Modern quarter calf with old marbled boards. Crainz rubber stamp on title. FIRST EDITION. This work, written early in Reisinger's academic career, focuses on the medical aspects of artificial premature labor and contains an important historical and critical review of the practice of obstetrics. With the very large, multi-fold table charting artificially induced premature births, very useful for the management of public health. In addition is an illustration of a simple instrument to fill the lungs of a seemingly dead newborn with air that promotes resuscitation. / Franz Reisinger, born in Koblenz, began studying medicine at the University of Landshut in 1808 and later moved to the universities of Wurzburg and Gottingen. In 1814 published his dissertation in the field of ophthalmology. From 1816 to 1817 he traveled in Austria, Germany, France and England advancing his medical education, studying with Georg Joseph Beer, Guillaume Dupuytren, Astley Paston Cooper and Sir William Lawrence (1783-1867). He eventually settled in Bonn. On March 7, 1822, he was appointed full professor. However, disputes with older members of the faculty led to his transfer to Erlangen as a professor of childbirth on March 13, 1824. A call of November 11, 1825, as chair of surgery to the University of Erlangen, he could not accept because of his damaged health. On August 28, 1826, his request for retirement was met and he retired to Augsburg. There Reisinger recovered and worked as a "senior surgeon" in the surgical department of the general hospital, whose director he became in 1831. Reisinger died of cholera in April 1855. PROVENANCE: Franco Crainz (1913-2004), Italian university professor, head Obstetrics-Gynecology Department, University Rome (1972-1988), member of the Italian Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He has also written several historical works on the history of medicine: An obstetric tragedy: the case of Her Royal Highness, The Princess Charlotte Augusta; some unpublished documents of 1817, London, 1977; [and] The life and works of Matthew Baillie: MD, FRS, L & E, FRCP, etc., (1761-1823).
