Was it credible that the genius of the celebrated anatomist, which had been nursed under the wing of his brother, should turn on that wing to clip it?
John Hunter put in his claim to the chief discovery; it was answered by his brother.

The Royal Society, to whom they appealed, concealed the documents of this unnatural feud.

The blow was felt, and the jealousy of literary honour for ever separated the brothers--the brothers of genius.
Such, too, was the jealousy which separated AGOSTINO and ANNIBAL CARRACCI, whom their cousin LUDOVICO for so many years had attempted to unite, and who, during the time their academy existed, worked together, combining their separate powers.[A] The learning and the philosophy of Agostino assisted the invention of the master genius, Annibal; but Annibal was jealous of the more literary and poetical character of Agostino, and, by his sarcastic humour, frequently mortified his learned brother.

Alike great artists, when once employed on the same work, Agostino was thought to have excelled his brother.

Annibal, sullen and scornful, immediately broke with him; and their patron, Cardinal Farnese, was compelled to separate the brothers.
