S. E, Vol. 1 The object of the Editors has been to present these to the Profession in a more readily available form, believing that such compilations have at least the merit of greatly facilitating the study of any special inquiry, - an object of no slight impor tance to most Medical Men engaged in active practice. In reprinting Dr. Simpson's Obstetric Memoirs and Essays, the Editors moreover believe that they will be the means of supplying many of his former pupils with papers they have vainly striven to possess themselves of, inasmuch as they were published originally in journals which are now out of print. Most of the Contributions thus scattered over many years and many volumes, while they do honor to the literature of the Profession, bear the impress of an almost unlimited practical knowledge and experience. The evidence of the latter appears to us especially to enhance their value, and it seems but justice to Dr. Simpson's acknowledged reputation as an Obstetrician, that some more tangible and permanent form should be given to his works. Several of the Memoirs included in these volumes have been deemed of sufficient value, by our Continental brethren, to be translated into their own languages, and many of them have likewise been reprinted in American journals. Besides those already published, the present volumes contain a num ber of entirely new contributions, and Dr. Simpson has himself revised two or three of the older papers, which hence appear in an almost re-written form.
