Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vaccination Question: Being the Second Issue of a Letter Addressed by Permission in the Autumn of 1894 to the Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, Q. C., M. P, at That Time Home Secretary, Together With a Letter Addressed by Permission in the Autumn of 1895 to the Right Hon. Arthur James The exigencies of stereotype printing, coupled with a due regard to economy, have prevented me from making corrections and additions to the actual text of this second issue of my letter to Mr Asquith, which thus appears here (pp. 1-128) precisely as it did when first published in November 1894. But new matter will be found in the supplementary letter to Mr Balfour, as well as in the notes; and the index enables me to call attention to the few points where correction had to be made. I have reason to be satisfied with the reception given to my first issue. The subject is one that provokes feeling, perhaps even bitterness, on both sides. Anyone who adopts the cause of the "anti-vaccinators" is, ipso facto, reckoned by a vast number of people - who on any other subject would judge fairly and patiently - a crank, a faddist, and a fool. And, with that singular logic, characteristic of all controversies in which orthodoxy denounces heresy, the mere fact of his having lapsed into unorthodoxy deprives of all weight the arguments he may use; and he has to console himself with the reflection that the heresy of to-day is often the orthodoxy of to-morrow. And, apart from the vehemence of the professional advocates of the accepted doctrine, he has also to reckon with the indifference of the great majority, whose mental lethargy resents the intrusion of criticism into what they had always understood to be a settled question.
