“Deanery, Carlisle,
“January 20th, 1875.
“Dear Madam,
“If I had a hundred signatures you should have them all!
“My heart has long burned with indignation against these murderers and torturers of innocent animals.
“Was it for this that the great God made man the Lord of the creation?
“It is incredible hypocrisy and folly to pretend that such wholesale torture is necessary to enlighten these stupid doctors!
“It seems to me peculiarly ungrateful in man, to break forth in this wholesale Animal Inquisition when Providence has so recently revealed to us several new natural powers whereby human suffering is so much diminished.
