- Notes: first edition. "Pott's first published work, this is his most famous treatise and a classic contribution to the study of hernia... he describes inguinal, femoral, umbilical, congenital, and strangulated hernias together with their proper treatment. Pott gave the first description of congenital hernia and also made a strong plea for abandoning dangerous and destructive methods of treating hernias such as castration, cautery, and escharotics"--Heirs of Hippocrates 928. Garrison-Morton 3576; Norman 1728.
