Vivisection

Abstract

ASSUREDLY “the worthy and humane Huxley” stands in no pressing need of the testimonial of Mr. G. W. Cooke (NATURE, vol. ix. p. 202) to his worth and humanity. (By the way, I thought at first that the gratuity came from the generosity of Mr. E. W. Cooke, whose amusing vivisections, in his “Grotesque Animals,” could offend nobody.) Still less does the practice of vivisection stand in need of such encouragement as is given to it in the leading article in NATURE, vol. ix. p. 177. With such a champion as Mr. Ray Lankester, there is n fear of physiologists losing sight of the duty of vivisection, not merely for the discovery of truth, but for its demonstration to students of physiology.
