Clergy and Vivisection

THE CLERGY AND VIVISECTION

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR"]

Sir,—One of your correspondents has said he has never heard, and never seen any one who has heard, a sermon on the subject of Vivisection. I think, perhaps, he will be interested to learn that the Rev. David Wright, M.A. Vicar of Stoke Bishop, has preached three times on this subject, and that his sermons are published,—the first two, "Ægrescit Medendo" and "No Pity" by Hamilton, Adams, and Co. ; and the third, by the "Bristol and Clifton Anti-Vivisection Society."—I am, Sir, &c., A. MURIEL ROSCOE. 151 Elgin Park, Redland, Bristol, March 25th.
