Abstract
Mauriceau had an extensive practice in midwifery in Paris, both private and in the Hotel Dieu, which was at that time the leading establishment for lying in women in Europe. In 1668, when only 31, he published his great work Traite' des Maladies des Femmes Grosses et Accouchies,' which according to Andre Levret 'drew from the cradle' the art of midwifery.2 '.. . she may walk about her chamber . . .
