These lectures by William Osler were delivered in the latter part of his career; together they demonstrate his keen knowledge of the history of medicine, and his philosophy of medical practice.

Working at a time when medicine was rapidly advancing into a formally accredited discipline, the author describes his joy at witnessing student hospitals expand rapidly. Having worked as a doctor and later a professor of medicine, the writer bases his insightful talks on experience as both a practitioner and educator. Osler is enthusiastic and impassioned, explaining how far medicine advanced in the 19th century, describing its history, and setting out the philosophy that guided his professionalism.
