Unpublished manuscript with about 140 questions and answers for the midwife, covering topics such as anatomy, giving birth, and the midwife's duties at various stages of a pregnancy. Includes such questions as: What are the bones of the pelvis, what is dilation, how can the midwife foresee a diffficult birth? Manuals of this type were made for practical use and offer rare insight into the state of obstetrical knowledge among midwives helping give birth, rather than elite professionals.
