Explanation:

Answer 2

These 3 articles on William Harvey (which are published in 3 consecutive issues of the journal) are an edited version of 3 President’s Letters that I wrote about 10 years ago for Heart News and Views, the news bulletin of the International Society for Heart Research (the source articles can be found in volume 17, numbers 1, 2, and 3, 2009–2010 of the newsletter). Three books have been used to provide specific information and quotes: Doctors:The Biography of Medicine, by Sherwin B. Nuland, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1988; The Personality of William Harvey, by Geoffrey Keynes, Cambridge University Press, 1949; and Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus by William Harvey, translated by Chauncey D. Leake, Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, IL, 1970.

Herewith is the second part of my account of William Harvey’s life and work.
