A Treatise Of Midwifery (1781)

A Treatise of Midwifery is a historical medical book written by Alexander Hamilton in 1781. The book provides a comprehensive guide to midwifery, including the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system, the stages of pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and the management of complications that may arise during childbirth. Hamilton's writing is based on his extensive experience as a midwife, and he includes detailed descriptions of various techniques and instruments used in childbirth, such as forceps and the use of ergot to induce labor. The book also addresses the social and cultural aspects of midwifery, including the role of midwives in society and the importance of their education and training. A Treatise of Midwifery is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the medical practices and beliefs of the late 18th century, as well as the experiences of women during childbirth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
