Notes

Notes From Elsewhere

The Harley Street surgeon Edward William Murphy, Professor of Midwifery at UCL, was one of the first to deliver the course of Lettsomian lectures at the Medical Society. During March 1853, he delivered three lectures on the first, second and third stages of labour, including the associated problems; his third lecture was on the necessity of obtaining a scientific education in the practice of midwifery. Many of his lectures and publications were on the subjects of midwifery and chloroform; he was one of the first surgeons in London to use chloroform in midwifery practice.
