Excerpt from A Handbook of Obstetric Operations

History. - This operation was first suggested and carried into practice in England. It is also to the labours of our own countrymen that we are principally indebted for its establishment in the face of much opposition both at home and abroad. It is not known with certainty to whom we owe the original suggestion, but we are told by Denman that in the year 1756 there was a consultation of the most eminent physicians at that time in London, to consider the advantages which might be expected from this operation. The proposal met with formal approval, and it was shortly afterwards carried into practice by Dr. Macaulay, the patient being the wife of a linendraper in the Strand. From that time it has flourished in Great Britain, the sphere of its application has been largely increased, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that it has been the means of saving many mothers and children, who would otherwise in all probability have perished.
