Print on Demand. This book offers a systematic, progressive approach to teaching deaf and dumb students written language. It adapts the French system to English, converting manual signs into corresponding written words. The author has consulted with experts in the field, including the well-known Abbe Sicard, and has organized the book into 85 exercises that increase in complexity. The exercises progress from teaching individual letters to constructing complete sentences, and provide a comprehensive vocabulary as well as guidance on grammar and syntax. The author also includes exercises on numbers, colors, and contrasting words. This innovative method has been successfully implemented in the New York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, and has enabled students to achieve significant progress in their learning journey. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Exploring the early promises and limits of ear care This edition examines historical remedies for deafness, including surgical ideas, practical cautions, and how hearing can return or falter in different cases.

The text presents real-world observations from medical professionals about what works, what doesn’t, and why results vary. It also discusses how restored hearing should be approached with patience and gradual training, much like teaching a child to speak after gaining sound.

How the drum of the ear and Eustachian tubes relate to hearing loss and restoration

Why some operations may help temporarily but not prevent later deafness

What is known about teaching speech after a hearing gain

Different ear diseases and their distinct treatments, from nervous deafness to fluid discharge

Ideal for readers of medical history, early otology, and those curious about how 19th‑century approaches shaped modern care.
