Synopsis

Excerpt from Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb: Or a Theoretical and Practical View of the Means by Which They Are Taught to Speak and Understand a Language; Containing Hints for the Correction of Impediments in Speech Together With a Vocabulary

To be born deaf, or to lose the hearing at an early age, before the habit of speaking is so confirmed, or the stock of articulate language so copious, as very powerfully to impress the memory, is invariably followed by Dumbness. Not, certainly, as some writers have affirmed, on account of any sympathy between the organ of hearing and the organs of speech, by which the disease or defect of the former is transferred to the latter. Were this the cafe, Dumb people could not be taught to speak.
