Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Education of the Deaf and Dumb: Reprinted From the North American Review But if, in this respect, our own country he still deficient, the labors of foreign writers have been so assiduous and so well directed, as to leave nothing, at least in mere theory, to be desired. Prolific Germany has produced her fifty writers on this single subject, considered in one or another of its as peets. France has more than retrieved the ground which she had lost and from apathy, has passed almost to enthusiasm. Her rapid advances have left all competition far behind, and placed her decidedly at the head of the science and of the art. To her we owe the work of Degerando, the only com plete treatise which the world has yet seen, on the education of the deaf and dumb, - a treatise, which, however particular systems may vary from it in their practical details, embraces those great fundamental principles, which, having their origin in the very nature of things, must lie at the foundation of all. Spain, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Prussia, Switzerland, England, have all contributed their share to the common stock of im provement. Still, though we have in this country done nothing toward perfecting the theory of this noble art, and little toward re ducing to system the details of its practice, we have done that which, to the eye of philanthropy, may seem of much higher importance. We have shown ourselves not insensible to the claim, which this remarkable portion of the human family have upon our sympathy and liberality. We have estab lished institutions, which, though of less than twenty years' standing, occupy an elevated rank as well in character as in number. And though, in our extended country, the num ber of the deaf and dumb is great, and their wants inadequately supplied by the existing provision for their education, still the heart of the philanthropist is gladdened, whether he contem plates what has already been effected, or the disposition which manifests itself among our countrymen, to prosecute to its accomplishment whatever yet remains undone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Education of the Deaf and Dumb Regarding, therefore, the deaf and dumb as beings possessed of an intelligence not wholly inactive; beings, not ent1rely shut out from communication with their fellows; not entirely with out interest in that which is passing before them not wholly unaccustomed to reason and to reflect; and not absolutely without ideas, appertaining to the intellectual and moral worlds; it becomes important to examine, how great a degree of de velopment their mental powers are capable of attaining, and how far the circle of their ideas naturally extends. This inquiry has relation, of course, only to those dumb persons who have been deaf from birth. In every case in which deaf ness has supervened at a later period, the faculties of the mind may have received considerable cultivation before that event. Even language may have been preserved, as in the case of Desloges, after the power of utterance is gone. Cases of this kind are, evidently, widely different from that of an individual, who, never having heard a sound, has of course never attempted to articulate, and for whom language, whether written or spoken, has ever been a sealed book.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes and Annals of the Deaf and Dumb The first edition, consisting of one thousand copies, was published at my own expense and risk and on finding, that when between five and six hundred copleb were either sold or given away, the produce was sufficient to cover all ex penses, I thought the best use to be made of the remaining capies, namely between four and five hundred, was to disperse them all over the world; in order to excite attention every where to the condition of the Deaf and Dumb. With this object, I accordingly sent them, through the various Missionary Societies of Great Britain, the United States and the Netherlands, to nearly all their Missionary stations throughout the world, directed to one or more of the principal Mission aries, in each place, as the persons most likely to feel an interest in a kindred cause and this re sult will be produced, I expect, every where, by the work; so that I trust it may prove in very deed the Herald and the Apostle of the Deaf and Dumb, throughout the four quarters of the globe.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Education of Laura Dewey Bridgman: The Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Girl The author and editor of the present volume was a teacher for five years in the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind. She was for three years the special instructor of Laura Bridgman, and had the honor of giving the first lesson to Oliver Caswell, another blind and deaf mute at the Asylum. She differed from Dr. Samuel G. Howe, the director of the Asylum, in regard to the time of commencing the religious educa. Tion of Laura; but she held him in high esteem as an enterprising, skilful, and persevering instuctor. He characterized her in words like the following She is a lady of great intelligence who is devotedly attached to [laura] an able and excellent teacher, who ful filled her duty with ability and conscientiousness; has been faithful and industrious and in the intellectual ih struction she has shown great tact and ability indeed to Miss Swift [now Mrs. Lamson] and Miss Wight [now Mrs. Bond] belong, far more than to any other persons the pure satisfaction of having been instrumental in the beautiful development of Laura's character. One noteworthy advantage has been enjoyed by the editor of this volume. She has retained an intimate acquaintance with Laura Bridgman for thirty.seven years. Annual Reports of the Trustees of the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind, XI, p. 37 XIII, pp. 23, 24 XIV, p. 30, etc., etc. These documents will be hereafter alluded to simply as Annual Reports. The blind deaf mute was only in the thirteenth year of her age, and in the third year of her residence at the Asylum, when she was put under the particular and almost exclusive charge of Mrs. Lamson, and from that day to this has been accustomed to communicate her thoughts freely to the teacher who instructed her in 1840. The editor of the volume has thus been able to compare the later with the earlier development of Laura. Laura herself is liable to forget those earlier develop ments, to mistake her more recently acquired knowledge for that which she had acquired at a remoter period. The ideas, however, which she expressed in the initial stages of her education were recorded day by day, and the testimony of a written journal is far more trustworthy than that of the memory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Annals of the Deaf and Dumb, 1855, Vol. 7 Opinion among the more experienced American teachers is, that these signs are useful, at least to some extent, and in the earlier lessons. But when Mr. Jacobs goes to the extent of denying that deaf mutes can attach their ideas to words not representing sensible Objects, except by the intermediation of signs; then, so far as I have Observed, he stands, at this stage of the world's progress, nearly or quite alone, and I think I can show, is palpably contradicted by facts.
