for an abscess i n his breast, wrote to Dr . Thomas , a

G V IDEON HAR EY . ’ u W Abo t the latter end of King illiam s reign , there was a great debate who sho ul d s u cceed the deceased Physician of the Tower . The contending parties were so eq u ally m atched i n their interests

w a s x ffi u and pretensions , that it e tremely di c lt to d determine which shou l have the preference . The m u atter was at length bro ght to a compromise, and G d ff ideon Harvey was p romote to that o ice, for the

u same reason that Sex t s V . was advanced to the

o n tifica te : u i n p beca se he was, appearance, sickly a n d x d i n few infirm , and his death was e pecte a

u n o t months . He, however, s rvived only his rivals , 2 1 9 bu t a ll his contemporary Physicians ; and died after

d sin ecu r e a bo v e t e r he had enjoye his fif yy a s .

W I LLIAM HARVEY . A passage i n Servet us has been s upposed to have

t u given Harvey the first hin of the circ lation , and i s

u d Ch r istia n ism i to be fo nd in a book , entitle , ” s u u Re tit tio . The following memorable acco nt,

u however, has been given by Boyle, of the circ m stances which led to this grand discovery : e I rem mber, says Boyle, that when I asked o ur u u h famo s Harvey , i n the only disco rse I had wit

bu t hi m , which was a little w hile before he died , what were the things which ind u ced hi m to think

u " of a circ lation of the blood he answered me, that when he took notice that the valves i n the veins of so many parts of the body were so placed that they

d but gave free passage to the blood towar s the heart, opposed the passage of the venal blood the contrary w a y e , he was invited to think that so provid nt a ca u se as nat ure had not placed so many valves with o u t design ; and no design seemed more probable

u u than that , since the blood co ld not well , beca se of l the i nterposing va ves, be sent by the veins to the

s u u h li mbs , it ho ld be sent thro g the arteries and retu rn thro ugh the veins whose valves did not o p

u pose its co rse that way . The reason here ascribed to Harvey seems n o w so

u a n d o u dis very nat ral bvio s , that some have been posed to q uestion his clai m to the high rank co m mou ly assigned to him among th e i mprovers of 220

W u science . Dr . illiam H nter has said , that after the discovery of the valves in the veins , which Har

d F ’ vey learne , while in Italy , from his master , abri

u a b u d ci s Aq apen ente, the remaining step might easily have been made by any person of com mon abilities . t I t is remarkable , tha when great discoveries are ff d e ected , thei r si mplicity always seems to etract from their or iginality ; on these occasions we are reminded o f the egg of Col u mb u s " ’ ’ u h a d Harvey s pict re i n Dr . Mead s collection two lines written by the Doctor .
