I submit to my professional friends and acquaintances, as well as to all those medical brethren who take an interest in the progressive advancement of the sciences they cultivate, a series of beautifully executed Drawings of anatomical preparations, intended to explain and illustrate the important subjects of Abortion, and The Diseases incidental to Menstruation; subjects in which all classes of the medical profession, whether specifically devoted or not to obstetrical practice, are equally interested.
