AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful two-volume set enriched with 7 folding plates of figures (Volume I), 2 folding tables and 10 folding plates of figures at the end of the volume (Volume II) -
This set systematically presents the entire theoretical and practical knowledge relating to obstetrics as it was established at the beginning of the 19th century -
Considered one of the major works of French obstetric medicine, this treatise aims to provide physicians, surgeons and midwives with a rigorous method to understand pregnancy, monitor fetal development and conduct deliveries in the best possible conditions -
The first volume is mainly devoted to the anatomical and physiological foundations of human reproduction. Baudelocque describes in detail the structure of the female pelvis, the anatomy of the genital organs, the formation and development of the fetus, the membranes, the placenta and the umbilical cord -
He analyzes the changes the female body undergoes during pregnancy, the signs allowing recognition of its existence, and the different phases of gestation. Particular attention is given to the study of the pelvis, whose dimensions and shapes play an essential role in the progression of delivery -
Jean-Louis Baudelocque - The Art of Childbirth - 1822 - Volume I and II - Méquignon l’aîné - LV, 496; (4), VIII, 604 Pages.

Good internal condition, foxing scattered, volumes enriched with 7 folding plates of figures (Volume I), 2 folding tables and 10 folding plates of figures at the end of the volume (Volume II), sixth edition, revised, corrected and augmented; preceded by the Eulogy of the Author, by M. Leroux, marbled endpapers in good condition, a pleasant set -
