Abstract
In the Rare Books Room of the Mayo Clinic Library is a book, Sir Thomas Browne's Religio Medici, which may contain the earliest extant book inscription penned by Sir William Osler. Dr. John Graner reports that Osler gave the book to one of his closest friends when he attended McGill medical school in 1870. Not only does the book possess great historic value, says Graner, but also it symbolizes a unique friendship.
