It was in 1862 when William John Little so aptly quoted Shakespeare's description of Richard III., "who was born feet forward from the Duchess of Gloucester who had much ado in her travail". For the first time in medical history, Little delivered before the London Obstetrical Society his classical paper on the influence of abnormal parturition, difficult labours, premature birth and asphyxia neonatorum on the mental and physical condition of the child, especially in relation to deformities. Before this, others seemed quite unaware that abnormal parturition besides ending in recovery or death not infrequently had another termination which was then fully described by Little for the first time.
