Oliver Wendell Holmes, in 1842, began to write those brilliant, witty, and learned papers which eventually made up his "Medical Essays" (1883), the most important American work dealing with medical history in its day. In 1876, Billings published his centennial survey of American medical literature (noticed be- low), which was just and critical even to the point of nil admirari. In 1881, he was asked to deliver one of the general addresses at the International Medical Congress, choosing as his s...ubject "Our Medical Literature, " a genial, if critical, ex- amination of the world's medical literature at the time. This discourse, replete with wit and wisdom, made a deep impres- sion, is still remembered and read and ranks with the earlier essays of Holmes and Toner, Weir Mitchell's history of in- strumental precision in medicine and the later studies of Osier, Welch, Jacobi, Fletcher, and Kelly, as among the few contri- butions of permanent value made to the subject of medical history in this country.
