To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I was sent for to Col. Spinks. I saw a child taken out of the privy. Observed no external marks of bruises: the umbilical cord was torn off close to the body. I examined it more particularly at the ILLUSTRATIONS. 41 some grounds for it ought to be alleged. However common it may be for respiration to commence as soon as the mouth is born, the other event stated in the objection occurs by no means so frequently. It is, we believe, rather unusual, at least it is allowed not to be a very common occ...urrence, for an infant to die during the act of birth. When death is said to have taken place under such circumstances, we have a right to inquire what might have been the cause. Dr. Hunter sug'gests one cause, and that of the simplest kind, namely, the lapse of a considerable interval between the protrusion of the head and that of the body. Now we should say that if this were given as the reason, or urged as a pro- bable ground, of the alleged occurrence, it ought to be shown that there was some remarkable deformity of the child's body, or that the navel-string was pressed upon so as to cause death by stopping the circulation (though this were very unlikely, as respiration had begun), or that strangulation had taken place, the umbilical cord being twisted round the infant's neck and tightening as the head advanced, in which case there should be present the characteristic signs of this kind of death, together with the appearances mentioned by Dr.
