Vivisection: Being Short Comments On Certain Parts Of The Evidence Given Before The Royal Commission (1877) is a book written by George Macilwain. The book is a critical analysis of the evidence presented before the Royal Commission on vivisection, which was established in 1875 to investigate the practice of animal experimentation in the United Kingdom. Macilwain, a British surgeon and anti-vivisectionist, provides a detailed examination of the testimony given by various witnesses, including scientists, physicians, and animal rights activists. He argues that the evidence presented in favor of vivisection is flawed and that the practice is both cruel and unnecessary. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debate surrounding animal experimentation in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of animal rights activism and the ethics of scientific research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
