Synopsis

This book is an introductory religious instruction manual for Deaf and Dumb pupils, written by an anonymous author sometime before 1860. It starts with some basic ideas about God and the soul, before moving on to a catechism touching on the major events and figures of biblical history. The book concludes with a series of religious questions and answers, such as what our duty is to God and our fellow man. The author's aim is clearly to provide essential religious knowledge to pupils in a form that is both accessible and easy to understand. The book provides a valuable insight into the religious attitudes and educational methods of the time, as well as offering a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and rewards of teaching deaf and dumb children.
