IN the Second Part, I have not only explain’d the Natural Philosophy of the Maiden-State, and set forth the Passions, as well as the Diseases familiar to Virgins; but also defin’d the Power of Imagination, and added the Natural Reasons for the various Likenesses of Children.

IN the Third, I have expounded the Mystery of Conception, together with its Diagnostick Signs: I have directed the Regimen of the Pregnant Woman, and particularly set forth the various Symptoms of the Months of Gestation, together with the Acute Diseases incident to her in that Time. I have in the same place insisted at Large upon Miscarriage, and explain’d at length the Mystical Theory of Birth in general.

IN the Fourth Section, I have defin’d the Art of Midwifery, and the Contemplation of its Theoretical, as well as its Practical Knowledge: And, that Women practising this Art, may not mistake me in what is said or recommended to them, I have also addressed my self to Men professing the same Science; and, with all imaginable Impartiality, told them both their Faults and their Duties, however without any intended particular Reflection. To which I have subjoin’d a compleat Anatomical Description of the Parts of Generation proper to Women; together with the Natural History of the Matrix and its amazing Faculties.
