Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sign Language, a Manual of Signs: Being a Descriptive Vocabulary of Signs Used by the Deaf in the United States and Canada
In the preparation of the work I have been greatly in debted to Rev. Philip J. Hasenstab, of Chicago, who care fully went over the manuscript, verifying the descriptions, pointing out errors, and offering many suggestions which have added to the value of the completed material.
I ask the indulgence of my critical readers for the de feets in the work which will become apparent. No one can realize them more fully than the author himself, but in extenuation I hope my readers will take into account the difficulty of accurately describing certain motions of the hands and arms which apparently have no name.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the sign language used by the deaf in the United States and Canada. It delves into the language's historical origins, tracing its development from its introduction by the Rev. Thomas H. Gallaudet in the 19th century to its present form. The author explores the intricacies of sign language, highlighting its unique structure and expressive potential. Unlike spoken or written language, sign language uses word pictures and gestures to convey meaning. The author discusses the significance of the language as a vital tool for communication, education, and social interaction within the deaf community. The book also examines the common misconceptions surrounding sign language and its place in the education of the deaf, challenging the prevailing attitudes that sought to relegate it to the past. It argues that despite the rise of oral methods in deaf education, sign language remains a vital and expressive language. This book provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and appreciate the rich history and enduring power of this unique language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
