H preliminary questions a long debate took place, 8 March 1872. It was argued that Harvey was ineligible for the living, as sufficient time had not elapsed for him to become a member of convocation before his institution. No charge was alleged against Harvey's personal fitness for the office. But Mr. Gladstone was accused of evading the obvious meaning of the act. In reply, Mr. Gladstone vindicated the appointment on the grounds of Harvey's personal merits, and that the letter of the statute had been complied with. The subject was closed by a statement from Mr. Gladstone on 14th March, that Harvey had been appointed to Ewelme only after ‘two distinguished Oxford gentlemen’ had declined offers of the living. The remainder of Harvey's life was passed at Ewelme, and he died there in 1883.

Harvey was a voluminous writer, but the larger number of his productions consists of single sermons, pamphlets, reviews, and articles in theological dictionaries. His principal works are: 1. ‘Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ Vindex Catholicus,’ 1842. 2. ‘History and Theology of the Three Creeds,’ 1854. 3. ‘S. Irenæi quæ supersunt Opera,’ 1857.  HARWARD, SIMON (fl. 1572–1614), divine and author, matriculated as pensioner of Christ's College, Cambridge, December 1572, and graduated B.A. in 1574–5, was incorporated B.A. of Oxford 9 July 1577, and proceeded M.A. 5 May 1578 (Oxf. Univ. Reg. vol. ii. pt. i. p. 304; Oxf. Hist. Soc.). In 1577 he was chaplain of New College, Oxford, and on 26 Nov. 1579 was presented to the rectory of Warrington, Lancashire, which he resigned before 24 July 1581, when his successor was appointed. Subsequently, having what Wood calls ‘a rambling head,’ he was ‘preacher’ at Crowhurst, Banstead, and Tandridge in Surrey, and probably at Bletchingley in Surrey and Odiham in Hampshire. He was instituted vicar of Banstead on 1 Dec. 1604. At one or more of these places he kept a school and practised medicine. He married, at Manchester on 25 Sept. 1582, Mary, daughter of Robert Langley, sometime boroughreeve of Manchester. The date of his death is unknown.

He wrote: 1. ‘Two Godlie and Learned Sermons, preached at Manchester,’ 1582, 12mo; one of these sermons was also published separately (see, Lancashire Gleanings, p. 219). 2. ‘The Summum Bonum, or Chief Happiness of a Faithful Christian, a Sermon preached at Crowhurst,’ 1592, 8vo. 3. ‘The Solace for the Souldier and Saylour: contayning a Discourse and Apologie out of the Heavenly Word,’ 1592, 4to. 4. ‘Encheiridion Morale: in quo Virtutes quatuor (ut vocant) cardinales … describuntur,’ 1597 8vo; dated from Tandridge. 5. ‘Three Sermons [at Tandridge and Crowhurst] upon some portions of the former Lessons appointed for certain Sabbaths,’ 1599, 12mo. 6. ‘Phlebotomy, or a Treatise of Letting of Blood,’ 1601, 8vo. 7. ‘A Discourse of Several kinds and causes of Lightnings, which written by occasion of a Fearfull Lightning which on the 17th. … November 1606 did … burne up the Spire-steeple of Bletchingley,’ 1607, 4to. 8. ‘A discourse concerning the Soul and Spirit of Man,’ 1614. 9. ‘A Treatise on Propagating Plants,’ 1623, 4to; also printed at the end of W. Lawson's ‘New Orchard and Garden,’ 1626 and 1631, and in G. Markham's ‘A Way to Get Wealth,’ 1638, 1648, 1657. Among the Rawlinson MSS. in the Bodleian Library is an unpublished treatise by Harward entitled ‘Apologia in defensionem Martis Angli contra Calumnias Mercurii Gallo-Belgici.’  HARWOOD, BUSICK (1745?–1814), professor of anatomy at Cambridge, second son of John Harwood of Newmarket, was born there about 1745. After apprenticeship to an apothecary, he qualified as a surgeon, and obtained an Indian appointment. In India he received considerable sums for medical attendance on native princes, but his health suffering he returned to England and entered at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated M.B. in 1785 and M.D. in 1790, having been elected F.S.A. in 1783 and F.R.S. in 1784. For his M.B. degree he read a thesis on the transfusion of blood, in which he gave an account of numerous experiments he had made on transfusion from sheep to dogs which had lost a considerable quantity of blood. In one case a pointer was bled nearly to death, and blood being then transfused from a sheep, the dog leaped from the table, walked home, and experienced no subsequent inconvenience. This experiment was performed before a crowded meeting at the anatomical schools
