To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— A midwife, who never had any education, and who had formerly vaunted, that she always did her own work, and would never call in man to her assistance, was called to a case, in which the child presented wrong. After she had, with great difficulty, brought down the body, she could not deliver the head, from the woman's being of a small size, and the child large. During the time of her making these trials, the husband sent in great haste for me. In the mean time, when the midwife found that her ...endeavours were in vain, she rested, to recover from her fatigue, and told those who were present, that she would not wait for the assistance of the woman's pains. One of the servants seeing me at a distance, went in a hurry, and told her I was come. She not knowing that I was called, fell to work immediately, and pulled at the child with great force and violence. Finding, as she imagined, the child coming along, she called out, *' that now she had got the better of him !" The neck at that instant separating, the body was pulled from the head, and she fell down on the floor.
