    which it involves, and I sincerely hope that your pamphlet may make valuable contribution to these ends. Yours very truly, Phillips Brooks. Philip G. Peabody, Esq. From Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts. United States Senate, Washington, D. C, 24th March, i8go. Dear Sir : I have yours of the 20th inst., and also your pamphlet, which I have read with great interest and instruction. I agree with you essentially in the suggestions made. Yours truly, H. L. Dawes. Philip G. Peabody, Esq. From Signor Tommaso Salvini:— Boston, March 25th, i8go. Philip G. Peabody, Esq.: Dear Sir, — The spirit that animates the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of which you are a worthy representative, can only be the inspiration of a kindly heart, and like you I deplore the fact that these creatures, deprived of speech, but not of feeling and affec- tion, are often sacrificed for anatomical experiments and for other researches of modern science. Those who employ such heartless measures say that these are necessary for the good of humanity, but I repeat instead that they are expedients of a barbarous ambition. Pure science should be of genera] benefit, hurtful to no one, and in my opinion man should be prevented from the employment of such examples, humiliating to the entire human race. Very truly yours, Tommaso Salvini.
