Midwifery notes

Location:   Bodleian Library, MS. Locke c. 29, ff. 95-98.

Description:   Notes on midwifery, in Locke’s hand, on four loose sheets of paper, numbered 1-7 (f. 98v blank). The notes have been placed with Locke’s advice and notes relating to the pregnancies of Mrs Fletcher in the summer of 1695 (ff. 92-94) and winter of 1701 (ff. 99-101). The notes appear to be on the same paper as the former and therefore probably date sometime soon after July 1695.
