HARVEY, WILLIAM, an English physician; born in Folkestone, Kent, April 1, 1578. He took his degree in arts at Caius College, Cambridge, in 1597 and after five years' study at Pa- dua, he obtained his diploma as doctor of medicine in 1602. After receiving his doctor's degree from his original university, Cambridge, he settled in Lon- don as a physician. In 1609 he was ap- pointed physician to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and in 1615 Lumleian Lecturer at the College of Physicians — an office then held for life; and it is generally supposed that in his first course of lectures (in the spring of 1616) he ex- pounded those original and complete views of the circulation of the blood with which his name is indelibly associated. It was not till the year 1628 that he gave his views to the world at large, in his celebrated treatise entitled, "Anatomical Study of the Movement of the Heart and the Blood." He was appointed successive- ly physician to James I. and Charles I. Harvey's first step was to prove that the arteries contained not air but blood. He attended the king in his various expedi- tions, and was present with him at the battle of Edgehill (Oct. 23, 1642). On the surrender of Oxford to the Parlia- ment July, 1646, he left the university and returned to London. In 1654 he was elected president of the College of Physicians, but he declined the office on account of his age and infirmities. In July, 1656, he resigrned his Lumleian lec- tureship (held for more than 40 years); and in taking leave of the college pre- sented to it his little patrimonial estate at Burmarsh, in Kent. He died at Hampstead, June 3, 1657.
