Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Recently Discovered Letters: William Harvey With Other Miscellanea The life of William Harvey by Willis has been replaced by the admirable biography we owe to D´arcy Power, and we still hope to have from this author some more ample history of the life and times of the great physiologist. New material has become available of late, nor have all the sources of information been explored. There are long gaps in the personal story which excite interest, and of Harvey´s remoter ancestry we know nothing. He came of highly competent people and the genealogy of genius is always a matter for more than idle curiosity. Despite the information gathered by Sir James Paget, by Aveling, D´arcy Power, George Paget and others, there are lesser personal data which have escaped the research of the student. In my former memoranda I referred to some of these and as nothing concerning. Harvey is to be neglected, I quote there the consultation related in Ho-Elliana and Selden´s amusing story, with his reference of an insane man´s case to Harvey. Both had been overlooked by the biographers and perhaps regarded as trivial. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
