Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lord Chief Justice of England on Vivisection
IN the papers Of Sir James Paget, Mr. Owen, and Dr. Wilks, on the subject of Vivisection, published in the Mneteenth Century for December, 1881, more than one reference is made to a Judge or Judges. NO other Judge has spoken upon the subject, as far as I am aware; so that when a Judge or law Officer is mentioned by three gentlemen amongst those opponents worthy at once of the contempt and anger which they express, or very imperfectly conceal, towards them, I cannot help applying some of the censure to myself. I wish I could; partly because so to apply it may look like vanity, as if in this regard I thought myself worthy of the notice of such great people; but much more because the statements as to anything I have ever said or written are so entirely inaccurate, that I must conclude (want of apprehension in such distinguished men being out of the ques tion), either that they have not read what they profess to notice, or that they feel confident no one will read any reply.
