Excerpt from Sketches of Eminent Medical Men Convey blood. By some it was propounded. That the fluids moved along the vessels in one direction during the day, and 'in the contrary direction during the hours of sleep, with many other equally chimerical and unfounded hypotheses. In the sixteenth cena tury, a little more light was thrown upon the subject.

But it was reserved for our illustrious countryman, in the century before last, to connect the whole into one harmonious system; to announce to the world the great discovery of the true doctrine of the circulation of the blood; to open up a new era in medical science; and to introduce as great a revolution in the sciences of anatomy and physiology, as Newton afterwards did in those of astronomy and optics, by his theories of gravitation and light.
