Description
Thanks for letter and pamphlet on vivisection; explains that this was not covered in ARW’s Wonderful century because vivisection "is not specially connected with the 19th-Century". Proposes to call the enlarged edition ‘The century of new ideas in science and the arts …’; Phrenology and Hypnotism were [practically, ins] discoveries of the 19th Century; vivisection is ‘wholly bad’ but in a different category of ‘evils’ as does not take away personal freedom.
