- Notes: first edition. "Pugh's treatise is of special interest because of the author's relation to the forceps and the fact that he was the earliest, with the exception of Levret, to develop the pelvic curve... [Pages 83-85] contain the first published detailed description of a forceps delivery"--Cutter & Viets, pages 63-66.
