Milestones in the history of science, Harvey's discovery of the circulatory nature of blood flow and function of the heart released medical science from prevailing classical theory and paved the way for an exact anatomical science. He maintains, nonetheless, the traditional view of Nature's ultimate purpose and warned against reducing life by materialism. This volume also includes translations of The Anatomy of Thomas Parr (1635) by Arnold Muirhead, and Harvey's Last Will and Testament.

The Circulation of the Blood and Other Writings (Everyman Library)

Tuttle

The English physician William Harvey (1578–1657) was the first to discover how blood actually circulates in living creatures. This book is a fascinating account of how Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood came into being. A classic of science, it has long been considered a model of accurate observation, careful experimentation and notation, and logical deduction. Through his intense studies in anatomy and the experience he gained through a long series of dissections of animals, Harvey amassed a much broader knowledge of the comparative anatomy of the heart and blood vessels than his contemporaries or any others before him. It was a breakthrough that stunned his colleagues, most of whom still clung to the theories of Aristotle, Galen, and others — theories Harvey proved both inadequate and inaccurate.The original text of Harvey's landmark study consisted of two works written and published in Latin. This Dover edition, reprinted from a rare copy of a limited edition of 1,450 copies, reproduces the English translation made during Harvey's lifetime. In the Editor's Postscript, Geoffrey Keynes praised this lively translation as one filled with "the vigour of the seventeenth century . . . with a sufficient sprinkling of expressive, if now unusual, terms to produce the feeling that Harvey himself is speaking."

William Harvey (1578-1657) was a rebel in medical science: Contrary to contemporary practice, he began his epoch-making investigation into the action of the heart and the blood's circulation by minutely observing their action in live animals and by a lengthy series of dissections, rather than by mere reliance on the anatomical lessons of ancient medicine and philosophy. "On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals", including explanations of heart valves and arterial pulse, stands as a triumph of true scientific inquiry, and is still regarded as one of the greatest discoveries in physiology.

(c1952)

The short and unpretentious work here presented for the first time in digital format is one of a handful of undoubted classics in the history of Western scientific thought. Its English title is perhaps best rendered as "Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals," where "Exercise" has the sense of a formal academic argument; it is universally known to scholars by the abbreviated form of its Latin title, De Motu Cordis. Because it is brief, exquisitely well argued, and relatively nontechnical, De Motu Cordis is very probably the one and only great classic of Western science written before 1800 that is still widely read today. The publication of De Motu Cordis in 1628 marked the overthrow of a tradition of scientific explanation that had endured for almost 1,500 years, and introduced within the biological sciences a convention based on close observation and direct experimentation. Harvey’s rigorous and convincing logic yielded not only a statement of an epoch-making scientific discovery (the circulation of the blood), but a fascinating study of how an investigator should conduct experimental inquiries, and how to construct a maximally persuasive argument. There is remarkably little that one can point to, even 375 years later, that is factually "wrong." Commentary by Robert G. Frank, Jr., searchable English translation and Latin live text.
