"Smellie contributed more to the fundamentals of obstetrics than virtually any individual. In his Treatise he described more accurately than any previous writer the mechanism of parturition, stressing the importance of exact measurement of the pelvis. He was the first to lay down safe rules regarding the use of forceps, and personally introduced the steel lock, the curved, and the double forceps. He invented the 'Smellie manoeuvre' to deliver breech cases"--Garrison-Morton 6154 (1752 original edition).
