“While at Johns Hopkins, Osler wrote THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN MEDICINE, which continues to be an object of interest and admiration more than a century after its first publication in February 1892. Acclaimed as both a scientific and a literary masterpiece, it quickly became the standard textbook of medicine throughout much of the English speaking world … The value of the book was ultimately in the impact it had on the education and practice of medicine of generations of students and physicians” (Grolier 100).
