HIS WORKS. xxxix 



may also be said as a mau. Let us take a brief survey of his 

 writings, then, and wind up our account of his life with such 

 personal notices as we can gather from contemporaries, or as we 

 can infer from his own conduct and written word. 



ON THE HEART AND BLOOD. 



Harvey's great work, though by no means the largest in 

 bulk, is the one on the Motions of the Heart and Blood. It 

 has been said, happily, by a recent critical writer, that " men 

 were already practising what Bacon came to inculcate," viz. 

 induction upon data carefully collected and considered ; and 

 it would not be easy to adduce a more striking example of

 Unde Bibliothecario honorarium suum, suumque Oraton

Unde omnibus sociis annuum suum convivium, 

 Et suum denique (quot menses) conviviolum censoribus parari, 



Jussit.

In manus Praesidis syngrapham tradidit. 

 Interfuitque Orationi veterum Benefactorum novorumque Illicio, 



Et Philotesio Epulo ; 



Illius auspicium et pars maxima ; 



Hujus conviva simul et convivator. 



Sic postquam satis sibi, satis nobis, satis gloriae, 



Amicis solum non satis, nee satis patriae, vixerat, 



Ccelicolum atria subiit

Ne mireris igitur Lector, 



Si quern marmoreum illic stare vides, 



Hie totam implevit tabulain. 



Abi et merere alteram.
