Osler, William. Counsels and ideals; from the writings of William Osler. **$1.25. Houghton.
In culling selections from his less technical lectures and addresses, Dr. Osler aims to offer “individual influence” and “inspiration” to the student or general reader. “Wise counsels abound in this volume—counsels inspired by high ideals and wide experience. The real man whom they present is no more like the individual whose words were so travestied by the press on a recent occasion as to threaten the dictionary-makers with a new word, ‘oslerize,’ than the caricature of the political cartoonist is like its original.” (Outlook.)
“A book which may be read with pleasure and lasting profit, not only by every member of the medical profession, but also by the general public. Dr. Camac has made his selection with judgment.”

“What most impresses one on examining this selection from forty-seven of the author’s fugitive pieces is not only the professional and practical wisdom displayed, and the breadth of view revealed, but also the wide reading in writers not commonly held to be a necessary part of a doctor’s library.”
