- To those of my readers who may desire to contribute to the
Anti-Vivisection Cause, and who have shared my views on it as set forth in my numberless pamphlets and letters, and to those specially who, like myself, intend to bequeath money to carry on the war against scientific cruelty, I now earnestly say as my final counsel:
'Support the British Union."
In the case of benefactors desiring to bequeath legacies in support
of the cause, they are respectfully urged to clearly state in their
Wills, The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection," and to
make them payable to the Treasurer for the time being.
