Rare Books
"A notice seemingly published under the joint auspices of the 'Consuls- Gouverneurs' and the diocese of Arles in the South of France, and promoting a free and public course in midwifery ... The Avis invites neighbouring communities from outside of the diocese to send along suitable candidates to the course already established in Arles, and which has proven successful. ... The course lasts for one month, though three years of classes must be attended before a completion certificate will be awarded. Instruction in 'les maladies des femmes enceintes, en couche, et accouchées' was given by M. Paris 'Professeur Royal'. M. Pautrier delivered lectures on 'l'anatomie et le manuel des accouchemens'. Students will be taught the different cases in which the sacrament of baptism is to be administered, and it is expected that all midwives be of good Christian virtue."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.
