Summary

"A System of Midwifery" by Edward Rigby is a detailed educational text from the 1800s covering the art and science of childbirth. It's written for people in the medical field and goes over the complex biological events that happen during pregnancy, birth, and after delivery. The book carefully looks at the body parts and how they work during these times, focusing on the female reproductive system, including the pelvis and other important organs. It also discusses how things can go wrong in childbirth, especially in modern settings. Initial sections cover the first signs of pregnancy, setting up future chapters for a greater exploration of obstetrics.
