MR. FURNEAUX'S "ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY."
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIB,—There appeared in the Spectator of April 20th a notice of this book, a volume which has lately been the cause of some anxiety to the Committee of the Society for the Pro- tection of A ninig 1R from Vivisection. Your reviewer does not appear to have observed that at pp. 188 and 189, experi- ments are described on the nerves of the living animal, causing "intense pain." The theory, at least, of the mode of causing this pain has been taught to pupils, because the examination- papers at the end of the book show that it has been examined upon. The attention of the London School Board has been drawn to the book, which is not on their "list," though written by one of their officers; but they decline to interfere. I am sure it would be useful if you were to express your own opinion on such teaching.—I am, Sir, &c., BENJAMIN BRYAN, Secretary.
20 Victoria Street, London, S. W., April 25th.
