Excerpt from The Deaf and Dumb, or a Collection of Articles Relating to the Condition of Deaf Mutes: Their Education and the Principal Asylums Devoted to Their Instruction
The following pages have been compiled during the many hours of retirement and solitude which have fallen to my lot in the course of a few years past. Whatever has occurred in my reading, having any reference to the peculiar situation of the Deaf and Dumb, I have perused with a degree of interest, which can scarcely be conceived by him who has not known, by his own sad experience, what it is to be condemned to cease less silence, and, while surrounded by those to whom knowledge obtains a ready entrance through, the ear, to feel that, in this respect, he is cut Off from the cheerful ways of men, - and wisdom at one entrance quite shut out. To collect and ar range these materials has been my solace during many hours which others have devoted to the pleasures of social intercourse.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of many hours of retirement and solitude on behalf of the author. It was written to preserve the experiences of deaf and dumb individuals, experiences that are often overlooked or ignored in traditional history. The author, who was born deaf in 1812, brings his own experiences to the forefront, describing the challenges and triumphs of living in a world that often isolates the deaf and dumb. However, his story is not the only one told here, as he has compiled a collection of stories from various deaf and dumb individuals across the country, ensuring a broad perspective of this historically underrepresented group. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the deaf and dumb experience, including education, employment, and social interaction. The author's goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by the deaf and dumb while also highlighting their resilience and determination.
