Except if it be in the shadow of his worshipful student William Osler (1849-1919), the life of Reverend William Arthur Johnson (1816-1880), a 19th century English-Canadian clerical naturalist, teacher, and early mentor to 'the Father of Modern Medicine', has escaped special scrutiny over the years. Written in commemoration of his 200th birthday, this recollection will aim to more purposefully categorise what is currently known of Johnson's life and work, not only in his important relations to the revered Osler, but also in the context of his own personal achievements, life story, and legacy.
