Oliver Wendell Holmes

There are actually two notable people by this name, which creates ambiguity worth flagging rather than guessing: **Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (1809–1894)** was an American physician, poet, and essayist, best known for his "Breakfast-Table" essay series and for coining the term "Boston Brahmin." **Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841–1935)** was an American jurist who served as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, renowned for his influential legal opinions and defense of free speech.
