Vivisection in America. E-book. Formato PDF Frances Power Cobbe - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Rather than cause the enactment of a restrictive law in the United States, the best-informed opponents of Vivi section would defer all legislation on the subject until, through continued agitation, by the introduction of bills for its total suppression in the State legislatures and in Congress, and in every other possible way, the time shall arrive when the approach of civilization will make it possi ble for such bills to become laws: which laws. In a civilized age, there would never be occasion to invoke.

Yet this anguish of heart was bravely borne. There was nothing morbid in her grief. She took the same keen interest as before in the daily affairs of life — in politics and literature and social matters. There never was a nature more made for the enjoyment of social intercourse. She loved to have visitors. To take them for drives about her beautiful home, and to invite her neighbours to pleasant little luncheons and dinners to meet them. Especially she enjoyedthesumrner glories of her sweet old garden,and likedtogive an occasional garden party, and still oftener touketeawithherfriends undertheshadeofthebig cherrytrecon the lawn.

The Modern Rack: Papers on Vivisection. E-book. Formato PDF Frances Power Cobbe - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Messrs. Swan Sonnenschein having done me the honour to propose to republish my principal contributions to the Vivisection controversy, I have gladly accepted their offer, and have selected from the mass the speeches, essays, and leaflets which constitute this small volume. In this collected form these papers may, I would fain hope, prove useful in supplying statements and arguments to those who are now carrying on the agitation against scientific cruelty, and who will continue, I doubt not, to fight the good fight when my share of it is done. Perhaps others also whose minds have never awakened to the meaning of this dreadful subject may be touched by something they may find in one or other of these varied discussions and appeals, and thus be drawn to aid us.The articles in this book (with the exception of the first, which is of earlier date than those which follow it), have not been arranged chronologically; but, so far as was convenient, under the different departments of the controversy with which they are respectively concerned. As regards the scientific passages and descriptions of experiments in these papers, they have all been written with the help (or, at least, not without the revision) of men qualified to judge of each question; and I have no fears that their accuracy will be seriously impugned.
