THE GROWTH OF TRUTH
The 1906 Harveian Oration by William Osler

This will interest anyone interested in science or history in general.

The Growth of Truth discusses the evolution of knowledge in medicine, using Harvey’s pivotal discovery of the circulation of the blood as the prime example of how seemingly sudden advances in medicine and science don’t just happen, but come about only when the ground has been plowed and is ready for seed.  

This masterful lecture was presented by Dr. William Osler, the father of modern clinical medicine, on October 18th 1906 as the Harveian Oration, a yearly lecture held at the Royal College of Physicians in London, first instituted by William Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, 1656. Initially mandated to be given in Latin, since 1865 it has been presented in English. 

The Growth of Truth is presented in full, unabridged form.
