Excerpt from A Treatise on Gynæcology, Medical and Surgical I will pause here lest this legitimate reclamation become a panegyric. I merely wished to show that our patriotism has every cause to be at ease on questions of bibliography, and that when we quote from a foreign author we often do no more than to take back our own capital with the accumulated interest thereon. I have largely consulted foreign publications, and have quoted as many English, American, and German, as French namesf It is possible that I may be criticised for so doing, but For whoever thinks, there is neither French nor English, said Voltaire.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Medical and Surgical Diseases of Women History renders it certain that the Egyptians studied upon medical subjects, but with our present knowledge of the records left from that age of the world, we have no data from which to estimate the extent or accuracy of their knowledge. Nor are we able, with our acquaintance with Hebrew literature, to determine that any considerable amount of knowledge pertaining to this especial class of diseases was at that time in existence. With the advent of Hippocrates, 400 B. There seems to have been a revival of all that pertains to medical sub jects, and he especially seems to have made a careful study of the subject from actual dissections of the human body, and so far as our present information extends, he was the first to treat of the diseases of women in a methodical man ner. Precisely how much advancement was made during the next thousand years, it is only possible to surmise by the incidental cropping out of information in the extant writings of that day, that a uterine sound and specula were used, two inventions, or reproductions of very modern date.14 introduction. From the ruins of Pompeii was exhumed a bivalve speculum, an instrument only generally known in later times, after its introduction by Recamier in 1801, although alluded to as early as 1640 by Ambrose Pare.

Few specialties have a longer or richer eponymous background than obstetrics and gynaecology. Eponyms add a human side to an increasingly technical profession and represent the historic tradition and language of the speciality. This collection aims to perpetuate the names and contributions of pioneers and offer introductory profiles to the founders in whose steps we follow. This third edition includes 26 new entries, as well as expanded detail, illustration and quotation for existing entries. Biographical data and historical and medical context are discussed for each of the 391 names, with reference to 34 countries, reflecting the field's far reaching origins. More than 1700 original references feature, alongside an extensive bibliography of more than 2500 linked references to assist readers searching for more detailed information. This is a volume for physicians, midwives, medical historians, medical ethicists and all those interested in the history and evolution of obstetrical and gynaecological treatment.

Excerpt from Medical Gynecology: A Treatise on the Diseases of Women From the Standpoint of the Physician The growth of gynecology in recent times has been phenomenal, especially in the direction of surgery. That in this respect its progress should have been remarkable is not surprising, in view of the great advances made in general surgical knowledge during that period. It appears in medical literature that surgery has been more assiduously cultivated than medicine. This may have induced some to push the surgical treatment of diseases of women to extremes, and in some degree to neglect medicine. On the other hand, physicians, who have been overconfident in their art, may have failed occasionally to do surgery full justice. This is evidently responsible for the frequent and often illogical discussions which have been going on in the past few years regarding so-called radical and conservative practice in gynecology. The science and art of medicine and surgery in their highest development should be above all party questions, and those who place a just estimate on both branches of the healing art, and employ them without predilection and prejudice, are the most successful and reliable. Unreasonable devotion to either medicine or surgery is wrong. A consciousness on the part of the author of this status of gynecology is responsible for the inception and genesis of this work. How far he may be right in thinking that there is room for a new work on the medical branch of gynecology, and to what extent the requirements have been met in this volume, the members of the medical profession alone can decide.
