised: part of which has been laid before the Royal Society at London, and the Medical Society at Edinburgh; after having been perused by many of the most eminent of their profession, both in Great Britain and Ireland; by whom they were greatly approved of. All drawn up and illustrated with several curious observations, and eighteen copper-plates. In four parts. By John Burton, M.D
