Practical directions, shewing a method of preserving the perinaeum in birth, and delivering the placenta without violence.

London: D. Wilson & G. Nicol, 1767.

Harvie, Smellie’s successor, advocated external expression of the placenta instead of traction on the cord, anticipating Credé in this connection by almost a century (see No. 6183). Reprinted in H. Thoms: Classic contributions to obstetrics and gynecology, 1935, pp.131-38.
