First sentence: Following the appearance of Harvey Cushing's detailed two-volume Life of Sir William Osler, there were requests for a briefer account which would come more within the purse and compass of the lay reader and the medical student.
Description: "Many books could be written about the different periods of his life, or about his different facets-surgeon, author, artist. But for a volume in The Life of Science Library the primary aim was to convey to the general reader, within a brief compass, some idea of Dr. Cushing's scientific contributions and his importance to this and succeeding generations" (p. ix).
Notes: Life of science library series.
