THE WORKS OF
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

AN INDEX

By Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

This is the physician and poet, not his son of the same name who was a
Supreme Court Justice and famous in his own right. Very early on Dr.
Holmes became my mentor and guide in the philosophy of medicine. Though
his world-wide fame was based on his prose and poetry, he was an
eminent leader in medicine. Many—too many years ago I would often
assign Holmes' "Medical Essays" to a medical student whose sharp edges
of science needed some rounding-off with a touch of humanity. I have no
longer the privilege of assigning anything to anybody, yet encourage
any of you, especially any who may be physicians, to read the thoughts
of a family doctor of the early 1800's.
