To J. S. Burdon Sanderson   15 and 19 April [1875]

Summary

Has written to Lord Derby about the vivisection issue and urged him to speak to the proper members of the Cabinet to prevent "hasty legislation versus science".

Lubbock does not think the petition should be presented as he feels sure that nothing will be done this session.
