MR. RUSSELL ON VIVISECTION.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—The Times of yesterday, in an article on the Vivisection debate, had these words :—" Mr. George Russell `maintained that a man in whom the moral sense had so far decayed as to bring himself to perform excruciating operations on defenceless creatures, could not be expected to show an acute sensibility as to the lesser faults of evasion and equivocation.' It is no extenuation of this injurious and baseless charge that Mr. Russell's psychology is as crude as his misstatement of the facts is glaring." In reply, I wrote the following letter, which the Times has characteristically failed to publish. Perhaps you
will kindly insert it.—I am, Sir, &c., G. W. E. RUSSELL.
2 Morpeth Terrace, Victoria Street, S.W., April 6th.
