Synopsis
Excerpt from A Correspondence in "the Daily Mail" Between Sir Victor Horsley and Walter R. Hadwen, on Vivisection, September 1908: Suppressed Letters, Also a Letter by Durham, With the Suppressed Reply
I am glad, however, to find one point in which I can heartily, agree with him. In the Swiss Family Robinson,' he says, the children ask if they can eat some nice-looking fruit; they are told. To try it on the monkey first. And with a trium phant interrogatory your correspondent concludes his letter, Who would not do the same under the same circumstances for their children's sake? The italics are mine. It is interesting to have the testi mony of a vivisector to the intelligence and natural instinct of the Simian race. By nature a frugivorous animal, the monkey possesses the ability, denied to its superior. In the scale of creation, of intuitively distinguishing harmless from harmful fruit. I ask if a creature so useful and intelligent and so closely allied to ourselves anatomically and physiologically should be submitted to the horrible and unnecessary experiments in regard to which your correspondent, Sir Victor Horsley, has to a large extent earned his fame - I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
