STEVENSON, L. G. et al. (editors). W.W. Francis: Tributes from His Friends on the Occasion of the Thirty-Fifth Anniversary of the Osler Society of McGill University.
Montreal: Published by the Society, 1956. First edition. 1 of 500 copies. From the library of Dr. C.B. Farrar with his bookplate. Tall 8vo., orig. red cloth decorated in gilt, 123pp. A note from Dr. Farrar on front free endpaper and newspaper clippings about Dr. Francis tipped in otherwise near fine.
Dr. William W. Francis (1878-1959) was Osler's cousin, the principal editor of Bibliotheca Osleriana, and the founding librarian of the Osler Library at McGill University, a position he held for three decades. Dr Farrar's (characteristically cheeky) note on the front free endpaper reads, “Rx Billiana [i.e., the volume's recollections about William “Bill” Francis], To be taken in small doses with large grains of salt.”
