APPENDIX I 



support in this and similar fancies I owe much to my wife's 

 interest, and to that of the genial members of the Dick Marshall 

 Dining Club. I am especially thankful to the Oxford University 

 Press for kind permission to reproduce several of the splendid 

 illustrations from Portraits of Dr. William Harvey (1913). 



Many efforts are being made this year to celebrate appro- 

 priately the tercentennial of the appearance of Harvey's great 

 book. The Royal Society of Physicians of London and the 

 Harvey Society of New York held special festivals. R. Lier 

 and Co. of Florence and the Nonesuch Press are issuing fac- 

 similes of the original work. While these challenge the atten- 

 tion of connoiseurs, this volume has been prepared chiefly in 

 the hope that it may interest medical and advanced zoological 

 students, by offering in a dignified but inexpensive way an 

 opportunity to become acquainted, intellectually, with one of 

 the greatest contributors to their subjects. To that end the 

 publisher and printers have done more than their share to make 

 my little part easy. 



It has been a delight to work with Mr. Thomas in the prepa- 

 ration of this volume, and I appreciate his continued courtesy 

 and enthusiasm.
