He seems to have been a reader in rhetoric at Cambridge from his _Ciceronianus, vel Oratio post reditum habita Cantabrigiae ad suos auditores_. Lond. 1577. 4to. It is dedicated to William Lewin, I suppose of Christ's college. (See Wood, ubi supr.) He published also _Rhetor, vel duorum dierum oratio de natura arte et exercitatione_ rhetorica, Lond. 1577. 4'o. It is dedicated to Bartholomew Clark, the elegant translator of Castilios _Courtier_, who has also prefixed an address to our author's _Rhetor_, dated at Mitcham in Surrey, Cal. Sept. 1577. He published in four books, a set of Latin poems called _Gabrielis Harveii Gratulationum Valdinensium Libri quatuor_, &c. Lond. 1578. 4to. This book he wrote in honour of queen Elisabeth, while she was on a progress at Audley-end in Essex, "afterwards presenting the same in print to her Highnesse at the worshipfull Maister Capels in Hertfordshire." _Notes_ to Spenser's _September_. He mentions a most perfect and elegant delineation or engraving of all England, _perartificiose expressa_, procured by his friend M. Saccoford, to which the queen's effigy, _accuratissime depicta_, was prefixed. Lib. i. p. 13. In his character of an accomplished _Maid of Honour_ of the queen's court, some curious qualifications are recited. One of the first, to make her truly amiable, is what he calls _Affectatio_. She is to understand painting her cheeks, to have a collection of good jokes, to dance, draw, write verses, sing, and play on the lute, and furnish her library with some approved recipt-books. She is to be completely skilled in cosmetics. "_Deglabret_, lavet, atque ungat, &c." Lib. iiii. p. 21. 22. (See supr. ii[i]. [426, n].) Another book of Harvey's Latin poetry is his _Smithus, vel Musarum Lacrymae_, on the death of Seceretary [sic] Sir Thomas Smith, Lond. 1578. 4to. The dedication is to Sir Walter Mildmay. When Smith died, he says, Lord Surrey broke his lyre. _Cant._ v. He wishes on this mournful occasion, that More, Surrey, and Gascoigne, would be silent. _Cant._ vi. Ascham, Carr, Tonge, Bill, Goldwell, Watson, and Wilson, are panegyrised as imitators of Smith. [Nicholas Carr, 1524-1568, was Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge. William Bill, d. 1561, was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Perhaps Tonge is the Barnaby Tonge who matriculated at Christ Church, Cambridge, in 1555. There were two John Goldwell's at Cambridge in Smith's day: one was a fellow at Queen's from 1538 to 1542; the other was named fellow of Trinity in 1546. For Wilson see Warton's discussion earlier in the _History_ (III, 331-344), where this very praise in Harvey's _Smithus_ is quoted.] _Cant._ vii. Signat. D. iij. See also, Sign. L. i. And C. ij. Wilson, the author of the _Art of Rhetoric_, is again commended. Ibid. Sign. E. ij. Again, Sign. F. i. F. ij. He thinks it of consequence to remember, that Smith gave a Globe, _mira arte politum_, to Queens College Library at Cambridge. Ibid, Sign. E. iij.
