Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First Edition. Very Good condition. Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (/ho?mz/; August 29, 1809 - October 7, 1894) was an American physician, poet, and polymath based in Boston. Grouped among the fireside poets, he was acclaimed by his peers as one of the best writers of the day. His most famous prose works are the "Break…fast-Table" series, which began with The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table (1858). He was also an important medical reformer. In addition to his work as an author and poet, Holmes also served as a physician, professor, lecturer, inventor, and, although he never practiced it, he received formal training in law.

Archivally inserted in the leaf opposite the title page is a 15 line letter signed, date 1890 from Oliver Wendell Holmes to Edward Bok in London, ".My teacups will be published i…n the course of a few weeks."

In his Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography "The Americanization of Edward Bok" Bok has written, "He was always interested in the manner in which in which personality was expressed in letters.for this reason.he adopted the method of collecting letters characteristic of their writers. One of these writers was Oliver Wendell Holmes" (Chapter 19). In return, Holmes has written, "Edward Bok has perservered like the widow in scripture.look at Mr. Bok's with such thoughts.and you will have cause to wonder at his pertinacity and applaud the conquests of his enthusiasm."
