Excerpt from Biographical Memoirs of the Most Celebrated Physicians, Surgeons Etc; Etc: Who Have Contributed to the Advancement of Medical Science "Rite maturos aperire partus." - Horit Whatever relates to the condition, safety, or happiness of that sex so beautifully described by the immortal poet as, last and best Of all God´s works, creature in whom excell´d Whatever can to sight or thought be form´d Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!" and upon whom our greatest happiness may justly be said to depend, must merit the deepest attention and regard. The study of midwifery claims for its assistance the sciences of anatomy, physiology, surgery, and medicine, inasmuch as they relate to the formation and growth of the foetus, the changes which the several organs undergo during the process of gestation, and the various diseases incidental to the gravid state and to the earliest days of the infant. It is a branch of the most intense interest - involving, as it does, the safety of the fairest and most amiable part of creation. It was a study deemed by the ancients not unworthy of their regard. Hippocrates wrote several treatises on this subject: - De Morbis Mulierum; De Superfætatione; De Virginibus; &c. Aristotle, Galen, Ætius, Albucasis Avicenna, and others, have followed this illustrious example. The first physiological work, however, of real value, relating to the origin and growth of the human foetus, is to be found in the writings of the celebrated Dr. Harvey. That men of high and exalted attainments - such as possessed by those already named, and others of minor character, that might easily be enumerated - should have bent their thoughts to the subject of midwifery, cannot be a matter of surprise - seeing, as we do, that, in all ages, nature, however powerful in general, has not always been able to support and maintain her own laws: and that, but for the interposition and assistance of the medical practitioner, many individuals must have been lost to society.
