Two doctors Harvey: William (1578-1657); Samuel Clark (1886-1953).

چکیده
Preparations for this contribution to the 1979 History of Surgery Lecture at the Yale University School of Medicine were begun in the autumn of 1978, the year which marked the four hundredth anniversary of William Harvey's birth. It was the present writer's original intention to honor the memory of that great medical scientist with a brief biographical note and critique. However, as the research and writing progressed, it became increasingly evident that some striking parallels existed between the life of the Kentish William Harvey and that of a more recent (and to us, more familiar) New England namesake-Samuel Clark Harvey-whose ancestors were also southern English yeomen. So the projected William Harvey lecture evolved into a dual biographical essay in which the writer has sought to delineate interesting similarities in the histories, life styles, characters, and intellects of two great physicians and natural philosophers.
