The Harveian Oration is a yearly lecture held at the Royal College of Physicians of London. It was instituted in 1656 by William Harvey, discoverer of the systemic circulation. Harvey made financial provision for the college to hold an annual feast on St. Luke's Day (18 October) at which an oration would be delivered in Latin to praise the college's benefactors and to exhort the Fellows and Members of this college to search and study out the secrets of nature by way of experiment. Until 1865, the Oration was given in Latin, as Harvey had specified, and known as the Oratio anniversaria; but it was thereafter spoken in English. Many of the lectures were published in book form.

  • Die Harveian Oration (engl.; Harveische Rede) ist eine seit 1656 jährlich stattfindende Rede vor der englischen Ärztekammer Royal College of Physicians (RCP) of London. Die Harveian Orations sind die bekannteste nach William Harvey benannte Vortragsreihe in der britischen Medizin. Harvey hatte dem RCP sein väterliches Erbe gestiftet, ein Anwesen in Burmarsh in Essex. In der Stiftungsurkunde vom 26. Juni 1656 verfügt er, dass einmal jährlich im Andenken an den Stifter eine Rede in lateinischer Sprache vor dem RCP gehalten werden müsse. Dem Redner solle eine Entlohnung von 5 Pfund gezahlt werden, eine Zahlung die erst 1939 auf 10 Guinees (GBP 10,50) erhöht wurde. (de)
