Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Claims of Doctor William Harvey to the Discovery of the Circulation of the Blood: With a More Equitable Retrospect of That Event; To Which Is Added, an Introductory Lecture, Delivered on the Third of November, 1829, in Vindication of Hippocrates From Sundry Charges of Ignorance Preferred Against Him by the Late Professor Rush IT will, no doubt, at first sight appear extraordinary to the medical reader, and to the world at large, to hear of an attempt, at this late period, to divest the illustrious Harvey qf a part, at least, of the honourable award that has so long been conceded to him, of the discovery of the circulation of the blood. Two hundred and twenty years have nearly elapsed since he read his course of lectures to the College of Physicians of London, in which, says his biographer, he opened his discovery relating to the circulation of the blood, being then in his 37th year; and, after several years of controversy, and pretended claims from other sources, the honour of the discovery has been suffi ciently asserted and confirmed to Harvey, - and, continues he, quoting from Friend, it was entirely owing to him. It may consequently be affirmed, that, from every quarter, this assertion has been so long reiterated, and so fully credited, that at present no one doubts the full extent, or even the smallest portion of this claim! 'the award thus granted has descended, as an heir loom, from one medical generation to another; is accredited now, in its fullest extent; and to throw even a shade of suspicion upon it, to the medical world, will unquestionably seem a sacri legious attempt, deserving of obloquy and unqualified reproba tion! Attempts have, it is true, been made, at different times, to deny the circulation altogether, or to father it upon some other person; but, the inanner in which this has heretofore been con ducted, seems to have been but illy adapted to the end in view; since few, if any, pursued, fully and fairly, the fiction to its source; whilst the attempt merely added strength to the claim, which was seen to be so imperfectly opposed.
