Sinossi

Excerpt from Scripture Lessons for the Deaf and Dumb

This little work was designed as a part of a series of elementary books prepared with a view to the wants of a peculiar class of learners. In the instruo tion of the deaf and dumb, the combined lights of philosophy and experience teach us to begin with the simplest possible forms of language, to avoid wholly at the outset, and as much as possible for some time, idiomatic phrases, and to proceed by slow and gradual steps from the simple to the more com plex. The Ordinary reading books, for children who hear, fulfil none of these. Conditions. Their use would involve the necessity of introducing serious difficulties of construction long before the pupil is prepared for them, and thus the benefit of a well-arranged course of instruction would be in a measure lost.

Still, it is not always possible, if we would write English, to express certain indispensable circum stances, in a narrative, or description, without an occasional resort to idiomatic expressions. In such cases, the word or phrase is printed in italics, to de note that it requires more particular explanation and illustration from the teacher.
