William Harvey, my client, was born in Folkestone, United Kingdom on April 1st, 1578. Harvey studied the vascular system for many years before making his discovery. He found that blood circulates through the body and that the heart is responsible for pumping the blood. I believe that there is no reason for Harvey to be held in prison because he did nothing wrong, I am asking you to set him free because this discovery could lead to many, many things in the future and could help us with our health

In 1628, however, the English physician William Harvey showed that blood circulates throughout the body and returns back to the heart. Though Galen was proved wrong. He was the only doctor in ancient times to come up with a theory so close to the correct one. And his theories were very advanced
What is there to do after you have finished reading William Harvey 's, On the Motion of the Heart and Blood? You begin your own dissection of the heart in order to find truth or faults in William Harvey 's investigation. I did just that.

correlation between Harvey and the environment in which he spent most of his life, more importantly the early years of his life, the developing years. Harvey is described as “lethargic” and “pallid”.
