William Harvey

By Archibald Malloch

Book Overview

William Harvey is a biography book written by Archibald Malloch that delves into the life and achievements of the famous English physician and anatomist, William Harvey. The book provides a comprehensive account of Harvey's life, from his early years in Folkestone to his education and eventual rise to prominence as a physician in London. Malloch explores Harvey's groundbreaking research on the circulatory system, detailing how he challenged the widely accepted theory of bloodletting and instead proposed that the heart acted as a pump to circulate blood throughout the body. The book also covers Harvey's personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as his political and religious beliefs. Through Malloch's meticulous research and engaging writing style, readers are given a vivid and insightful portrayal of one of the most important figures in the history of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
