Excerpt from Observations on the Education of the Deaf and Dumb: Reprinted From the North American ReviewStill, 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
