H. Harvey, M.D., F. R. S., Etc., Etc: Late Professor of Botany, Trinity College, Dublin; With Selections From His Journal and Correspondence The following Memoir was originally intended for Dr. Harvey's personal friends only; but the number of these was so large, he was himself so universally beloved, and his character - as exhibited in his letters - se peculiar, and in many ways so interesting to the ordinary student of biography, that it has been decided to publish it. A place among the great scientific theorists of his age cannot be claimed for Dr. Harvey. His fame as a Naturalist rests mainly upon his conscientious labours in that vast field of 'description and classification in which he was from first to last from the first dawn of his genius in his happy schoolboy days to its premature setting - so enthusiastic and indefatigable a worker Here his marvellous accuracy and minuteness of observation, and exquisite delineation of the objects which came under his untiring eye and hand, can only be appreciated by the earnest student of Nature who goes with him over the same ground in the same spirit.
