"On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals"

Not content with the tolerably
vigorous repudiation which these unprecedented proceedings met with in
Section D, Professor Owen sanctioned the publication of a version of his
own statements, accompanied by a strange misrepresentation of mine (as

the 'Medical Times' for October 11th, 1862. I subjoin the conclusion
of my reply in the same journal for October 25th.

"If this were a question of opinion, or a question of interpretation of
parts or of terms,--were it even a question of observation in which the
testimony of my own senses alone was pitted against that of another
person, I should adopt a very different tone in discussing this matter.
