Hailed as the father of British Midwifery, William Smellie 1697-1763, was the first to teach obstretrics on a scientific basis. Among
the teaching aids he developed in his London practice was a
'obstretrical mannikin' used to demonstrate the safe use of forceps. He
set it all down in three volumes 'Treatise on the Theory and Practice
of Midwifery' which became the standard work on the subject.
