    PART FIRST. DISEASES OF THE UTERUS. SECTION FIRST. BREACHES OF CONTINUITY. This section may be naturally divided into two chapters —the one containing ruptures, or breaches of continuity, from internal causes, such as violent and unnatural con- traction of the uterus; the other, wounds, or breaches of continuity, from external violence. But, as ruptures never occur without previous distension of the uterus,—as during pregnancy, and in the act itself of parturition,—these accidents are commonly classed with those which belong to midwifery ; and, in order to give a complete account of them, we should be obliged to copy, nearly word for word, the memoir which was composed by one of us, and which forms part of Madame La Chapelle's ' Pratique des Accouchements' (8e MSmoire, t. iii). We would rather refer our readers to that work for many opinions which would be out of place here ; and to the thesis of M. Deneux1, and the less recent dissertation of Crantz2. It remains for us to treat of injuries from external causes. 1 Ensai mr la rupture de la matrice pendant la grossesse et Vaccouchement, an XII, 1804.
