Hollick published, controversially, for a general readership: the anatomy with plates, the course of pregnancy and its signs, the stages of labour, presentations and what a midwife should do about each, and the diseases of childbed. He was prosecuted for it, and thousands of women learned from it anyway.

Childbirth explained plainly to women, when that was a prosecutable act. Download the free EPUB.
