Présentation de l'éditeur

Tub questioni invol Ted in thii subject are obviousl jof no email importaoce, and it is remarkable tbat tbej have hitherto received ao little consideration from our profession, in America at least, and that so little pertinent to the inquiry before us can be found in English and American jurisprudence. Our statute books, except in provisions for their education, are silent respecting the Deaf and Dumb, and cases bearing on the questions submitted to us, are rare in our law books. In the French, and perhaps in the German works on the Deaf and Dumb, and on medical jurisprudence, the subject before us is more fully and satisfactorily discossed and illustrated, than it is in our own language. Somo foreign codes also, like the Roman Code of Justinian, embrace positive enactments respecting the Deaf and Dumb. Though vbat was law in Rome, or is law in France and Germany, is not law in the United States; still, as in the absence of positive enactments, we have to bo guided by tho general principles of justice and jurisprudence, it will be instructive and useful, as well as interesting, to know what views, of the several questions before us, or involved in our subject, have been, after careful research and mature deliberation, solemnly put forth in other countries, or in other ages of the world.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
