Excerpt from Important Correspondence With Canon Wilberforce on Vivisection
Many have turn erg from its Gorgon head with speechless horror, lest - like Medusa's potent gaze it, too, might freeze the palsied wretch who looked on it, to stone.
All honor be to the handful of gallan't hearts (among whom I in no wise presume to rank myself sentimental anti-vivisectionists, Henry Guy Carleton calls them - who. With dauntless courage. Have dared to face this hideous Dweller of the Threshold, and gaze, um blanched, into those dreadful eyes.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of anti-vivisectionist writings, chiefly the correspondence between Canon Wilberforce and Henry Sewill, a vivisector. The author is not identified, but the book is clearly intended to be a polemic against vivisection. The author argues that vivisection is cruel, unnecessary, and scientifically invalid. He cites numerous examples of horrific experiments performed on animals, and he argues that these experiments have not led to any significant advances in medical science. He also argues that vivisection is morally wrong, and that it degrades those who practice it. The book is a powerful indictment of vivisection, and it is sure to provoke debate among readers on both sides of the issue.
