OSLER

Two pages, 12mo. Very good on lightly aged paper. Begins with three bibliographical points, including one about Wagner's edition of Bentley's 'Phalaris' ('that of course we have at the Bodleian. A very useful edition, with long bibliography'). 'Thanks about my brother William, and Osler. The former I did not see much of, of late years. Osler, [Sir William Osler, who died 29 December 1919 and was a Curator as you say, is a real loss to the Bodleian.'

For Osler (1849-1919) see the Dictionary of National Biography. 4to. Pages: xv + 243. 107 figures in text. Good, tight copy, with minor spotting. In worn and stained green cloth binding, with lettering entirely faded from spine. Attractive bookplate of Irving S. Cutter, medical author, and a signed inscription from him presenting the book to F. Wood Jones. From the library of the librarian of the Medical Society of London, Nehemiah Asherson.
