    Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 48 pp. Original printed wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. Describes 114 classic works in science and medicine. 'Sponsored by a committee of the History of Science Club of the University of California and arranged for the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the occasion of its ninety-fourth meeting, Berkeley, California, June 18-23, 1934. On Display at the University Library.' 'One of the last of the great physician collectors was Sir William Osler, who was enormously influential in popularising book collecting. Though interested primarily in medical texts, he also collected books on the physical sciences and was responsible for identifying a canon of the key works in all the sciences that a collector should aspire to own. This took the form of a 'bibliotheca prima', a list of primary works, which is the first section of the catalogue of his library, published under the title of Bibliotheca Osleriana in 1929, ten years after his death in 1919. A more refined list of canonical works was published in 1934, the catalogue of the Exhibition of First Editions of Epochal Achievements in the History of Science, mounted by another physician-collector, Herbert McLean Evans at the University of California at Berkeley. Unlike Osler's 'bibliotheca prima', which cites a range of titles by each author, the 1934 Evans list selects just one, the number of authors being just over a hundred in both cases. The Evans List strongly influenced Bern Dibner in selecting his Heralds of Science in 1955, and indeed Dibner bought quite a number of books formerly owned by Evans, of which 12 are 'Heralds' ' (Roger Gaskell, 'From Collector to Reader: Bern Dibner and History of Science Collections', in Owen Gingerich, The Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology at 25 Years: Celebrating a Collector's Vision and Its Legacy, 2001).
