About This Item
8vo. Original stitched printed wrappers; a perfect copy preserved in a half-morocco slipcase, small bookplate of Alfred Sutro on the verso of the front wrapper.
One of 150 copies printed for private circulation, this offprint was Dodgson's serious attempt to discredit vivisection. The article "fails to be fully effective from the juxtaposition of pitiless logic with warm and generous sentiment. He counters no fewer than thirteen positions or theses which he regards as fallacious, but regards the infliction of pain on animals as in some cases justifiable, under proper legislation." It was published in the June 1, 1875 edition of the Fortnightly Review. It has been argued that this edition may be a later, fraudulent printing, although a proof copy supposedly inscribed by Dodgson is held in the Parrish collection and according to Williams, "it is gratifying to be able to state definitely that it was issued by Dodgson, and under his direction."
Williams, Madan, Green, 106.
