Notes

  1. In my own work on eighteenth century obstetrical devices, I have noted the easy addition of mechanical birthing phantoms to the training of man-midwives. While not generally replacing the woman in labor (as midwives often did accompany live births as well), they served as ready substitutions—suitable models for the live human who was, since Descartes, often discussed in terms of hydraulics.
