Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Sign Language Among the North American Indians: As Illustrating the Gesture Speech of Mankind

Sign-language, being the mother utterance of nature, poetically styled by lamartine the Visible attitudes of the soul, is superior to all others in that it permits every one to find in nature an image-to express his. Thoughts on the most needful matters intelligently to any other person, though it must ever henceforth be inferior in the power of formulating thoughts now attained by words, notwithstanding the boast of Roscius that he could convey more varieties of sentiment by gesture alone than Cicero could in oratory.
