Summary "The Works of William Harvey M.D." by William Harvey is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a comprehensive look at the contributions of William Harvey, particularly focusing on his groundbreaking discovery of the circulation of blood. This work aims to present his writings in an accessible English translation, making them available to both medical professionals and the general public interested in the foundations of modern physiology. The opening of this publication begins with a detailed preface by Robert Willis, the editor, who explores the challenges he faced while translating Harvey’s works from Latin to English. Willis reflects on the misconceptions about Harvey’s original writings and emphasizes the need for accurate translations to convey the depth and significance of his research. He outlines his commitment to ensuring that readers receive a new and precise representation of Harvey’s ideas, particularly regarding the motion of the heart and blood. The opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Harvey’s theories, his methodology in anatomical studies, and the broader implications of his contributions to the field of medicine.
