    practically useful, this being the object contem- plated. In the article with which the volume commences, viz., Natural Labours, I have given merely a few preliminary observations as to the treatment of the patient; to have entered more fully ito this important subject in this place, would have caused lengthened repetitions in some of the subsequent sections, where a detail of the treatment necessary is unavoidable, and is in my mind placed with better effect. In conclusion, I have to observe, should the tables or calculations deduced appear obscure or unsatisfactory to any engaged in the like pursuit, it will give me great pleasure, if in my power, to assist in removing the difficulty. Merrion Square, LVovember, 1835.
