It seems ostensible, that the honor of attending Her Royal Highness devolved on Sir Richard Croft by voluntary and personal choice; and however deeply and mournfully he may review the fall of so illustrious a personage beneath his own eye, it cannot but ever be a source of grateful remembrance, that he was the subject of such distinction. There would be the utmost inconsistency in assigning to patronage an election like this. Dr. Croft has long occupied an eminent rank as an accoucheur; and more unequivocal testimony to his qualification could not be rendered, than that the most clamorous for public investigation have paid to his talents the meed of praise. Of the celebrated Dr. Baillie, who occupies pre-eminently the public confidence, and whose contributions to medical knowledge will honour his name to the latest posterity, it would be insulting to offer a defence. Nor indeed are we aware of an implication that either his conduct or that of the other respectable physician, Dr. Sims, was deemed impeachable. Doctors Baillie and Croft seem to have been in attendance early on the first day, and, in the evening of that day, the latter judged it expedient to have, at immediate command, the counsel of Dr. Sims. This, as a precautionary step, is honorable to Dr. Croft, and will ever shield him against a successful imputation of temerity. It seems probable, however, that Dr. Sims was not introduced to the Princess till after the _accouchement_; and upon this circumstance, much severity of comment has been indulged. Advocating, as we have, the moral management of child-birth, we believe, without the slightest reservation, that the arrangements which were made, were best adapted to sustain confidence and courage in a protracted case of natural labor; and that the unnecessary interference of another practitioner would have been improper. It is not certain that Dr. Sims was held merely in reservation; but if he were, on Dr. Croft alone the competency to judge could rest; and whilst experience justifies his competency, a most striking pledge is given that he was not actuated by rashness. A painful reference was made to the preliminary arrangements; but in us their simplicity excites admiration. There is a certain, and, perhaps, indispensable attendance on the parturient royal female, unknown in subordinate society; but irrespective of this, it seems to have been efficient and not superfluous. Can it be supposed that a privilege was denied to this amiable Princess, which is claimed by every woman in the country; that of selecting her own attendants?―and that no supernumerary solicitous matron should be in waiting―and that no unnecessary fears should be created by needless medical introduction, exhibits a regard to moral influence which should ever be in requisition.
