The principles and practice of obstetrics.

Philadelphia: Blanchard & Lea, 1864.

Hodge, nearly blind, dictated this superb textbook from memory to his son. It includes his concept of “parallel planes” at the various levels of the pelvic canal, and his placental forceps for the completion of abortion. The book is very well illustrated. Hodge invented the “Hodge pessary”. See No. 6043.1.
